Company mission
Adyen's mission is to make payments choices easy for merchants.
Role
Who you are
- Able to contribute to both technical design and implementation
- Can understand complex business requirements and has a keen attention to detail
- Familiarity with complex large-scale distributed systems is a plus
- You have great communication skills and the ability to articulate complex technical concepts in a way that makes them seem simple
- Open to some domestic and international travel
- A minimum of 4 years of professional experience writing code in Java
- Demonstrated expertise in working on modern web services (e.g. REST APIs) in either a backend or full-stack role
- Experience in working with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL)
What the job involves
- Every time a merchant submits a transaction or uses one of Adyen’s services, the Adyen platform must determine whether to charge the merchant and how much they should be charged
- In many cases, what exact price a merchant pays to use Adyen’s services depends on how much volume they have already processed and/or the exact details of the contract they signed with Adyen
- The Pricing team owns the technical components that allow all products at Adyen to be priced
- Commercial users interact with Pricing’s products to create and sign deals, Support uses our products to answer merchant questions about their pricing, and the rest of the Adyen platform relies on us to receive up-to-date, contractually accurate, and performant data on how every single event running through our system should be priced
- The work we are doing is truly central to Adyen’s ability to generate revenue and we are making a significant and principled investment into new and improved services to support Adyen’s and our merchants’ growth
- Take technical projects from an idea all the way through implementation into production
- Own a set of full-stack internal tools as well as a mission-critical API
- Contribute to the team’s strategy and technical direction
- Work to build APIs that support not only Adyen’s current volume but will scale as the company grows
- Understand a complex domain area and use this expertise to design products that make that complexity easy for our users to interact with
Application process
- 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 €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.
