• A strong product mindset with the ability to work independently in a cross-functional and cross-team environment
• Good communication skills and ability to get the point across to non-technical individuals
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to help refine problem statements and figure out how to solve them

Nice to haves:

• Familiarity with automating operational processes via technical solutions, for example Large Language Models
• Willingness to get hands dirty with operational side by sides to understand their pain points
• Knowledge and experience within the Financial Crime domain

What you'll be doing:

• AML Risk Detection System Development
  • Developing efficient and effective AML detection controls using a mixture of unsupervised, semi-supervised, and supervised learning with GenAI
  • Creating frameworks to prove controls coverage at a regional level
  • Developing technologies to serve Wise's diverse international user base
• Working in Cross-Functional Teams
  • Working across functions to own and solve AML related problems at a global scale
  • Mentoring more junior members of the team on technical and non-technical skillsets
• Performance Testing and Optimization
  • Evaluating our AML systems against internal and external benchmarks
  • Developing decisioning layers to find optimal trade-offs between precision and recall
  • Providing data-driven insights on potential outcomes under various scenarios
• Operational Process Development
  • Collaborating with operational teams to refine processes, ensuring effective feedback integration into our automation systems
  • Designing and managing projects that utilize excess operational capacity, such as manual data labeling for model improvement
  • Creating systems which provide in-depth insight to investigators on red flags and typologies present on profiles/transactions
• Deployment and Implementation
  • Packaging algorithms into deployable libraries/objects and transitioning them from staging to production environments
  • Implementing and maintaining scheduled processes for data gathering and model retraining using automated pipelines
  • Maintaining production-grade Python services

Perks and benefits:

• We're people without borders — without judgment or prejudice, too. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background.
• If you're passionate about learning new things and keen to join our mission, you'll fit right in.
• Qualifications aren't that important to us. If you've got great experience and you're great at articulating your thinking, we'd like to hear from you.
