About Tradeshift
Tradeshift is a unicorn in the fintech industry. We are disrupting a typically stagnant environment by connecting companies of all sizes and providing them with the platform and network needed to create value from old processes like procurement, invoicing, payments, and workflow. We recognize that business is both messy and social - two revelations that have driven the development of Tradeshift, a platform for all your business interactions. We work hard and our teams have great freedom and responsibility to choose the best solutions, technologies and approaches to evolve the product to the next level.

We believe that being a global, multicultural company is a tremendous strength and we have people working from 18 different countries with hubs in Bucharest, Copenhagen, Kuala Lumpur, and San Francisco. We believe that if we truly focus on how to work distributed and collaborate across locations and (home) offices, we will not only enjoy work more but also build better products for our customers, and ultimately be a better company.

About The Team
In the Tradeshift Data and Machine Learning team we provide solutions and services to enable, scale and automate all five key products in the Tradeshift suite, using the world’s largest business network and a distributed, microservice based, cloud native system.

Our Copenhagen based team builds the data pipelines that drive both internal and customer-facing analyses, reports, and artificial intelligence. We build and maintain several backend microservices and a small set of front end applications. Our insights and algorithms feed directly into products; they also act as the bridge between our products. For instance, machine learning models identify and correct inconsistencies found in data that we are receiving from customers. Robust, fast, and accurate data pipelines are the backbone of this critical work.
