Job Description

At Returnly, we help brands that care about shopper loyalty offer better product returns. We are a financial technology services company that builds award-winning products that drive repurchase behavior and customer loyalty. We were backed at the beginning by smart money VCs in Fintech including some prominent members of the Paypal Mafia. Our headquarters are in San Francisco and we have offices in Chicago and Madrid. We are on a mission to de-risk online commerce and are building a team of amazingly talented people to help us do it.

Returnly has recently been acquired by Affirm, whose mission is to deliver honest financial products that improve lives. By building a new kind of payment network — one based on trust, transparency, and putting people first — Affirm empowers millions of consumers to spend and save responsibly and gives thousands of businesses the tools to fuel growth.

Product at Returnly


The product team at Returnly works to develop both merchant and shopper experiences, build best-in-class user experiences, and lead integrations with industry-leading e-commerce platforms. As a member of the team focusing on our Data Science Platform, you will play an important role in defining and executing the vision for Returnly’s Data Science capabilities that power our internal and external data products. We’re looking for someone with a strong background in Data Science and the ability to identify opportunities where data can be leveraged and play a key strategic role.

What do we offer?


Remoteness
We already had a healthy WFH culture before Covid-19 came so when it happened, we just switched to everyday WFH. However, we would prefer it if you live in or near Madrid so when we open the office again it won’t be a problem for you to enjoy it.

Schedule
We have a very flexible approach to working hours. You can stop going to the gym, getting your little ones to or from school, meditating, or doing whatever you need or want. There is a need for a certain amount of overlap with Pacific Coast working hours needed for meetings and collaboration that does not fit into asynchronous communications, however we try to prioritize those, and your main collaborators are based in Spain. A lot of people at Returnly have families, we understand the sometimes unpredictable nature of life and we support everyone taking care of their loved ones and themselves, and we trust everyone to take advantage of this flexibility in a responsible way.

Equipment
You will be provided with an Apple laptop and whatever you need to do your job comfortably and productively. As we are now unable to enjoy our awesome offices, special provisions to help you set up at home will be addressed.

Benefits
Additionally, Returnly offers some benefits to all its employees, like private medical insurance, extra vacation days, team lunches, etc. Employees are eligible for extra benefits related to health & wellness and home utilities reimbursement. Every employee has an amount to setup home for working remotely.

Growth
We do performance and compensation reviews, and we will try to help you become your better self, be it via mentoring, training, feedback or the possibility to dab on fields where you are not yet an expert.
