Senior Machine Learning Engineer

As a machine learning engineer in our team, you will be building advanced solutions to battle financial crime in a way that is fitting to our stakeholders: compliance experts at financial institutions, and financial regulators.

About us

The financial system is facing serious challenges. Banks and payment service providers are struggling to meet the requirements of regulators, and current Know Your Customer & Anti-Money Laundering solutions are falling short of needs. At the root of financial crime are felonies involving drugs, human trafficking, and terrorism.

AI and machine learning offer the promise to spot suspicious activity effectively. The team at Sentinels is building cutting-edge AI software products to help financial institutions meet pressing regulatory requirements, reduce false positives, maximise their customer experience, and fight financial crime. Because we operate in the financial domain, we consider explainability and interpretability to be very important, which translates to the solutions we build.
