What the job involves
- We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the development of our Capital product, powering how businesses access financing options for their businesses. Capital is the next growth frontier as Adyen grows into a comprehensive financial service provider beyond Payments
- This is a new and rapidly evolving space, giving you the opportunity to influence the strategy, own the roadmap, apply AI first product development, see it through from early build to a scaled product
- As an engineering leader, you’ll work closely with partners across engineering, product, commercial, and operations to deliver a best-in-class lending product that serves Platform businesses and their customers. This San Francisco-based role is part of the broader Financial Products organization, which owns the full suite of financial services at Adyen
- Drive the Roadmap: Develop and execute the technical roadmap for expanding our lending products, translating ambitious business goals into world-class technical reality
- Technical Authority and Excellence: Act as a technical leader and domain expert, challenging and driving technical design and solutions to ensure an exceptionally high technical bar. You will be the point person for product technical decisions, speaking for the product across the organization and, occasionally, to clients
- People & Performance: Coach, mentor, and build a high-performing team. You will be responsible for performance management, professional development, and building a culture of rapid, top-notch execution
- Execution & Ownership: Work closely with Product Managers to manage project goals and timelines while proactively addressing technical debt, and enforcing best engineering practices. You are a driver, not an executor
- Client & Product Focus: Maintain a strong product mindset, deeply understanding our clients' needs, financial service industry, and the broader market landscape. You will propose new features and collaboratively shape the future direction of the product
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.
