This report is about hiring. First we pulled Brighty's entire job-posting history (68 postings) and read it: what you're building, what's hard to close, and where. Then — the core of it: for 6 key roles we did the work of hiring analysts and built the ideal-candidate profile (proven senior + promising middle), the reasons those people are ready to move right now, and — concretely — how our database finds them. This is a preview of what we deliver as a dataset: not a raw list scraped from open search, but data engineering built around your hiring problem.
internal-grade research · prepared 2026-06-28 · MEASURED · Outricher data · brighty.app
We pulled all 68 of Brighty's job postings with the full description of each. The hiring profile reads unambiguously: you're building the regulatory and customer-facing functions of a licensed neobank — compliance, security, finance, support, and product. You barely hire engineers externally (2 postings) — the core is stable (see report №4).
| Function | Postings | Share |

Before the roles — one paragraph on method. We don't search "by keywords in the headline". We build the ICP and find people by meaning and by signals, drawing on profile depth (5-13 career positions, education, skills, code footprint, salary estimate) and on readiness-to-move triggers.
So this isn't theory: we ran the roles against the database and counted real candidates. Below are current specialists from only the donor companies named in the ICPs below (Revolut, Wise, Paysera, Nexo, Crypto.com, Bitpanda, TransferGo, kevin.). This is a measured floor, not the whole graph: across the full database (1.17B profiles) the pool is many times larger — here we show only the verifiable slice tied to specific donors.
For each hard-to-fill role, two candidate tiers: Senior (proven, low risk, will fit the team) and Promising Middle (budget-friendly, fast-rising, high ceiling, not yet in big-tech). For each: filtering criteria, reasons they're ready to move, the concrete search mechanics through our database, and ready-to-deliver ICP segments.
We look for a Baltic MLRO — a resident of the license jurisdiction, a regulator-ready senior verifiable against the register — plus a fast-rising AML analyst to grow into the role (budget middle, for AML Officer/Deputy MLRO) from CEE crypto/fintech donors and the Revolut bloodline, ready to move on stagnation and license-revocation signals detectable from position dates.
The hardest role to close in Brighty's hiring: MLRO was reopened 6 times, and Compliance/AML is 17 of 68 postings. For a licensed crypto neobank this is a fit-and-proper person personally approved by the regulator (Lietuvos bankas / Latvijas Banka / Estonian FIU) — without one the license doesn't function, and every month the seat is empty is regulatory risk. Context deepens the shortage: fiat+crypto means a dual regime (EMI/PI + VASP/CASP under MiCA), and the team's core (LT 13 + Vilnius hub) sits squarely in the Baltic AML market. The repeated reopenings signal a narrow keyword channel chasing overheated names; our edge is scanning the entire CEE AML-specialist graph by title, certification, and licensed employer. CAVEAT: "approved by the regulator as a named responsible person" is a fact from public registers, NOT a structured graph field; on the graph we find people by licensed employer and title, and verify fit-and-proper status against the register as a separate step.
A serving MLRO / Deputy MLRO / Head of AML / Head of Financial Crime at a licensed EMI/PI or VASP/CASP in the Baltics (LT/LV/EE), resident of the license jurisdiction, 5+ years in financial-crime monitoring with the full cycle (AML program, SAR/STR to the FIU, sanctions/PEP screening, transaction monitoring, MiCA/Travel Rule, regulator examinations). The ideal is someone Lietuvos bankas / Latvijas Banka has already approved as an AML responsible person (verified against the register as a separate step, not on the graph): re-approval is faster = license risk minimized. ACAMS/ICA is a booster, not required.
An AML / KYC / Transaction Monitoring / Sanctions Analyst, 2-4 years at a licensed fintech or a Nordic bank's Baltic AML hub, already filing SAR/STR, working alerts, and holding or pursuing CAMS or ICA. This is "one rung below MLRO" on the standard ladder KYC → AML Analyst → AML Officer/Deputy MLRO → MLRO: a candidate for AML Officer / Deputy MLRO with room to grow. Several times cheaper than a senior, trained to tier-1 standards; covers the Brighty vacancies posted as AML Officer rather than named MLRO.
