Key Responsibilities

  • Collect, clean, and analyze large structured and unstructured datasets from multiple sources.
  • Develop and implement machine learning models for fraud detection, risk scoring, identity verification, and compliance monitoring.
  • Conduct statistical analysis, feature engineering, and predictive modeling to extract insights and improve product performance.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to deploy models into production at scale.
  • Partner with product teams to design experiments (A / B testing) and evaluate feature effectiveness.
  • Research and implement state-of-the-art algorithms in AI / ML relevant to RegTech (e.g., anomaly detection, NLP, computer vision).
  • Monitor, evaluate, and continuously improve models for performance, fairness, and compliance.
  • Prepare clear documentation, dashboards, and reports to communicate findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Proficiency in Python, R, or Scala , with strong knowledge of libraries such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or similar.
  • Strong understanding of statistics, probability, and machine learning techniques (classification, clustering, NLP, anomaly detection).
  • Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases .
  • Knowledge of big data tools (Spark, Hadoop, or similar) is a plus.
  • Experience deploying ML models to production environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Hands-on experience with computer vision techniques (e.g., object detection, OCR, facial recognition, document image analysis).
  • Expertise in deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras) applied to image-based models.
  • Familiarity with image preprocessing techniques (augmentation, noise reduction, image normalization).
  • Understanding of explainable AI in computer vision for compliance-driven use cases.
  • Ability to translate complex image-based model outputs into product-ready solutions .
