Job Title: Technical Advisor – Synthetic Data for Compliance Testing

6-month contract

Remote, for the largest bank in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Job Description:

The ideal candidate will lead the development of AI-driven, privacy-preserving synthetic datasets that accurately simulate real-world financial transactions, embedding within them complex AML scenarios, fraud patterns, and emerging illicit finance risks. These synthetic environments will be used to benchmark transaction monitoring systems (TMS) and rigorously test compliance systems, processes, and personnel in real-world financial environments.

Responsibilities:

• Design and generate AI-driven synthetic financial datasets that accurately replicate real-world transactional behaviors, enabling realistic compliance stress testing.
• Embed structured AML typologies, financial crime red flags, and sophisticated money laundering patterns into synthetic transaction flows.
• Apply adversarial machine learning (AML-ML) to stress-test existing compliance detection algorithms, identifying blind spots and weak signals.
• Establish quantitative benchmarks for AML detection performance, measuring false positive/negative rates, detection lag, and operational efficiency.
• Develop scoring mechanisms for compliance system resilience, testing institutions’ ability to detect and react to synthetic AML threats.
• Conduct controlled regulatory stress tests to assess how well compliance teams and automated systems handle high-risk financial crime scenarios.
