Data Scientist

Defining how AI and finance work together — securely, intelligently, and at scale.
We at Unique AI are building a generative AI platform that financial institutions trust with high-stakes work: finance-grade in its reliability, auditability, and security. Banks, asset managers, and hedge funds use our platform to put LLM-based agents to work inside real workflows — investment research, client advisory, risk, and compliance. Our mission is to augment financial professionals, not replace them: AI takes on the repetitive and routine so people can spend their time on judgment, clients, and performance. We offer an inclusive environment at Unique and we encourage all genders and all neuro-diversities to apply.
