About the job
Our Mission
If you've experienced the challenges of compliance firsthand, you understand the frustration of endless reviews, duplicate alerts, and antiquated systems that transform even the simplest controls into time-consuming tasks. The rules may be logical, but the systems often are not.
Sphinx is here to change that. We develop AI analysts that function within browsers and internal systems just like human operators—automating Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB), and transaction monitoring from start to finish.
Rather than replacing human judgment, our agents replicate it—learning from analyst feedback, articulating their reasoning, and continuously improving. The outcome: accelerated onboarding, reduced false positives, and compliance teams that can concentrate on strategic decisions rather than data entry.
Banks and fintech companies across the U. S., Canada, Europe, and Latin America leverage Sphinx agents to handle 90% of their manual tasks and reduce operational costs by up to 4x.
