Blue collar Jobs in Crowsnest Pass, AB

If you are interested in the application of machine learning and signal processing for real-time fraud detection this is the right opportunity for you. You will be part of a team of research and machine learning scientists building production-ready fraud detection systems from the ground up and will receive mentorship from experienced researchers and practitioners in the field. - Mara Cairo Product Owner Advanced Technology

Description

About the Role

This is a paid residency that will be undertaken over a 12-month period with the intention to be hired by our client Blue Raven afterwards (note : at the discretion of the client). The Resident will report to an Amii Scientist and regularly consult with the client team to share insights and engage in knowledge transfer activities. Successful candidates will be members of a cross-functional project team with backgrounds in ML research project management software engineering and new product development. This is a rare opportunity to be mentored by world-class scientists and to develop something truly impactful.

About the Client

Blue Raven is a well-funded Canadian startup operating in stealth mode and focused on applying advanced AI techniques to the detection and prevention of financial fraud. The company is building an AI-native platform designed to operate in real-time with a strong emphasis on accuracy reliability and continuous learning. Blue Raven has validated market demand and developed a working proof of concept and is now transitioning from early technical validation to scaled product development. The team is intentionally small highly technical and focused on building durable IP at the intersection of applied machine learning and real-world fraud prevention.

Blue Ravens founding team has a track record of building successful startups from the ground up. Brian Heath a 3-time founder with

multiple successful exits and 13 patents brings deep expertise in building products that scale. Rob Fraser our technical leader brings 26 years of hands-on development experience and over a decade of engineering leadership.

About the Project

This project focuses on advancing an AI-driven financial fraud detection system by transforming an existing decision-management framework into a continuously learning model. The work emphasizes improving classification accuracy reducing false positives and false negatives and designing learning algorithms that adapt over time with human oversight. The project will involve assessing and prioritizing AI modeling opportunities improving data labeling and evaluation practices and documenting scalable approaches to learning-based fraud detection across audio and text modalities. The outcome is a robust production-oriented learning system that balances accuracy performance and reliability while remaining adaptable to evolving fraud patterns.

Required Skills / Expertise

Are you passionate about building great solutions Youll be presented with opportunities to both personally and professionally develop as you build your career. Were looking for a talented and enthusiastic individual with a solid background in machine learning particularly in building systems that combine audio signals and text transcripts to detect fraud in real time. You will help extend an existing fraud detection system by implementing agentic workflows improving false-positive evaluation and mitigation and enabling the system to learn over time with human oversight.

Key Responsibilities :

• Design implement optimize and evaluate models for real-time fraud detection using audio and text data.
• Prepare curate and preprocess high-quality datasets for training or fine-tuning and validating models.
• Utilize state-of-the-art machine learning techniques and ML frameworks tools and open-source libraries to enhance model performance accelerate workflows and optimize data processing.
• Undertake applied research on ML and audio processing techniques to address the limitations in existing models.
• Optimize ML pipelines to ensure efficiency scalability and real-time processing capabilities.
• Collaborate with the project team and stakeholders to develop MVP and client focused solutions.
• Engage in regular client meetings contributing to presentations and reports on project progress.
