You will be a hands-on engineer, shaping technical strategy and ensuring successful outcomes from initial concept to handover while increasing overall adoption of our tooling ecosystem.

What you will do

• You build robust and resilient systems where maintenance is lower or non-existent. You build on top of our existing internal ecosystem or stakeholder tooling to accelerate teams productivity and user experience.

• Be responsible for the end-to-end technical delivery of complex technical solutions. You will personally write critical code, configure systems, and troubleshoot issues to ensure successful deployment and measurable business impact.
• Embrace Adyen's "launch fast" formula. Quickly develop proofs-of-concept and minimum viable products, translating non-technical business requirements into technical solutions, and gathering feedback along the way.
• Identify, analyze, and directly resolve the most complex technical challenges during all phases of the project, from complex data integrations on GCP/Kubernetes to advanced AI agent orchestration.
