hn · Madrid (ONSITE 60%) incl. relocation within Europe if necessary
Jose has strong foundational AI/ML expertise with LangChain, LangGraph, and model fine-tuning, plus proven ability to ship end-to-end AI products at scale with real-time constraints. However, his background is primarily in consumer/education AI and developer platforms rather than FinTech or payments infrastructure, and there's no evidence of domain expertise in fraud detection, risk systems, or high-throughput transaction processing that Adyen's scale demands. His hands-on building mindset and autonomous ownership are excellent fits, but the FinTech domain gap and lack of experience with regulatory/compliance considerations in payments are notable gaps.
Hook: Your track record building AI agents and real-time systems under extreme reliability constraints aligns well with Adyen's need for hands-on AI research ownership, though you'd bring fresh perspectives from outside traditional payments.
Missing: FinTech/payments domain expertise, fraud detection and risk modeling, high-frequency transaction processing systems, regulatory compliance and AML/KYC experience, European market knowledge
