What you will need:

• Proficiency in AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, or H2O.ai.

• Deep understanding of model optimization techniques and machine learning algorithms like XGBoost, Random Forest, and deep learning architectures (RNN, CNN, LSTM).

• Strong programming skills in Python, R, Java, or Scala.

• Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases.

• Familiarity with data privacy and security regulations in the financial domain (e.g., GDPR, PCI DSS, SOX).

Added bonus if you have:

• Experience with Natural Language Processing (NLP) for financial documents and customer service automation.

• Knowledge of blockchain technologies and their application in AI/ML-driven solutions.

• Familiarity with Explainable AI (XAI) techniques to ensure transparency and accountability in decision-making processes.

• Experience in developing AI/ML-based credit scoring models, portfolio optimization, or algorithmic trading systems.

What we offer you:

• A work environment built on collaboration, flexibility and respect

• Competitive salary and attractive range of benefits designed to help support your lifestyle and wellbeing (including private healthcare, 27 days of vacation, work from home – 2 days a week, etc.)
