Data Scientist

Imagine catching criminals before they strike—that’s exactly what Napier’s AI-powered platform does! By analysing transactions and customers in real time, Napier AI’s technology empowers financial institutions to spot suspicious activity, like money laundering, and stops it in its tracks. 

  

Napier AI’s technology works like a digital detective, combining AI with smart analytics to outthink criminals and protect people’s money from becoming criminal proceeds. It’s not just about stopping crime—it’s about making the financial world safer and more trustworthy for everyone. 

 

Collaboration, innovation and wonderful people are just some of the reasons to bring your career to Napier. Our culture is shaped by our core values that promote equality, creativity, and opportunity in everything we do.  

After successfully securing PI investment to fuel our ongoing growth and to further invest in our AI products, we are currently building out our Tech Hub in Belfast - this is a super exciting time to join Napier in Belfast as we expand.

 

You will already be an experienced data scientist, with a STEM background who has created novel AI solutions to complex problems. You will have experience in Python development / prototyping including pandas, numpy, sklearn, tensorflow, pytorch, pyspark and you will have engaged with clients to understand their data and requirements.  In addition, you will have an in-depth understanding of Machine learning (supervised and unsupervised learning, classification, clustering) and explainability techniques.

Working with the Chief Data Scientist, data science team, other teams within Napier and Clients, you will install and tune existing AML models and develop new ones (supervised and unsupervised) to solve emerging problems in the anti-money laundering landscape.  Collaborating with clients, you will help them to improve efficiencies in their compliance processes, reduce false positives and false negatives in their risk identification processes by analysing their data and highlighting risks from automated analysis.  You will also build prototypes aimed at ingesting clients’ data and running machine learning models.  You will actively work with product and development teams to continuously build Napier’s platform.
