We want to bet our entire company on AI/ML. We believe it’s the future. Perhaps, the AI is the only way we can compete on this tough market of Financial Technology.

Currently, if we want to scale the number of payments we do, we have to hire more data analysts and compliance monitoring specialists. For example, if we want to increase the number of payments we do by the factor of x100 then we have to hire few hundred more people to do just this one task - repetitive analysis of payment trends. Instead of hiring hundreds of employees we better hire few AI/ML specialists who would automate as much as possible of that compliance workflow.

How exactly it should be done? We don’t know. You tell us.

What tools, languages, or tech to use we also do not know. You will tell us. Moreover, you will do all that; from design to production deployment, from data cleansing to model learning.

You will be the leader of this AI/ML/DS direction with the prospect of recruiting your own team.

We are an Australian company. But our IT are mostly Ukrainians. Including the CTO (who wrote this text).

Requirements:

* A lot of interest, enthusiasm and excitement in AI/ML
* Continuous self-education all things ML
* English skill (as much as you can)
* Ukrainian skill (mandatory) 
* Understanding how to build ML
* Skills to extract data from a DB, cleanse it, etc
* Understand the difference between DNS, IP, IP address, DevOps, MLOps, and other IT terms
* Age: from 18 to 142 (yeah, we really do not care how old you are, but care about how ambitious you are)

You work at your own schedule. But we have couple of weekly all-hands catchups in Kyiv mornings, Australian evenings. Obviously, the work is fully remote. You pay your taxes yourself.

We are a successful self-funded FinTech startup. We do not do Scrum Sprints. Heck, we do not do Scrum at all. Instead, **we run the marathon**. Because people get tired after every sprint, we don’t want that. We want you to run at your own pace, stable, steady, healthy, sane and continuously productive. Mental health is high on our list of priorities. Scrum squeezes you too much. **Fuck Scrum**.

Another unique trait we have - salaries of all employees are open within the company. You will know how much the rest of the staff earn. This decreases pay gap inequality, improves retention, collaboration, etc.

We are proud of the fact that out of 21 people not a single permanent employee have ever left the company. The company is 6 years old, but so far we have 100% retention rate. Because we care about you.
