Role
Who you are
- Experienced Java Engineer: Currently working as a Senior Software Engineer or at a similar level, with demonstrated knowledge of building Java applications and software
- Security Minded Builder: You have a demonstrable passion for security and a strong understanding of security basics which could include (but are not limited to): access controls, authentication cryptography, or building internal frameworks (SDKs, tools) that enable other teams to easily ship secure code by default. You keep up-to-date on the latest practices, like OWASP, and actively seek them in your domain. You are also able to identify security risks in your own systems and that of others through processes like threat modelling
- Distributed Systems Thinker: You are familiar with complex, large-scale distributed systems and understand how to build for resiliency and high availability
- Collaborative Skeptic: You have technical opinions but are willing to change them; you possess a healthy skepticism paired with a collaborative, proactive mindset
- Strong Owner: You have a sense of autonomy and responsibility, capable of driving projects forward independently in a fast-paced environment
What the job involves
- At Adyen, security is paramount. Our Applied Security Engineering (ASE) team was created to bring a unified direction for our core security capabilities across Adyen’s vast codebase
- We combine deep security expertise with the practical needs of our developers to build, offer, and enforce a collection of tools and frameworks essential to our security posture
- Our mission is to make the secure way, the easiest way
- ASE is changing the narrative of Security at Adyen by reducing security friction
- We abstract away the complexity of security standards, providing intuitive and frictionless tools that allow our product teams to build inherently secure financial technology without being slowed down by security bottlenecks
- Be a Builder, Not Just a User: You will design and implement the "Secure Defaults" for the entire Adyen platform, moving beyond just using security tools to actually building the frameworks that power them
- Production Engineering: You’ll use best engineering practices, improvements, and opportunities to lead complex technical projects from requirements analysis through architectural design, implementation, testing, and launch into production|
- Deliver Horizontal Impact: Lead complex technical projects like platform-wide cryptographic standardization
- Architect for Scale: Identify and improve parts of our high-concurrency platform (thousands of transactions per second) to make it more robust, scalable, and available
- Collaborate Globally: Partner with our security subject matter experts in Amsterdam and Chicago and product developers worldwide to turn security requirements into scalable, automated reality
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.
