Sample interview questions
How would you establish and maintain an AML/ATF program for a newly expanding Canadian MSB?

I would begin with a documented enterprise risk assessment covering products, customers, geographies, delivery channels, and transaction patterns. I would then implement proportionate policies, KYC and monitoring controls, escalation paths, reporting governance, training, independent testing, and management reporting, with regular refreshes as the business changes.

Describe your approach to deciding whether to file a Suspicious Transaction Report with FINTRAC.

I would ensure investigators document the facts, transaction history, customer profile, and relevant risk indicators, then assess whether there are reasonable grounds to suspect money laundering or terrorist activity financing. The decision would be timely, independently made, consistently documented, and supported by quality assurance and clear record retention.

How would you prepare Ramp Canada for a FINTRAC examination?

I would maintain an exam-ready evidence library containing the risk assessment, policies, training records, monitoring and sanctions procedures, case files, reporting records, governance minutes, and testing results. Before an examination, I would run a targeted gap assessment, assign owners for remediation, and prepare concise narratives that demonstrate how controls operate in practice.

How would you work with Engineering to improve AML operations using AI?

I would identify high-volume, repeatable tasks such as alert enrichment, document summarization, case prioritization, and quality-control support. Any AI workflow would have defined controls, explainability standards, access safeguards, human review for material decisions, and ongoing performance monitoring to avoid weakening regulatory compliance.

How would you manage differing AML expectations between FINTRAC and a Canadian banking partner?

I would map each requirement to the relevant legal obligation, contractual commitment, and risk rationale, then identify gaps or conflicts early. I would communicate transparently with the partner, document decisions and approvals, and implement the stronger practical control where appropriate while preserving clear accountability for Ramp's regulatory obligations.

About Ramp

Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $275B in annualized spend flows in and out of 85,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.

The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.

We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.

The median Ramp customer saves 7.5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.

If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.

  • Partner with the Global team and the Engineering team to identify areas of opportunity for automation, and operational efficiency and lead AI-driven initiatives.
