We combine deep expertise in data science, statistical modeling, AI/ML technologies, workflow automation, and systems integration with a practical understanding of complex corporate operations.\nWith particular depth in the financial services and banking sectors, we help our clients bridge the gap between complex data and actionable business strategy. We don't believe in \"off-the-shelf\" fixes-we build secure, scalable solutions that integrate seamlessly into enterprise architectures.\nThe Opportunity\nWe are seeking a Data Scientist with deep banking domain awareness to design, develop, and deploy robust statistical models and data-driven solutions for our premier regional clients.\nIn this role, you will work across Treasury, Wholesale Banking, and Corporate Lending divisions to build high-impact risk models, portfolio optimization frameworks, and regulatory capital solutions. Operating at the intersection of quantitative science and practical banking operations, you will translate complex financial challenges into precise, production-ready statistical solutions.\nWhat You’ll Do\n Build Advanced Risk Models: Design and implement statistical risk models for corporate lending, wholesale banking, liquidity management, and treasury operations-including Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), and Exposure at Default (EAD) architectures.\n Optimize Capital & Returns: Build analytical modules for Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC) and Risk-Adjusted Capital (RAC) optimization frameworks to help business lines maximize risk-adjusted returns.\n Ensure Regulatory Alignment: Apply Basel requirements (Basel III/IV), stress testing frameworks, and regulatory capital rules to guarantee all model designs conform to global and regional banking standards.\nDrive Engineering Excellence: Write clean, modular, and well-documented Python code while actively participating in peer code reviews to maintain high scientific and software engineering standards across engagement squads.\nCollaborate & Communicate: Partner closely with client risk officers, business analysts, and technical leads to decompose complex requirements, present quantitative findings, and defend model methodologies.\nAs an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.\nWhile technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight.\nWe're looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills.\nYou will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the \"why\" behind your technical decisions, and effectively \"selling\" your vision to high-level stakeholders.\nIf you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in.\nRequirements\nWhat We’re Looking For\nHands-on experience developing statistical risk models or quantitative frameworks within corporate banking, wholesale banking, or treasury environments.\nA strong theoretical and practical understanding of the quantitative, mathematical, and probabilistic concepts underlying ML and statistical tools-going beyond high-level library calls to understand the science behind them.\nStrong proficiency in Python and its scientific computing ecosystem (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Statsmodels, PyTorch/TensorFlow).\nSolid working knowledge of the Basel III/IV framework, regulatory capital calculations, and banking stress testing protocols.\nExcellent analytical problem-solving skills, rigorous attention to detail, and the ability to explain complex statistical trade-offs clearly to diverse technical and business audiences.\nA Bachelor's or Master's degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, Quantitative Finance, or a related quantitative discipline.\nWhat Gives You an Edge\nExperience running experiments and performing causal analysis for high-stakes financial decisions.\nFamiliarity with Transformers and sequence models for tasks like financial sentiment analysis and time-series forecasting.\nHands-on experience using PySpark, Spark, or Dask to process and train models on petabyte-scale enterprise data lakes.\nSkill in creating interactive data narratives and dashboards (e.g., Streamlit, Plotly) to communicate findings to executive audiences.\nBenefits\nThe benefits you'll enjoy as part of this role include:\n\nCompetitive salary\nComprehensive 'Gold Level' personal health insurance \nIndividual Visa Sponsorship\nProfessional development and certification support\nSubscription reimbursement relating to your role\nOpportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects\nMonthly Employee Incentive program\nCareer advancement opportunities in a rapidly growing AI company\nThis position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of AI implementation while working with a talented team of professionals at the forefront of technological innovation. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in driving our company's success in delivering transformative AI solutions to our clients.\nAt DeepLight AI, we recognise that diversity drives innovation. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where individuals with different thinking styles can thrive and contribute their unique strengths to our specialised AI and data solutions.\nOur goal is to ensure our application and interview process is accessible, predictable, and fair for all candidates.\nIf you require any specific adjustments to the application process, or if you require any reasonable adjustments should you be successful in being processed to the interview stage, please do let us know.
