About the Role

Our GoPay Data Science team is a group of over 15 team members based across Singapore, India and Indonesia. Our role is to build critical ML components/models into the engineering systems to ensure GoPay remains a safe, trusted, and seamless way to conduct payments in Southeast Asia and beyond. Our team members come from varied backgrounds, and bring with them a wide set of skills and expertise (mathematics, statistics, machine learning, structured learning, among others) which we utilize to solve the complex business problems we're presented. We are enthusiastic about data science techniques and methods, as well as the business impacts of our models, and have numerous team forums where lively sharing discussions and presentations occur.

When we aren’t working, you’d probably find us whipping up new recipes in the kitchen, reading up on the latest best sellers, or trying to survive a brutal YouTube HIIT workout at home. We focus on nurturing and supporting one another both personally and professionally, and work together to get the job done.