A licensed-neobank CISO / infosec officer: a proven senior with real ISO 27001/SOC 2 audit experience from CEE (fintech preferred, a regulated non-bank acceptable — supply is narrow) for the senior tier — and a security middle with operational ownership + a tenure plateau for the budget tier; we find them by title+geo (proven: 27 CISOs in one LT/LV pass), with cert/code footprint used for ranking, not filtering.
The CISO vacancy was reposted 4 times (of 68 postings; only one is actually open now — HR Ops) — the old funnel kept breaking: expensive enterprise CISOs declined, or the "crypto + licensed bank" combination simply wasn't there. Brighty is a licensed crypto-fiat neobank (Series A $10M, Dec-2024, HQ Zug), and security here is a condition of keeping the license: DORA/NIS2/GDPR for EU customers, perimeter audits (ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / PCI-DSS) for banking partnerships. The engineering core is stable (Engineering 14/45 staffed), but the scarce contour is compliance/security: of 68 postings, 17 are Compliance/AML/Risk and 4 are InfoSec/Security; without a security officer you can't pass audits or close enterprise/B2B deals. IMPORTANT, for honesty: this is a role WE help fill (candidate sourcing), not a data-sales lead.
A proven security leader from a regulated financial/payments/crypto environment (priority: a licensed EMI/VASP/bank, but NOT required: the LT/LV CISO pool is mostly outside fintech, and a strong regulated-non-bank CISO will do): 7+ years in Information Security, of which 3+ as Head of Security / CISO / Information Security Officer, with experience passing ISO 27001 / SOC 2 audits (PCI-DSS a plus) and real regulator interaction. Comfortable building the security function hands-on in a growing neobank. A certification (CISSP/CISM) is a plus, verifiable on a narrow pool, not an entry barrier.
A fast-rising security specialist from a CEE fintech/crypto or a regulated company who already carries the security function (operational ownership) without a C-level title: 3-6 years of experience, Security Engineer / Information Security Specialist / Security Lead / sole Security Officer / GRC Specialist. The ceiling is obvious — the ISMS is built, there's no new challenge, and there's no path up to CISO; for Brighty this is a future CISO to grow into the role at the price of a senior engineer. A technical footprint (public code) is a plus where it exists, but NOT a required qualifier: a strong security function in a neobank is often GRC/audit/IR, not code.
An accounting/finance specialist for a regulated fintech (ACCA/CPA + IFRS consolidation + group statutory LT/LV/CH + crypto/fiat accounting) in two tiers: a proven CFO/Group Chief Accountant who has already filed reporting for a licensed EMI, and a budget Big4 audit senior / Baltic controller on the threshold of their first #1 role — found cheaply via titles+geo+bloodline, with certifications read off by a text scan.
An empirically confirmed pain-point vacancy: of 68 postings, 1 is open now, and the Chief Accountant role in Vilnius has been reposted repeatedly, while the entire Finance / Accounting function on the team = 1 person (vs Engineering 14, Leadership 10) — a single FTE holds the whole accounting contour across multiple jurisdictions. The JD explicitly requires: ownership accounting + statutory reporting + audit across ALL of the Brighty group, Director seniority, at least 60 months of experience — a rare intersection of IFRS consolidation, crypto/fiat accounting, EMI reporting, and local statutory work. Brighty is a licensed crypto-fiat neobank (Zug CH, 2020) entering a phase of financial maturity after its Series A $10M (Dec-2024); the team is LT 13 / AE 9 / KZ 3 / LV 2, and the main accounting contour is Lithuanian (Vilnius), so a Chief Accountant who has filed statutory reporting for an LT-licensed EMI closes the role with almost no onboarding. This is a role we help fill, not a sales lead.
