    Citi Compliance Technology Services is looking for additions to their team to advance strategic innovative programs that are based on machine learning and behavior analytic principles with a goal of replacing legacy rules-based detection approaches in the areas of Global E-Communication and Voice Surveillance/Review. The program needs to onboard data scientists who will develop machine learning models and algorithmic solutions that will identify and rank the bank’s actors and other entities with respect to their resemblance to certain risky or undesired behaviors.

    As a data scientist you would have the opportunity to take a significant part in driving data-intelligence projects with high business impact and visibility within Citi organizations. The key expectation of the candidates is that they will be able to deliver comprehensive solutions using machine learning systems that analyze huge volumes of electronic communication such as emails and chats.
