Summary

Our client, a large financial services organization, is hiring a Senior Data Scientist (AML) for a 6-month contract in Toronto, ON (hybrid). You'll join a data science team focused on anti-money laundering (AML) transaction monitoring, building and tuning machine learning models with Python, PySpark, Databricks, Azure and SQL. The role may be extended or converted to permanent, depending on business needs and performance.

This is a senior, hands-on role with a lot of room to explore.

They're looking for someone who likes owning their work, brings their own ideas, and does their best work as part of a team.