A proven accounting/finance leader from a licensed fintech/EMI/bank, in two sub-roles under the "Chief Accountant / Finance (incl. CFO)" framing: (A) CFO / Finance Director — 10-18 years, finance at a regulated EMI/bank, Series A→B fundraising and investor reporting, multi-jurisdiction CH/LT/EU/AE, CFA or ACCA/ACA. (B) Chief Accountant / Head of Accounting / Group Financial Controller — 8-15 years, full ACCA/ACA/CPA or a statutory auditor LT/LV, GROUP IFRS consolidation + statutory reporting + the audit cycle of a licensed institution (the literal language of Brighty's JD), bridging Lithuanian GAAP→IFRS and reporting to the Bank of Lithuania, ideally with crypto/fiat dual-ledger accounting.
A Senior Accountant / Group Financial Controller / Deputy Chief Accountant / Audit Senior, 5-8 years, ACCA/CPA finalist→full member, currently #2 in the finance function of a small LT/LV/EE fintech OR a Big4 audit senior on the up-or-out threshold. Ready for the first step into a #1 role (Chief Accountant) at a Series-A neobank; we hold the floor at 5 years because of the JD's 60-month requirement.
We look for a product UX specialist for a mobile-first crypto neobank: the senior tier — a proven UX Lead/Head of Design from bloodline neobanks (Revolut, Islamic Coin, Monerchy) with KYC/payment-flow experience; the middle tier — a fast-rising Product Designer with 2-4 years from a CEE fintech or a strong studio, budget-friendly with a high ceiling, detectable via tenure-plateau signals and a recent move into an off-profile industry.
Product/UX is Brighty's third-largest hiring function (11 of 68 postings; only Compliance/AML at 17 and Support at 13 are larger), and within it UX Lead/Researcher repeats more than other design titles. For a mobile-first crypto-fiat neobank at Series A ($10M, Dec-2024), the product lives on onboarding simplicity, KYC/AML flows, and the clarity of fiat↔crypto operations; the engineering core (founder team, CTO ex-Revolut) is stable, and the churn is in the product functions. The figures LT 29 / LV 11 / PL 4 / CH 4 / UAE 4 are the distribution of the vacancies themselves by country, not the geography of candidates: the takeaway is that Brighty hires product in CEE + Dubai, not in expensive Zurich (the HQ is 3 people), so we search for the candidate there by country of residence. This is a role we help fill, not a sales lead.
A proven UX Lead / Head of Design / Lead Product Designer with 6+ years in product design, of which at least 2-3 years in B2C mobile fintech, a neobank, or a crypto product, with end-to-end mobile flows (onboarding, KYC, payments) and research+design experience. The ideal case comes from Brighty's bloodline companies (Revolut, Islamic Coin/Haqq, Monerchy) or CEE neobank peers: fit confirmed by an active talent corridor.
A fast-rising Product Designer / UX/UI Designer with 2-4 years of experience and a visible jump on the timeline (Junior→Middle→Senior in a short span, or a move to a larger company), currently at a mid-size fintech/crypto/B2C product or a strong studio with fintech cases, but NOT yet in big-tech and NOT senior at a top neobank. T-shaped and hungry for responsibility — cheap now, a potential UX Lead in 1-2 years under senior-tier mentorship.
A multilingual Customer Support/Success Lead from a B2C neobank or crypto (LT/LV/PL/EE + Dubai) who can build a support line to SLA/CSAT with escalations into Compliance: a HARD filter on title+geo+domain (reliable fields), with multilingualism a boost, not a cutoff; the senior is a proven Head from domain-relevant CEE fintechs for low risk, and the middle (the main bet) is a fast-rising specialist→team lead from CEE crypto/fintech, detectable from the position timeline, which matches Brighty's actual specialist-level demand.
