Job Description
Yes is an iGaming startup building something different — a product players actually trust and have fun using. We move fast, we care about doing things properly, and we'd rather automate the boring stuff to focus on what's interesting.
Our offices are in London and Malta. We are a small team and are deliberately staying lean. We empower every person on the team to take end-to-end responsibility of the work themselves, at least to the point of producing a prototype, spec, or working artefact. No producers. No project managers. No intermediaries.
About the role
You'll be our Risk operations analyst, looking at risk holistically with a specialised focus on Responsible Gambling and AML, and with enough payments and fraud instinct to see the whole picture. You will work across payments, fraud, compliance and player protection, helping us build a risk operations that scales intelligently while maintaining the highest regulatory standards.
You're someone who takes initiative and has real passion for what you do. Together with our Payments Fraud and Risk manager you'll own the day-to-day pulse of our risk operation — spotting patterns, tuning rules, escalating what matters, and feeding what you learn back into the product in terms of rules.
What you'll do
What you'll actually doArea | Day-to-day |
|---|---|
RG & AML | Use tools like Mindway AI to monitor player behaviour for markers of harm and AML red flags. Continuously optimize RG and AML rules per market. Own the day-to-day AML monitoring queue — reviewing triggered alerts, assessing transaction patterns, and applying a risk-based approach to customer due diligence. Liaise with our Compliance and Legal Officer and MLRO for STRs/SARs, document requests, and SOW/SOF reviews. |
Risk operations | Review escalated deposits, withdrawals and accounts. Investigate multi-accounting, bonus abuse, chargebacks, and suspicious flows — including those with potential money laundering typologies. Document everything — we love a good audit trail. |
Rule tuning | Work with the PM on SEON rules, MoneyMatrix rule engine, and Mindway (AML & RG) thresholds. Bring data driven insights Test, measure, iterate. |
Holistic monitoring | Watch the full picture — Payments, Fraud, RG and AML together. Spot when a chargeback spike is actually a bonus abuse ring, or when an RG flag is hiding a money mule. Recognise when structuring, layering or smurfing patterns cut across multiple players or accounts. |
Continuous improvement | Help automate the repetitive stuff. If you're doing the same review three times, build a rule or a checklist. We want your brain on the hard cases. |
Collaboration | Liaise with PSPs, KYC/AML vendors, Compliance, Product and Customer Support. You're the operational glue. |
What you bring
Must-have | Nice-to-have |
|---|---|
2–4 years in iGaming Risk/Fraud/AML ops | DGA / Spillemyndigheden experience |
Strong RG and AML grounding — you know what a marker of harm looks like, how to assess a customer's risk profile, and how to escalate cleanly to compliance and the MLRO | Mindway AI (RG/AML module) hands-on |
Comfortable with SEON or similar digital fingerprinting tools | EveryMatrix (GamMatrix, MoneyMatrix, BonusEngine) exposure |
Genuine curiosity about AI and automation — you've used AI tools to work faster, not to replace thinking | FullStory or other behavioural analytics |
Analytical and data-comfortable — pivot tables, SQL basics, dashboards | Experience with new market launches |
Clear written English, structured thinking, good at documentation | Danish a plus |
You're someone who sees a weird transaction and can't help digging in. You notice when a deposit pattern doesn't quite add up, when a withdrawal request feels off, or when an AML alert is hiding something more interesting than the rule that fired it. You know the difference between noise and signal — and you know how to document that distinction in a way that holds up to regulatory scrutiny.
You're allergic to "we've always done it this way." You'd rather ship a working rule today and refine it next week than write a 20-page memo. If you're doing the same AML review three times, you're already thinking about how to systematise it.
You care about Responsible Gambling genuinely, not as a compliance checkbox. You understand that a well-run AML programme and a great player experience aren't in tension — protecting players and protecting the business are the same job.
You're warm with providers and colleagues, sharp on detail, and you don't dramatise — you fix.
This is a real opportunity to grow with Yes. You'll be mentored directly by an experienced Fraud and Risk team — our Director of payment fraud and risk and our Product Manager— while bringing your RG and AML strengths to a team that genuinely values them.
Small team, real ownership, no layers between you and decisions. We're regulated in Denmark with more markets coming, so the work stays interesting and you'll get to shape how we scale.
If you are looking to move beyond processing alerts and want to help build and improve systems, this role offers that opportunity.
