This is Adyen

Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft - making us the financial technology platform of choice. At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition. 

For our teams, we create an environment with opportunities for our people to succeed, backed by the culture and support to ensure they are enabled to truly own their careers. We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster.

Engineering Manager, Developer Experience & Observability 

The mission

We don’t just build APIs; we build the lens through which thousands of global merchants view their integration. As the Engineering manager for developer observability, you will lead a specialized team dedicated to making the "invisible" visible. Your goal is to eliminate the guesswork for developers.

You aren't just managing infrastructure; you are building a product suite that provides real-time clarity. You’ll ensure that when a developer integrates with us, they have the telemetry, debugging tools, and insights to move from "first request" to "production" with zero friction.

The Role

This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will guide a full-stack team of engineers who balance lean experimentation with the rigors of high-scale reliability. You’ll oversee the systems (PostgreSQL, Kafka, Elasticsearch) that power our API Logs and Developer dashboards, transforming raw data into actionable guidance for our partners.

What you'll do:

• Maintain a strong product mindset, move beyond standard monitoring to build "Customer-Centric Observability"—tools that tell a developer exactly why a payment failed or how to optimize their integration. You will propose new features and collaboratively shape the future direction of the product.
• You’ll participate in architectural designs and code reviews, ensuring our data tech stack (Kafka/Elasticsearch) delivers near real-time insights at scale (~3.5 billion events weekly growing fast). Act as a technical leader and domain expert for your teams products, 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 to customers.
• We value "live" over "perfect." You will lead your team to ship functionalities within weeks, not months, impacting millions of transactions globally. Work closely with Product Managers to manage project timelines while proactively addressing technical debt, and enforcing best engineering practices.
• Coach, mentor, and build a high-performing team of Backend and Frontend engineers. You will be responsible for continuous performance management, professional development, and maintaining a culture of rapid, top-notch execution.

Who you are:

• You believe integration should be effortless. You care about the "inner loop" and the ergonomics of an API.
• You are deeply comfortable with Java, SQL, and distributed systems. You don’t just know how to run a database; you know how to build services on top of it that people love to use.
• You have experience with large-scale systems but prioritize the product knowledge and customer experience over technical complexity for its own sake.
• You thrive in autonomy and ambiguity, and you value diverse perspectives when solving "unsolvable" scaling or UX challenges.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5+ years of technical experience, with a significant background as a hands-on Software Engineer.
• 3+ years in a leadership role, managing high-performing engineering teams while maintaining "boots on the ground" technical literacy.
• Proven track record in building developer-facing tools, observability platforms, or high-traffic API products.
• The "Plus": Experience in payments or building external-facing developer consoles/dashboards.

We are seeking a highly skilled and proactive Staff Engineer with a strong background in Java Software Engineering and hands-on experience in technical system design. In this role, you will play a critical part in designing, building, and scaling systems to solve real-world business challenges.

You are someone who is curious about new technologies, eager to learn, and passionate about using technology as a practical tool to drive meaningful business impact. You enjoy solving complex problems and thrive in environments where innovation, continuous learning, and collaboration are key.

What you’ll do

• Design and build robust, scalable systems in production, improving reliability, performance, and operability of the settlement platform.
• Engineer for correctness and resilience by default: idempotency, retries, recovery, backfills, data repair tooling, and safe rollout strategies; measurably reduce incident frequency and time-to-recovery.
• Lead architecture and technical decision-making: drive design docs and design reviews, align teams on shared patterns and invariants, and communicate trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Finance, Data, Risk/Compliance, Operations, and Account Management to translate business and regulatory needs into pragmatic technical solutions.
• Improve platform boundaries and developer velocity by simplifying interfaces, reducing coupling, and clarifying domain ownership - making the system easier to evolve safely.
• Raise the engineering bar through strong practices in observability, testing strategy, documentation, and operational playbooks.
• Mentor and multiply impact via coaching, code reviews, knowledge sharing, and enabling teams to make high-quality decisions without becoming dependent on you.
• Support hiring and talent growth: help define role needs, participate in interviews, and contribute to building a strong, inclusive engineering culture aligned with Adyen values.

Who you are

• You have at least 10-12 years of extensive industry experience in Software Engineering, including hands-on experience in system design, architecture, and development with technologies such as Java, Postgres, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Redis.
• You think strategically, are able to connect business goals with technical execution, and design systems that scale with the company.
• You’re proactive and self-driven, with a natural ability to identify what needs to be done, even in unstructured environments, through collaboration and critical thinking.
• You’re energized by complexity and curious about the mechanics of financial systems.
• You are able to challenge constructively, foster collaboration, and drive engagement.
• You come from a high-paced, product-oriented environment.
• You’re a clear communicator and influencer in English, comfortable navigating cross-functional dynamics and driving alignment.
• A pragmatic mindset on engineering quality: testing, observability, documentation, and operational readiness are part of the design.
• A multiplier approach to leadership: you elevate others without becoming the bottleneck.
