You and Your Job

Preventing Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing is one of the key aspects for our society and our organization, and as a bank, we play a major role in this field. Within Rabobank, we have built a data-driven solution that analyzes more than 11 million transactions per day to detect customers who launder money or finance terrorists. As behavioral patterns of criminals constantly evolve, our solution needs to adapt and evolve just as quickly.

To keep our solution flexible and stable, we need smart individuals like yourself who are passionate about building and improving our current Transaction Monitoring (TM) solution. One of the improvements we have identified for our solution is the introduction of more advanced analytics methodologies such as Machine Learning into our TM models.

This way, you make sure Rabobank will be able to effectively fight financial crime!

• Analyze source and output data to build knowledge and detect potential data-related problems.
• Anticipate potential future challenges of current infrastructure (e.g., performance issues) and, together with the team, design and implement solutions for these challenges.
• Test and monitor the performance of the TM solution.
• Build a Machine Learning platform and orchestrate the workflow of different models (ML Ops).
• Align with platform teams who orchestrate your code in Airflow/Databricks/Azure

Top 3 Responsibilities

• Carry responsibility for (large parts of) the data and infrastructure of our TM solution, including infrastructure designs, good quality code, and supporting your medior and junior colleagues to use best practices and follow the same way of working across the entire team.
• Lead alignment with adjacent fields (IT, Architecture, Data Science) to realize optimal performance of our data science model(s).
