AI / ML Platform Engineer

About Business Line/Function

The AMLIT function sits within theBNPParibas Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB) CEFStechnology ecosystem and provides endtoend technology platform that enables the bank's antimoneylaundering (AML) program. Its core purpose is to translate regulatory and compliance requirements into robust, scalable, and secure IT solutions that detect, investigate, and report suspicious activity across the Group's global operations.

The AMLIT business line is the technology backbone that transforms raw transaction data into actionable AML intelligence, ensuring that BNPParibas CIB meets its regulatory obligations while maintaining operational resilience and innovation.

Position Purpose

The role centers on creating nextgeneration AML capabilities and will be instrumental in protecting the BNPP Group from fraud, moneylaundering, and other financial crimes by using advanced technologies and innovative solutions.

As an AI-ML Platform Engineer, you will be responsible for turning advanced machinelearning research into productiongrade solutions that detect fraud, moneylaundering and other financialcrime typologies across the entire transactionmonitoring value chain. This position is vital for shaping the core detection capability of the platform. You would be the technical cornerstone linking graph analytics, LLMdriven reasoning, ML model outputs, reliable backend services and cloudnative infrastructure to deliver a unified nextgeneration AML detection platform.

While direct AML experience is not mandatory, a strong foundation in machine learning, sound engineering practices, and a willingness to learn the financial-crime domain are essential. Familiarity with regulated environments, model governance, or fraud and anomaly detection is an advantage, but we are primarily looking for engineers who can build robust, well-calibrated, production-grade models and reason carefully about their real-world impact. The role will operate within a globally distributed environment.

Direct Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a largescale knowledge graph (entities, transactions, ownership, sanctions, registries). Design ETL pipelines, entityresolution logic, and networklevel feature jobs for GNN models that score shell companies, detect circular flows, assess sanctions proximity and community risk.
• Create endtoend pipelines that convert regulatory/investigative text into vector embeddings, store them in a vector DB, and orchestrate LLMbased narrative generation, multiagent reasoning, and ondemand query answering. Manage LLM gateways, prompt engineering, cost tracking and fallback handling for uncertain alerts.
• Own the nonML microservices that make ML outputs actionable (Alert Service, Case Manager, API Gateway, tuning matrix, deduplication, Signal Aggregator, ruleengine integration, featurefactory APIs, model registry). Ensure highthroughput, lowlatency, eventdriven processing with Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis and Docker deployments.
• Apply rigorous softwareengineering practices (CI/CD, MLflow, automated testing, monitoring, model governance, audit logging) to keep models robust, calibrated, explainable and compliant.
• Manage the onprem Kubernetes ecosystem (multinamespace clusters, Helm, ArgoCD GitOps, resource quotas, GPU scheduling) and the full dataprocessing stack: Apache Spark/PySpark (batch&streaming), Flink/Kafka Streams, dbt incremental models, Terraform/Pulumi IaC, and observability (PrometheusGrafana, ELK). Handle node provisioning, container images (Docker, ECR/Harbor) and endtoend logging/monitoring/alerting.
• Collaborate with distributed datascience, compliance, investigation and platform teams to translate domain expertise into scalable, productionready AML solutions that continuously improve BNPP's riskmanagement posture.
  
  

Technical & Behavioral Competencies

Advanced MachineLearning Engineering: Design, train, and ship productiongrade models (GNNs, LLMs, RAG pipelines) that are wellcalibrated, explainable and meet strict AML governance requirements. Demonstrates a deep understanding of model lifecycle management, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement.

GraphData Mastery: Expertise in knowledgegraph modelling (Neo4j/Cypher or similar), graphETL at scale, and graphneuralnetwork frameworks (PyG, DGL). Able to engineer highthroughput networkfeature pipelines, optimize subgraph extraction (<200ms), and apply graph algorithms for risk scoring.

LLM & RetrievalAugmentedGeneration Proficiency: Handson experience with LangChain/LangGraph, prompt engineering, multiagent design, and vectordatabase ecosystems (Pinecone, pgvector, Weaviate). Capable of building robust RAG architectures, chunking, embedding, retrieval, reranking and integrating LLM gateways with costcontrol and fallback mechanisms.

Backend & Integration Engineering: Solid track record building highavailability microservices (FastAPI/Node.js), eventdriven pipelines (Kafka, Avro, Schema Registry), and ruleengine integrations (Drools or custom Python). Skilled at designing statemachines, deduplication engines, and APIgateway (Kong) configurations that expose ML outputs to downstream investigators.

CloudNative & DataPlatform Ops: Deep familiarity with onprem Kubernetes (multinamespace, Helm, ArgoCD GitOps), CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions), and observability stacks (PrometheusGrafana, ELK/Loki). Proficient in Spark/Delta Lake, Flink/Kafka Streams, Terraform/Pulumi, and Docker containerization, including GPU node provisioning and sandbox quota management.

DataEngineering Fundamentals & Governance: Adept at handling noisy, largevolume data: incremental ETL, schema evolution, ACID compliance, and featurestore patterns (Feast, Redis). Champions dataquality, lineage, auditability, and regulatory compliance throughout the pipeline.

Collaboration & Communication Excels in globally distributed, crossfunctional teams; translates complex ML concepts into actionable requirements for compliance officers, investigators, and business stakeholders. Communicates clearly in written and oral forms, writes comprehensive documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger, design specs), and mentors junior engineers.

ProblemSolving Mindset & Adaptability Approaches ambiguous AML typologies with curiosity and a systematic, datadriven methodology. Quickly learns new financialcrime domains, navigates regulated environments, and iterates on solutions under tight timelines while maintaining high quality and security standards.

Nice To Have Skills

• Experience with TigerGraph, Amazon Neptune, or JanusGraph for largescale network analytics.
• Familiarity with vLLM, LoRA/QLoRA finetuning, and serving models on GPU clusters behind the firewall.
• Expertise building multiagent systems, toolcalling patterns, and custom ChainofThought prompt libraries.
• Deep knowledge of AMLrelated standards (FATF, FinCEN, BSA, GDPR), SAR filing formats, and experience automating compliance documentation.
