The opportunity

Financial crime is constantly changing. New patterns and behaviours emerge all the time, and the data we work with is complex.

What you'll do

  • Own and evolve end-to-end batch training pipelines for transaction-monitoring models.

  • Build reliable software around the model lifecycle, including testing, CI/CD,: versioning, deployment, monitoring, and rollback.

  • Improve the maintainability, observability, and scalability of our model pipelines.

  • Partner with platform and software engineers to make model delivery repeatable and safe.

  • Build, maintain, and improve ML models for transaction monitoring, balancing: detection quality, operational efficiency, explainability, and regulatory expectations.

  • Engineer features that reflect AML and Fraud typologies and suspicious behaviours.

What they're looking for

  • Work with Risk investigators to translate domain knowledge into useful: signals, alerting logic, and calibrated thresholds.
  • Analyse the drivers of the AML Risk Score and recommend improvements to its features, logic, and thresholds.
  • Define and track meaningful model and operational metrics, including: detection performance, alert volumes, and investigator outcomes.
  • Monitor drift and model health, run back-testing, and investigate changes in performance.
