About Groundtruth AI

Groundtruth AI was founded in 2024 to provide services and solutions for AI detection in Economic Crime Prevention for Financial Services. We focus on detection and prevention of Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.

We exist to develop and deploy technologies that make a measurable difference in tackling financial crime. The billions of dollars stolen and laundered each year mask untold human suffering which we can help prevent.

We work with major tier 1 banks and major tech companies.

Your Role

We are looking for machine learning engineers to consult, build and deploy repeatable data and machine learning pipelines and AI solutions to our expanding portfolio of customers and into their cloud environments.

You’ll be involved and interested in the end-to-end delivery of systems. Exploring, understanding and processing data, designing and building pipelines, understanding model outputs and evaluating performance against defined objectives, and communicating these results. A proactive and driven approach to problem solving and solutionizing is key. You’ll also need good client facing skills and an ability to communicate complex technical ideas to varied audiences.

We are a small company, and you will have an opportunity to shape our solutions, direction and decision making. You will have a demonstrable track record of getting things done in environments where the objectives are sometimes ambiguous. You will be comfortable working with novel technologies and techniques as you go along, and owning a problem from end to end.
