If you believe AI and technology can be forces for good, and want to stop criminals laundering money and exploiting society, you’re in the right place.
At Themis, we combine expert knowledge with advanced tech to detect risk faster and protect what matters. Whether your passion is compliance, data, investigations, or design, your work here disrupts financial crime at scale.We’re an equal opportunities employer and always seeking passionate people ready to make a difference.
Financial crime is everywhere, from headlines to LinkedIn feeds and even Netflix documentaries. But what exactly is it, and how do tech and legal experts fight it?
At its core, financial crime involves illegal activities tied to money, financial markets, or services such as fraud, data misuse, money laundering, and terrorist financing.This wide-ranging challenge creates diverse, rewarding career opportunities. You might analyse complex trade finance flows, research illicit networks, or use advanced AI tools to uncover hidden risks, all while delivering clear insights to clients. Your work can make a real difference: educating those affected by fraud, helping organisations strengthen compliance, and shaping smarter strategies to close risk gaps. If you’re new to due diligence, it’s a critical skill to master. Whether vetting clients, partners, or investors, customer due diligence (CDD) and enhanced due diligence (EDD) help build a complete picture, revealing who people really are, where their wealth comes from, and whether any warning signs need closer investigation.
