Responsibilities
• As a key technical partner for the customer, your team’s responsibilities will fall into three primary areas: • Product Passports • Product Passports (Government View): Define how governments consume and validate Altana Product Passports.

Build AI-driven targeting products that analyze the network—identifying shell companies, obfuscated ownership, and anomalous trade routes that indicate evasion or illicit trade. • Network-Based Targeting: • Enforcement Workflows: Design the "Investigator Workbench" used by officers to review and act on high-risk shipments. You will build the tools for evidence gathering and reporting. • Enforcement Workflows: • Prescreening: Own the product logic for identifying risky shipments to prevent them from getting close to the border, let alone entering the country. • Prescreening:
