Job Description

Adyen is looking for a Data Scientist to join our team in Madrid, to jump into any problem and analyze, forecast, detect patterns and draw insights by leveraging data science algorithms and the big data platform, and thus enable teams to go beyond.

You will be responsible for building and interpreting algorithms that power data products at Adyen. In this role, you will:

• Obtain insights by leveraging machine learning algorithms. Examples are:
  • Anti-Money Laundering (AML) systems.
  • Real-time anomaly detection based on time-series modeling.
  • On-line learning algorithms to pick the best optimization decision in a changing environment.
  • Clustering algorithms to group customers/shoppers.
  • Supervised and semi-supervised learning methods for inference on risk patterns
  • Graph analysis and representation learning for behavior prediction and monitoring.
• Develop orchestrated pipelines for analytical purposes and machine learning training.
• Iterate with merchants and product audiences creating algorithms that power state of the art machine learning based solutions, and be able to explain the reasons behind the executed inference.
• Setup and run experiments to validate hypotheses.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest research and developments in the machine learning field, and apply this where applicable.

Who you are

• You have experience developing, training, validating, benchmarking and monitoring machine learning algorithms.
• You have experience leveraging a big data framework to create the pipelines needed to feed the models with appropriate data.
• You approach problems with a statistical mindset, keeping inference as a product of data science. Experience with statistical testing (confidence, p-value, A/B testing, Bayesian) is a plus.
• You can communicate complex outcomes with clarity over a wide range of audiences.
• Technologies: Extensive knowledge of data science and statistics techniques, toolsets and algorithms, such as e.g. Spark, Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, XGBoost, Pandas, Airflow, SQL
• Mentality: An experimental mindset with a launch fast and iterate mentality. A strong statistics/mathematics background is a plus.
