Millions of people trust Nu with their financial lives — and keeping that trust means making sure every customer interaction meets the highest standards of integrity and compliance. As an AML QA Analyst on our Regulatory Solutions team in Mexico, you'll be a critical line of defense in protecting Nu and its customers against financial crime.

You'll execute independent quality assurance reviews across our AML, KYC, Judicial Orders, and Ombudsman operations — identifying control gaps, evaluating process effectiveness, and helping us continuously raise the bar. Your work directly strengthens Nu's First Line of Defense Program and contributes to a fairer, more ethical financial system in Mexico.

This is a role for someone who is detail-oriented and principled, who understands that regulatory compliance isn't just a box to check — it's foundational to everything we build. You'll work alongside engineers, data scientists, and cross-functional teams to turn QA findings into real improvements.
