Senior Applied AI ML Engineer

We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you to take your software engineering career to the next level. We are building a next generation, AI-driven Global Financial Crimes Strategic Monitoring solutions that detects AML risk, regulatory violations, transactions risk, misconduct, and behavioral anomalies.
As a Senior MLE on the team, you will design, build and productionize Risk typologies/ features, data pipelines, supervised and unsupervised ML models, and LLM risk explainability that operate at scale across high-volume banking transactions. You will work at the intersection of Risk modeling, and NLP architectures, inference systems, regulatory explainability and auditability. This is a hands-on senior role requiring deep expertise in ML operations, LLM integration, scalable ML systems and production grade engineering discipline. This role offers a chance to collaborate with product managers, architects, data science and operational teams, while also engaging in software engineering communities to explore new and emerging technologies.
