One of our blue chip clients based in Brussels require a Data Scientist to join them initially till the end of 2024 with a view to a 12-month extension thereafter. See below for further information

Job Description

Develop and implement data science use cases, leveraging supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to identify business opportunities related to financial crime. Identify the data that are required, collect them, understand them and do the data preparation work (cleansing, enrichment, …) so they can be processed Implement predictive models to score and prioritize the alerts raised by the existing and future anomaly detection systems Develop anomaly detection algorithms using supervised and unsupervised machine learning models or any other relevant data analytics techniques such as Natural Language Processing or graph/network analysis Analyse how the actors of our ecosystem of counterparts (clients, agents, beneficial owners, …) interact using graph databases and network analytics techniques, and detect unsuspected and potentially risky relationships Iteratively improve the performance of the models in close collaboration with subject matter experts Design both static and interactive data visualizations to communicate, in a clear and impactful manner, the results of your work to stakeholders who may not necessarily have a strong background in data science

Tasks:

Re-calibration of NetReveal scenario parameters Perform quantitative analysis on improvements in our AML scenarios from NetReveal including Above-The-Line testing, avoiding overlapping alerts etc. Improving investigation tooling Working out strategy/roadmap to improve current investigation tooling for AML NetReveal alerts Develop “insight” dashboard Develop an insight dashboard to follow up on financial crime, market abuse, sanction circumvention etc. trends and KPIs from our core activities. TM Beyond: decreasing false positive alerts from NetReveal (Use Case 3) Supervised machine learning solution to decrease number of false positive alerts generated by NetReveal transaction monitoring system Automate closing of false positive hits from Norkom PoC on a solution to automatically close large volumes of false positives hits generated by our sanction screening process. In addition, this project includes other data initiatives to improve overall efficiency of the hit generation process.

Technical skills:

Master’s or doctoral degree in a quantitative field (, computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, physics, statistics). Minimum of 2 years of experience in developing machine learning models Strong programming skills in Python, SQL, and Spark. Expertise with Scikit-learn and Pandas libraries. Proficiency in data science techniques and know-how to use them in a business context

Bonus Points:

Experience in building data products from design to production. Any experience you have with any of the following will be a benefit: Power BI Hadoop ecosystem Git Proficiency in visualization libraries/tools (, Plotly/Dash/NetworkX). Familiarity with network analytics. Knowledge of compliance-related domain (sanctions, transaction monitoring, KYC, fraud detection, …) ideally in the financial industry. Previous exposure to generative AI and/or Natural Language Processing. Familiarity with cloud platforms, preferably Azure

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
