Who You Are
You are an experienced data engineer with a modern AI tooling perspective. You've built and managed large-scale ingestion pipelines from discovery through to performant products in high-stakes systems. You bring a data architecture mindset, and are focused on ontologies, frameworks, documentation, and unifying value across heterogeneous sources into knowledge graphs. You are familiar with investigative products built on open-source intelligence. You're comfortable managing complexity across both structured and unstructured pipelines, and you're genuinely curious about data: its provenance, its quality, and its ultimate value to customers. You have a responsible mindset and are familiar with the legal and compliance limits on data use.
You're also an engineer who codes with AI as a first-class tool, not an add-on. You pair traditional technical training with a forward-leaning approach to agentic coding, rapid prototyping, and multi-agent workflows. You move fast, iterate with stakeholders, and care about shipping things that work.
Who We Are
Quantifind helps some of the world's biggest banks catch money laundering and fraud. Quantifind also works with government agencies to use the same platform to uncover criminal networks and combat money laundering committed by internationally sanctioned entities. Unlike other players in this space, Quantifind delivers results as software-as-a-service (SaaS) with consumer-grade user experiences.
Quantifind is a data science technology company whose AI platform uncovers signals of risk across disparate and unstructured text sources. In financial crimes risk management, Quantifind's solution uniquely combines internal financial institution data with public domain data to assess risk in the context of Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Fraud Risk Management, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes. Today these compliance processes are burdened by ever-increasing regulatory responsibilities and an expectation of frictionless transactions. Legacy technologies demand increasingly more human resources as the operations expand; Quantifind's SaaS solution offers a way to cut through the inefficiency and enhance effectiveness simultaneously.
To help you succeed, we provide a supportive environment that fosters collaboration between teams and team members, where learning and professional growth are considered a key part of your success, and of ours. We offer a flexible work environment with a family friendly work-life balance.
