Machine Learning Scientist

Adyen is looking for a Machine Learning Scientist to join our team in Amsterdam, a person sitting at the cornerstone of algorithms, mathematics, and engineering, who can solve problems by designing and implementing production-ready machine learning solutions. You will be responsible for building, developing and deploying algorithms that power data products at Adyen. 

Teams Currently Hiring:

• Optimise

• Protect

• Identity

• Regulatory Reporting Technology 

In this role, you will: 

• Research, design, implement, train, deploy and monitor machine learning algorithms, either for batch prediction or real-time. Examples include: 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 or graph analysis, representation learning for behavior prediction and monitoring, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) systems and real-time anomaly detection based on time-series modeling;

• Develop orchestrated pipelines for analytical purposes and machine learning training;

• Contribute to ongoing automation efforts for our experiments, training runs, validation runs and monitoring before, during and after deployment. Furthermore, collaborate with MLOps to improve our machine learning tooling;

• Collaborate closely with product managers and business stakeholders to understand requirements, define problems, and frame them as solvable machine learning tasks;

• Explore and analyze large, complex datasets to identify patterns, insights, and opportunities for ML-driven solutions;

• Define key performance metrics, design rigorous experiments (e.g., A/B tests), and perform statistical analysis to validate model performance and quantify business impact;

Who you are:

• You have 3+ years of experience as a machine learning or data scientist;

• You have experience with the full machine learning model lifecycle in production flows;

• You have experience leveraging a big data framework to create the pipelines needed to feed the models with appropriate data;

• You have a good understanding of software engineering practices as well as data engineering and MLOps principles;

• You have knowledge of data science and statistics a
