Optimize Intelligence at Adyen is a specialized team of Machine Learning Scientists and Data Analysts focused on maximizing transaction success, minimizing transaction costs, and driving payment performance at a global scale. We build and scale advanced ML/DL solutions that operate over massive, complex decision spaces, determining the optimal path for every single transaction in real time. Our systems evaluate high-dimensional data streams to dynamically select the optimal authentication methods, apply smart payment message optimizations, and orchestrate intelligent transaction routing.
Our models live-score millions of daily transactions, balancing coupled cost and performance objectives simultaneously.
If you are passionate about solving intricate combinatorial challenges and pushing the boundaries of adaptive decision-making systems, join us in shaping the future of payments.
We are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Scientist to help build the machine learning capabilities behind Adyen’s Identity Platform.
Adyen processes payments and financial events at global scale. To prevent fraud and financial crime effectively, we need to understand likely entities and relevant behavioural patterns across events, while maintaining a high bar for privacy, governance, reliability, and explainability. The Identity Platform develops shared capabilities that help Adyen understand which events and identifiers may belong to the same underlying person or actor. These capabilities serve multiple downstream teams and use cases, including real-time fraud prevention, AML detection, investigations, and future risk products.
You will help design and build the ML systems that make this possible. This includes applied modelling, large-scale data processing, low-latency serving, clear interfaces for downstream consumers, and the operational controls required for a platform used across teams.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will influence long-term technical direction while remaining close to implementation, experimentation, and production systems.
This is Adyen
Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft - making us the financial technology platform of choice. At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition.
For our teams, we create an environment with opportunities for our people to succeed, backed by the culture and support to ensure they are enabled to truly own their careers. We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster.
