More about our mission and what we offer.
We're looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to join our Global KYC & Onboarding squad within the FinCrime organisation.

This role sits directly between core engineering microservices and product analytics. While customer-facing systems fire dozens of raw operational events per verification flow, our analytics and machine learning teams require structured, clean, and reliable metrics to steer the business. You will own the data journey between these two worlds, transforming high-volume operational events into observable, audit-ready analytical datasets.

We don't hide away for two years to build a finished product; we ship iteratively, learn, and replace legacy components in place. You will ensure that as new platform capabilities go live, our data models, pipelines, and reporting layers scale seamlessly alongside them.
Your immediate impact will be to:
