Data Associate responsible for labelling and annotating financial crime data to train and evaluate AI agents in a financial crime intelligence company.

Обязанности

• Own the labelling and annotation of financial crime data — KYB/KYC cases, screening hits, and transaction alerts — that powers the training and evaluation of our AI Agents.
• Become our internal source of ground truth — defining what "correct" looks like for agent decisions and holding every model release to that standard.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Compliance to turn real-world casework into structured datasets that measurably improve agent performance.
• Labelling & Annotation: Review and label KYB/KYC cases, sanctions, PEP and adverse media screening hits, and transaction monitoring alerts to create high-quality training and evaluation data.
• Agent Evaluation & QA: Grade AI Agent outputs against gold-standard answers, flag errors and inconsistencies, and track quality metrics across model releases.
• Guidelines & Taxonomy: Help define and refine labelling guidelines, decision taxonomies, and edge-case playbooks so that labels stay consistent as the team and dataset scale.
• Edge Case Discovery: Surface ambiguous, novel, or adversarial cases from live data and turn them into structured evaluation sets that stress-test our agents.
• Feedback Loop: Communicate patterns of agent errors to Engineering and Product, and help prioritise the data work that will most improve performance.
• Data Integrity: Keep datasets clean, versioned, and well-documented — ensuring auditability and handling sensitive customer data with rigour and care.

• Deliver Value Fast — Speed starts with clarity. We first understand what value actually means, for the customer, the business, or the system, and then take the shortest credible path to delivering it.
• Outcome Obsessed — We obsess over details and take full ownership of wider outcomes, not just tasks. If something falls short, we fix it properly and prevent recurrence, always raising the bar.
• Relentless Urgency — We move with urgency because time matters. We prioritise what truly moves the outcome, make decisions with imperfect information, and act decisively.
