Senior Data Scientist - Data

Tokyo, Japan

About Paidy Inc. 

We're Japan's leading "Buy Now, Pay Later" payments service with over 10 million customers. You can use Paidy to buy an iPhone at Apple on a monthly payment plan, it's a top payment method on Amazon Japan, and it's offered at thousands of other partner merchants to give Japan more choice for how to shop. That of course means we have lots of data about how Japanese consumers shop online as well as how they interact with our services like our App and web interface.

Data Department's story: we’re an 11-member team with data engineers and data scientists that has built a data platform from the ground up on AWS with Glue, Spark, EMR, and Prefect. We manage our own tooling for data science work with Sagemaker Notebooks and Looker. We build complete data science solutions to Paidy's business teams and service back-ends in the form of Looker dashboards, A/B test evaluation tools for marketing campaigns and App personalization, propensity score-based user segmentations, forecasts, and simulations. Data scientists in our department work with the same tools as data engineers and review and deploy SparkSQL or Scala-based ETL pipelines, Sagemaker ML Pipelines, and more to our production environment to ship their projects. 

We are fully remote but always collaborating, having internal huddles for a project, helping each other out on Slack, and meeting with product managers, marketing managers, and other business owners as collaborative partners.
