Ripjar is a UK based software company that uses data and machine learning technologies to help companies and governments prevent financial crimes and terrorism. For example, our software was helping many financial institutions and corporations comply with sanctions on Russian entities. Ripjar originally span out from GCHQ and now has 130 staff based in Cheltenham and remotely and are beginning to expand globally. We have two successful, inter-related products; Labyrinth Screening and Labyrinth Intelligence. Labyrinth Screening allows companies to monitor their customers or suppliers for entities that they aren\u2019t allowed to or do not want to do business with (for ethical or environmental reasons). Labyrinth Intelligence empowers organisations to perform deep investigations into varied datasets to find interesting patterns and relationships. Data infuses everything Ripjar does. We work with a wide variety of datasets of all scales, including an always-growing archive of 8 billion news articles, sanctions and watchlist data, 250 million organisations and ownership data from global corporate registries.
Ripjar has several engineering teams that are responsible for the processing infrastructure and many of the analytics that collect, organise, enrich and distribute this data. Central to almost all of Ripjar\u2019s systems is the Data Collection Hub, which captures data from various sources, processes and analyses it, and then forwards it on to multiple end-user applications. The system is developed and maintained by 3 teams of software engineers, data engineers, and data scientists. We are looking for an individual with at least 2 years industrial or commercial experience in data processing systems to come in and add to this team. Ripjar values engineers who are thoughtful and thorough problem solvers who are able to learn new technologies, ideas and paradigms quickly.
