About the Role

We seek a hands-on, technically deep leader to own the Data
Science function across identity and compliance products. You
will set the technical vision, build and develop the team, and
drive production-grade AI systems from concept to deployment.

A key focus of this role is the development of agent-driven
systems that automate identity decisioning and compliance
workflows, alongside continued advancement of graph intelligence
and representation learning capabilities. This is a
high-ownership role.

What You'll Do

• Own the data science vision for identity and compliance

• Lead and grow a high-performing team of data scientists

• Architect and deploy ML systems across identity verification,
entity resolution, sanctions/watchlist screening, and compliance
risk modeling

• Drive graph-based intelligence, including graph neural
networks (GNNs)

• Design and implement agentic AI systems for automated
decisioning, case triage, and adaptive compliance workflows

What You Bring

• MS or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics,
Engineering, or a closely related field

• 10+ years in data science and machine learning

• A strong track record of production-grade AI systems at scale

• Deep domain experience in identity verification, KYC/AML,
sanctions/watchlist screening, fraud detection, or compliance
risk modeling in fintech or adjacent industries

• Proven leadership managing and scaling high-performing data
science teams

• Deep expertise in graph neural networks, entity resolution,
representation learning, and large-scale data systems

• Strong understanding of agentic system design

• Hands-on experience with GenAI

• Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks (e.g.,
PyTorch); graph ML frameworks a plus

• Hands-on experience with Apache Spark or equivalent
large-scale distributed data systems

What You'll Get

• Work on high-stakes, high-impact problems

• Build industry-defining systems combining graph intelligence
and autonomous agents

• Join dynamic, high-caliber team that values ownership and
innovation

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits
