Role
Who you are
- At least 6+ years experience with Python object oriented programming
- Team player with strong communication skills

- Experience developing and maintaining:
- Distributed data and compute systems like Spark, Trino, Druid, etc
- Data modelling tooling
- DevOps pipelines and development ecosystems
- Real-time and batch data pipelines (via Kafka, Spark streaming) with an eye for frameworks, and emphasis on user friendliness and quality
- Kubernetes ecosystem (k8s, docker), and/or Hadoop ecosystems (Hive, Yarn, HDFS, Kerberos)
- 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
- Sitting at the intersection of Data Engineering, Backend Engineering, and Systems Engineering, Data Platform Engineers at Adyen build the foundational layer of tooling and processes for our on-premise Big Data Platforms. These tools support 10s of products, 100s of developers, and 1000s of daily jobs that add to Adyen’s strong portfolio of capabilities
- 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
- You’ll be asked to both build new tools and improve the existing tooling. This role is perfect for you if you're passionate about few of the following:
- Develop and maintain scalable and high performance big data platforms
- Work with distributed systems in all shapes and flavors (databases, filesystems, compute, etc.)
- Identify opportunities to improve continuous release and deployment environments
- Build or deploy tools to enhance data discoverability through the collection and presentation of metadata
- Introduce and extend tools to enhance the quality of our data, platform-wide
- Explore and introduce technologies and practices to reduce the time to insight for analysts and data scientists
- Develop streaming processing applications and frameworks
- Experience in infrastructure and large-scale private cloud systems
- For the currently open positions, the immediate focus will be the OLAP ecosystem (Druid, Clickhouse, Pinot), or the Data Engineering ecosystem (Data contracts, validations, optimization tooling, kafka ingestion tooling)
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.
