Responsibilities
- Design and ship sequence-based, graph-based, and attention-based ML and deep-learning models for real-time financial crime detection.
- Define architecture strategy covering model families, training paradigms, serving patterns, and optimization decisions.
- Build reusable end-to-end patterns from experimentation and training through production deployment.
- Evaluate foundation-model and embedding approaches for transaction representation across financial-crime domains.
- Partner with Data Science on model evaluation, experimentation design, and causal measurement.
- Mentor engineers and data scientists on modern ML, production practices, and architectural decision-making.
Requirements
- Production experience shipping deep-learning models at scale under real-traffic and latency constraints.
- Ability to make and explain independent architecture-level decisions across model selection, training infrastructure, and serving strategy.
- Experience designing ML systems with hard latency and throughput requirements, including quantization, pre-computed embeddings, and batching strategies.
- Strong fundamentals in gradient dynamics, attention mechanisms, graph message-passing, and sequence modeling.
- Track record of influencing technical strategy across teams.
- Experience with Python, PyTorch or an equivalent framework, distributed training, and ML pipeline orchestration.
- Preferred experience includes financial crime, fraud detection, AML, regulated financial services, graph-based production methods, foundation-model fine-tuning, LLM evaluation, or establishing modern ML practices.
Benefits
- Starting salary of £145,000–£182,000 plus RSUs.
- Wise benefits package.
- Hybrid work arrangement, as indicated by the #LI-Hybrid designation.
