Research Scientist - Financial Inclusion at Scale at M-KOPA

What You'll Do

• Build generative AI models (VAEs, GANs, diffusion models) for financial inclusion across Africa
• Prototype and iterate advanced models, from credit risk assessment to customer behaviour modeling
• Publish research at top conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI etc) while solving real-world problems
• Work with teams across Africa and Europe to deploy Machine Learning solutions that expand financial access

What You Need

• Hands-on experience or Academic Publication in generative models (VAEs, GANs, diffusion models, or related methods)
• Advanced expertise in mathematics, statistics, and theoretical computer science
• Experience with deep learning, reinforcement learning, or specialised Machine Learning domains
• Experience with structured or unstructured data
• Proven ability to translate research into scalable algorithms
• Ideally a publication record in Machine Learning research (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI etc preferred)
