Role
Who you are
- People Leadership: 2+ years of experience in people management, with a proven ability to build, maintain, and constructively coach high-performance engineering teams
- Domain Expertise: Experience working in the FinTech domain with exposure to Issuing and/or Banking. Alternatively, experience managing the technical delivery of a highly critical, global, product at scale
- Technical Depth: You possess a high technical bar and in-depth knowledge of how to build and scale a world-class, API-based financial service. You should be comfortable discussing and challenging decisions made by Senior+ engineers, and working with our tech stack: Java, Postgres, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, Elastic
- Execution Mindset: Strong execution skills are paramount. This includes effective communication, stakeholder management (internal and external), and leveraging strategic thinking to solve problems and get things done
- Collaboration & Influence: Proven ability to lead complex projects involving multiple teams and external partners (e.g., bank rails, third-party vendors such as Zelle and Plaid), demonstrating strong influencing and strategic thinking skills
- Customer Care: you deeply care about the customers experience and take pride in your and your team’s work that delivers a delightful experience
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team in our Issuing organization. The Issuing organization enables businesses to monetize spend by providing fast, secure, and efficient payment solutions through digital and physical card issuance
- This is a complex and rapidly evolving offering, giving you the opportunity to influence the vision and strategy, and own the roadmap from the ground up seeing it through from early build to scaled adoption
- As an engineering leader, you’ll work closely with partners across engineering, product, commercial, and operations to deliver a best-in-class issuing product that serves both enterprise clients and embedded finance partners
- This Chicago-based role is part of the broader Financial Services product organization, which owns the full suite of financial products we offer to our customers
- Drive the Roadmap: Develop and execute the technical roadmap for establishing an issuing program construct, able to support the continued expansion of Adyen’s issued card product suite, and translating ambitious business goals into world-class technical reality
- Build a team: Establish a new engineering team from the ground up, hiring and shaping the team as required to build a best-in-class engineering culture
- Technical Authority and Excellence: Act as a technical leader and domain expert for the banking product, challenging and driving technical design and solutions to ensure an exceptionally high technical bar. You will be the point person for product technical decisions, speaking for the product across the organization and, occasionally, to clients
- People & Performance: Coach, mentor, and build a high-performing team of engineers. You will be responsible for continuous performance management, professional development, and maintaining a culture of rapid, top-notch execution
- Execution & Ownership: Work closely with Product Managers to manage project timelines while proactively addressing technical debt, and enforcing best engineering practices. You are a driver, not an executor, focused on strategic, quality delivery
- Client & Product Focus: Maintain a strong product mindset, deeply understanding our clients' needs, banking industry, and the broader market landscape. You will propose new features and collaboratively shape the future direction of the product
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 €7 billion, it raised over €1 billion and its share price popped on the first day, resulting in a valuation of €14 billion. And its valuation has continued to climb in the years since.
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 interested businesses to choose and then implement online payments - without the usual hoops to step through. Notable partners have included Autocanteen, a touchless self-checkout solution for the hospitality industry, and BILL, a small business-focused fintech platform.
