Head of Engineering (Financial Data Experience)

Join Adyen, a leading global payment company, as the Head of Engineering for Financial Data Experience. In this role, you will be responsible for building datasets and experiences that our global merchants, regulators, and Adyen Finance rely on to trust their numbers. You will bridge the gap between Adyen's internal ledger complexity and the unified, customer-facing money movement experience. You will also create an environment that fosters continuous innovation, build a best-in-class team, and stay close enough to the technology to judge a design yourself.

• Own the customer-facing model of money movement for merchants, regulators, and Adyen Finance, ensuring data reflects the merchant's entities and periods rather than mirroring internal systems.
• Create an environment that fosters continuous innovation, build a best-in-class team, and develop and hire great people with the right skills to deliver.

• You’re curious about what our biggest merchants are facing and you’re empathetic to solving problems that help all merchants
• You are literate in financial data. Ledgers, cut-offs, corrections and restatement, FX, fee attribution. You do not need payments; you do need to have worked where a number was an obligation rather than a metric
• You are comfortable streamlining the team's engineering operations, refining product requirements together with product and merchants and encouraging effective collaboration
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills and you are capable of translating complex technical concepts into clear, concise language, You are a great story teller, and are comfortable talking to tech & non-tech audiences, as well as merchants, vendors and internal stakeholders
