Careers

Small team. Real losses on the line. No dashboards nobody reads.

We're a Dubai-based team building infrastructure that banks trust with real risk decisions. That means high craft bar, direct customer contact for every engineer, and no tolerance for ML that can't explain itself.

Open roles

Five roles, all based in our Dubai HQ with flexible hybrid schedule.

ENG

Senior ML Engineer, Graph Systems

Own the Sleeper Graph Engine's core modeling — heterogeneous graph neural networks at portfolio scale. Experience with entity resolution or network fraud a strong plus.

ENG

Applied Scientist, Onboarding Forensics

Build and harden document forensics and liveness/deepfake-detection models against an adversary that adapts every quarter. Computer vision background required.

RISK

Model Risk & Compliance Analyst

Work alongside our VP of Compliance to keep every model's documentation trail exam-ready — SR 11-7 and OCC 2011-12 fluency required.

GTM

Enterprise Account Executive, Banking

Own relationships with fraud and risk leaders at regional and national banks. Prior fraud, risk, or core-banking vendor sales experience required.

CS

Implementation Engineer

Lead customer shadow deployments from kickoff to go-live — connecting Wakeful to core banking, LOS, and case management systems.

Direct customer exposure

Every engineer sits in customer calls. The model that misses a ring in production is everyone's problem, not just the fraud team's.

Equity that means something

Early-stage equity across every role, with a compensation philosophy that treats non-founding hires as owners, not employees.

Dubai, in person

We believe the best early-stage work happens in a room together. Hybrid schedule, DIFC office, relocation support available.
