Company mission
Adyen's mission is to make payments choices easy for merchants.
Role
Who you are
- Technical: 5+ years in Data Analytics/Science. You are highly proficient in SQL, Python, and PySpark
- Big Data Savvy: Experience with Spark, Airflow, and Git is essential for our scale
- Strategic: You don’t just pull data; you tell a story. You can explain technical gaps to Legal, Compliance, or Regulators in plain English
- Automation-First: You have a natural "lazy-efficient" streak—if a task is manual, your first instinct is to build a script to kill it
- Fintech Background: Previous experience in AML, KYC, or Sanctions is a huge plus, but the ability to navigate complex datasets is a must
What the job involves
- The Compliance Data team sits at the intersection of regulatory excellence and data innovation.
- We don't just "report" on compliance; we build the analytical engine that ensures Adyen scales safely.
- Our mission is to manage risk at scale through automated, platform-wide data solutions that identify risks before they become issues
- Automate Compliance: Replace manual, sample-based processes with scalable Python/Spark solutions that cover our entire global portfolio
- Monitor Risk: Design and maintain frameworks to proactively detect compliance gaps across Adyen’s global platform
- Bridge the Gap: Translate complex regulatory requirements into technical data models and roadmap items
- Own Data Integrity: Partner with Engineering to refine data models, ensuring our compliance assets are accurate, accessible, and audit-ready
- Drive Strategy: Lead cross-functional projects that shift our compliance posture from reactive to data-driven
- Build data literacy: Drive adoption of data skills to elevate data fluency, enable self-service analysis, and foster data-driven 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.