Customer Support / Success is the 2nd most frequent function in Brighty's hiring archive: 13 of 68 postings (after Compliance/AML at 17). A caveat from the data: what's reposted is not "Lead" but "Customer Support Specialist (B2C Sector)" (×4, geo LT+AE) — i.e. the literal demand is for mid specialists (37 of 68 postings are mid), and there's no Support Lead as a separate line (only 14 Lead/C-level in total). The need for a Lead isn't written into the vacancies — it's a structural inference: with 13 specialist reposts and a geo skew toward LT (29) / LV (11), the line is scaling reactively, without a managed layer. For a licensed crypto-fiat neobank, support is a front line of regulatory risk (AML/KYC escalations, chargebacks, freezes) and a retention channel; you need someone who can assemble a CS function from the reposted specialists with metrics (CSAT, FRT, deflection), tiers, and escalation into Compliance. The role maps cleanly onto the graph (titles, domain, person-level geo), so Outricher is effective here.
A proven Customer Support/Success Lead or Head of Support with 5-9 years in B2C fintech/neobank/crypto, of which ≥2-3 years leading a line (a team of 5-20+ agents) in a REGULATED product: understands the support↔Compliance link (AML/KYC escalations, regulator complaints), held SLA/CSAT/FRT, launched a multilingual line. Based in LT/LV/PL or Dubai (AE), matching Brighty's hubs; low integration risk — knows the pain of a crypto-fiat product, needs no explanation of a chargeback or an AML freeze.
A fast-rising Senior Support Specialist / Support Team Lead / Customer Success Manager with 2-4 years in B2C fintech or crypto, who has just outgrown the agent role and taken a first team/group lead but doesn't yet have a Head title and hasn't gone to big-tech — owns the tools (Zendesk/Intercom), knows the domain, is multilingual, high ceiling (needs the Lead→Head step). Budget-efficient: cheaper than a ready-made Head, and with onboarding will fill Support Lead in 6-12 months; and this is a direct answer to Brighty's real demand — it's the specialist level that gets reposted, so a growing specialist→lead closes both the current gap and the future management layer.
Senior — a proven "one-person analytics" hire from EU/crypto fintech (Revolut/Monerchy bloodline, LT/LV/Dubai — where the team actually is), who has already built retention/unit-economics in a regulated neobank; Middle — a fast-rising product/growth analyst with 2-4 years from a Baltic/CEE fintech (or a CIS relocant), not yet in big-tech, "stuck" and ready for a status upgrade at low cost — we close the measured Data/Analytics gap (1 departed, 0 current, the vacancy opened 2×).
This is a measurable, not an assumed, gap. Per our data on the Brighty team (report №2), the "Data / Analytics" function = 0 current, 1 departed, 100% churn — the only analyst in the company's history left and wasn't replaced. The Data Analyst vacancy was opened twice in the hiring history (68 postings) — the need is recognized but structurally unfilled, as with MLRO and CISO. Growth, meanwhile, is NOT empty: Marketing/Growth = 3 current (0% churn), so the gap is specifically an analyst/data owner, not a head of growth; we position the role as a product/growth analyst who gives numbers to the teams. After the Series A round, investors demand unit economics, retention cohorts, CAC/LTV — without an analyst, B2C growth under the EU/EEA+CH geo gate runs blind. This is a role we help fill, not a sales lead.
A proven Senior/Lead Product (or Growth) Analyst, 5-8+ years, who has built analytics at a fintech/neobank/crypto nearly from scratch: event tracking, a single metrics layer (dbt), retention/cohort, CAC/LTV, A/B, and insights up to C-level. Can work as a "team of one" — critical for Brighty, where the function measurably was one person (1 departed, 0 current). Based in LT/LV or Dubai, where the team actually is (LT=13, AE=9, LV=2), or a CIS relocant in these hubs; RU+EN (team bloodlines — Revolut ×7, Monerchy ×8, Islamic Coin ×6, Sberbank ×3).
A fast-rising Middle Product/Growth Analyst, 2-4 years, past junior but not yet in big-tech or on a senior salary: strong SQL+Python, has started picking up dbt and product analytics in a fintech/crypto/marketplace team where they grew fast (junior→middle in <2 years — from position dates at a depth of 5-13). High ceiling, low cost, hungry for responsibility and direct access to C-level — which Brighty (a flat function, measurably one person) has in abundance.
