Senior Data Scientist, Gen Ai

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.
This is Gen AI Our team's mission is to create a Generative AI platform at Adyen that supports various applications based on LLMs. This involves developing platform-oriented components for deploying an LLM backend within Adyen's GPU cluster in Kubernetes, with features like monitoring, access control, rate limiting, prompt debugging, and experiment tracking. We mainly use Open Source frameworks like HuggingFace and LangChain, and models like Llama or Mixtral. This involves developing platform components, but also delivering on some of the most promising use cases across different areas within the company. Through use cases like support case routing and sentiment analysis, they showcase AI's adaptability across different domains within the organization, revolutionizing workflows and decision-making processes.
