Senior Platform Engineer (Observability)

Join Adyen, a leading global payment company, as a Senior Platform Engineer specializing in Observability. In this role, you will be responsible for building and running observability pillars, managing a hybrid infrastructure, automating operations, optimizing for scale and performance, and improving the self-service experience for users. You will work in a large-scale environment, dealing with petabytes of data and thousands of servers. This is a unique opportunity for a builder and problem solver with a strong technical background in observability and infrastructure.

• Conception et mise en œuvre de l'architecture future de nos systèmes de journalisation et de métriques.
• Gestion du cycle de vie de plus de 1 500 serveurs dans des environnements bare-metal et Kubernetes.
• Écriture de code en Go ou Python pour éliminer les tâches opérationnelles manuelles et construire des systèmes auto-réparateurs.
• This is a role for a builder and a problem solver who enjoys deep technical troubleshooting across distributed systems and then turns recurring issues into automated, repeatable solutions
• Observability Stack Expertise: You have hands-on experience operating core telemetry data stores at scale e.g. Elasticsearch/Opensearch/VictoriaLogs/Clickhouse for logging, Prometheus/ VictoriaMetrics for metrics and Grafana Tempo for distributed tracing
• Production Kubernetes Experience: Proven hands-on experience operating, and troubleshooting production workloads on Kubernetes (on-prem and/or cloud), including strong day-to-day use of kubectl and Kubernetes primitives (e.g. Namespaces, Pods, Deployments/StatefulSets, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps/Secrets)
• 10+ years of experience in the observability domain or in a relevant platform/infrastructure domain
• Software Engineering Mindset: You are proficient in Go or Python and do not just write scripts; you build tools and automation platforms that treat infrastructure as code
• Linux Experience: You understand the operating system at a kernel level and can debug complex networking, file system, and performance issues on both bare metal and virtualized hardware
• Experience with large scale, multi tenant isolation and quota or cost governance approaches for telemetry platforms.​
• Familiarity with regulated environments where security, audibility, and data handling requirements shape platform design decisions.​
• Studies show that women and members of underrepresented communities apply for jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Does this sound like you? If so, Adyen encourages you to reconsider and apply. We look forward to your application!
