We’re looking for a passionate and forward-thinking AI/ML Engineer to join our R&D team at IVIX, where we use cutting-edge AI to fight financial crimes .

In this role, you’ll focus on building and deploying advanced AI systems powered by large language models (LLMs), autonomous agents, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures. You’ll help us turn noisy, unstructured web data—social media posts, documents, business listings—into structured, high-confidence insights at scale. This is an opportunity to work with one of the most impactful AI stacks in production, solving hard real-world problems in a startup environment.
