Engineering Manager, Financial Platform

Job Overview

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.

Key points

  1. Lead a team of 7–8 backend engineers. You will own 1:1s, performance management, career development and hiring.

  2. Take the time to understand the platform, the team and its stakeholders. Then form a clear view of where the biggest changes are needed…

  3. Guide system design and architecture, and set the engineering principles the team builds by. The stack is Java, Spring Boot, web services…

  4. Balance new development with modernising established systems. In a business-critical area, this means telling what is truly urgent from what can wait.

  5. An experienced people manager who has led and grown engineering teams. This is not a first-time management role.

  6. Technically credible with senior engineers. You come from a strong backend background and understand distributed systems well enough to review designs…

  7. A mature leader who stays clear-headed under pressure and can prioritise well when urgent demands compete.

  8. Curious and collaborative. You take time to understand a team’s context and needs before driving change, and you lead with empathy.
