We are on a growth journey and looking for colleagues to join us in our mission to build data science products to uncover and harness the value in our data and enhance decision-making at Danske Bank. As a Centre of Excellence, we deliver a positive societal impact with the help of data science, uncovering and preventing money laundering and other financial crimes, ensuring Danske Bank has a real-time data-driven understanding of the risks it takes on, and supporting academic research to further data science efforts within the financial sector.

Our department of 40+ employees masters the entire model life cycle, from model design to developing robust solutions in Python using best practises from software engineering, to maintenance and monitoring to ensure our models remain relevant and performant. To enable this, Super AI’s data engineering chapter stores, curates, and exposes big data. This is done in collaboration with other teams across the bank to understand the bank’s data value chain and the end-to-end journey of our big data.

We aim to build a culture that is open and collaborative, where team members come to work to have fun with colleagues while delivering impactful solutions for Danske Bank and society.
