Role
Who you are
- Python or Java Expert: 8+ years of experience with object-oriented programming
- Collaborative Enabler: A strong communicator who thrives on building bridges between the teams you enable (analysts, data scientists) and the teams you depend on (infrastructure, security)
- Distributed Systems Architect: Proven experience developing and maintaining:
- Distributed compute/data systems (e.g., Spark, Trino, Druid, ClickHouse)
- Real-time and batch pipelines (Kafka, Spark Streaming) with a focus on user-friendliness and reliability
- Studies show that women and members of underrepresented communities apply for jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Does this sound like you? If so, Adyen encourages you to reconsider and apply. We look forward to your application!
What the job involves
- You’ll collaborate with data engineers and ML scientists and engineers to build and roll-out these tools. Along with DataOps Engineers, you’ll develop and operate multiple big data platforms, of which the biggest is 500+ nodes, with 25k+ CPU cores, 240+ TBs of RAM, and 23+ PBs of storage capacity, running tens of thousands of spark jobs a day
- We are currently expanding our platform capabilities. Depending on your expertise, your immediate focus will be driving one of these two key ecosystems:
- The OLAP Ecosystem: Scaling and optimizing our real-time analytical powerhouses (Druid, FastAPI, Java, Kafka)
- The Data Engineering Ecosystem: Designing and building data contracts, validation frameworks, optimization tooling, and robust Kafka ingestion pipelines
- You will balance building innovative new tools from scratch with relentlessly improving our existing infrastructure. This role is a perfect fit if you are passionate about:
- Scale: Developing and maintaining high-performance, distributed big data platforms
- Distributed Systems: Working deeply with various flavors of databases, filesystems, and compute engines
- Data Quality & Discoverability: Building tools that enhance metadata collection, data lineage, and platform-wide data quality
- CI/CD & Infrastructure: Optimizing continuous release/deployment environments within a large-scale private cloud system
- Streaming: Developing stream processing applications and frameworks to reduce time-to-insight for analysts and data scientists
Application process
- Ensuring a smooth and enjoyable candidate experience is critical for us. We aim to get back to you regarding your application within 5 business days. Our interview process tends to take about 4 weeks to complete, but may fluctuate depending on the role
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.
