What the job involves

- A full-stack team of Frontend and Backend engineers who like to balance robust design with lean development, by validating concepts with minimal effort and then being able to shift to highly reliable systems
- Building and maintaining a large data tech stack (PostgreSQL, Kafka, Elasticsearch) that underpins products like API Logs and the Developer Dashboard to deliver near-real time insights. Additionally, collaborating closely with the data engineering team to surface performance trends and contextualized guidance
- Working with various teams across the organization to deliver a seamless and consistent integration experience for customers

- Contribute to the team’s ideas, and bring your own point of view on engineering best practices
- Identify and improve parts of the platform to make it more robust and scalable

Our take
Adyen has been one of the most successful businesses in Europe over the last decade. When it went public in 2018 at a valuation of €7bn, it raised over €1bn and its share price popped on the first day, resulting in a valuation of €14bn. Its valuation has continued to climb by the billions.
Adyen competes with large players like PayPal, as well as outsized startups like Stripe, to power payments and provide other infrastructure to conduct digital transactions. Disrupters in the field have been buoyed by a strong rise in eCommerce activity, where some or all of a transaction by a customer is made either online or by mobile.
Adyen has been one of the companies riding the wave by helping to reduce the friction between a company choosing to take payments online, and actually being able to do it. That can take multiple steps and agreements across numerous countries — Adyen’s pitch is that it essentially handles all of it in the backend as a service for its users. Notable partners have included Autocanteen, a touchless self-checkout solution for the hospitality industry, and BILL, a small business-focused fintech platform.
