You’ll own the full lifecycle of our algorithms, shaping everything from the initial concept to production-ready code that powers our global payment network.

At GoCardless, our stack is centered around Google Cloud Platform and Vertex AI, providing a high-performance environment for innovation. Our Data Scientists operate at the intersection of Python, SQL, and BigQuery to build and deploy high-performance models at scale.

What you’ll do

• Manage and mentor a high-performing team of Data Scientists, fostering a culture of technical excellence and supporting their long-term career development.
• Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of mission-critical ML models that power real-time payment decisions.
• Shape the strategic roadmap for the Payment Intelligence space, translating complex data challenges into actionable, high-impact goals.
• Drive cross-functional impact by working closely across disciplines to build end-to-end technical solutions, from concept to production.
• Influence Senior Leadership by acting as the bridge between technical complexity and business value, communicating ML strategy to senior stakeholders.

What excites you

• Driving cutting-edge advancements in Data, AI, and Machine Learning within the payments space with a multidisciplinary team.
• Mentoring a high-performing team and fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Solving the complex, real-time challenges of fraud prevention and payment optimisation at scale.
• Building production-grade ML models on a streamlined GCP and Vertex AI stack to drive fintech innovation.

What excites us

• 2+ years managing Data Scientists within complex, high-stakes domains.
• A hands-on leader comfortable diving into the codebase. You bring strong expertise in Python and SQL to oversee the full lifecycle of a model, from initial prototype to robust production deployment.
• A decisive collaborator who can navigate technical trade-offs and translate complex ML concepts for cross-functional stakeholders and leadership.
• Familiarity with complex data environments and model architectures, such as deep learning (experience in Fintech, Fraud Prevention, or Payments is a big plus).
