- Someone who promotes strong teamwork, healthy collaboration, and inclusivity
What the job involves
- Within Platform Engineering, the Shared Application Capabilities (SAC) group works on the foundational building blocks that the Adyen platform is composed of.

- Interact regularly with infrastructure engineers, software developers, product managers, and the leadership teams from other departments
- Guide a cross-functional team to establish a roadmap with feasible and measurable goals
- Serve as a leader across Adyen for supporting and driving innovative solutions and decision-making

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.
