• Develop NLP pipelines working with unstructured and semi-structured text data - entity and claim extraction, classification, deduplication, and enrichment feeding downstream risk models.
• Case management, report generation, and intelligence portal supporting data systems.
• Partner with the Head of R&D, engineers, data scientists, and our investigations team to translate intelligence requirements into scalable client-facing products.
• Contribute to technical design and architecture in a written, argued design process.
• Support improving system data quality and system maintenance: versioning, validation, lineage, reconciliation, and freshness monitoring.

What We Require:

• 3+ years of professional experience developing backend services with Golang

• Experience with REST APIs and/or gRPC
• Experience working in AWS environments
