Cheltenham, United Kingdom Ripjar Full time

At Ripjar, we help governments and organisations automate the detection, investigation, and monitoring of threats from criminal activity.

Ripjar originally spun out from GCHQ and now has 140 staff based across Cheltenham, Bristol, London and Canberra, as well as a smaller presence in the USA and Singapore. 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't 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 10 billion news articles in (nearly) every language in the world going back over 30 years, sanctions and watchlist data provided by governments, plus 250 million organisations and ownership data from global corporate registries.

This is a great time to join a growing group of highly talented technologists and data scientists who are building products that solve real-world issues and are changing the way criminal activities are detected and prevented.

  • AI Risk Profiles - Whitepaper - Entity Resolution across tens of millions of news articles
  • Profile Summaries (generated using LLMs) - Using LLMs to summarise news articles linking an entity to financial crime (or other similar risks)
Key Tasks:
