We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.
You’re humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next.
As a Staff Data Scientist in the Risk Product Data Science team, you will be a technical leader responsible for advancing how Airwallex proactively identifies and mitigates financial crime risk.
You will work across customer, transaction, behavioral, network and external intelligence data to detect known and emerging risks, uncover suspicious communities and coordinated activity, and improve how we screen customers and counterparties for financial crime exposure.
A key part of the role is developing AI-powered risk detection capabilities, including name screening, entity resolution, network intelligence, and proactive discovery of previously unknown risk patterns.
You will partner closely with Risk Product, Engineering, Financial Crime Compliance and Risk Operations to translate complex risk problems into scalable, production-grade controls.
