Pricing Team

Every time a merchant submits a transaction or uses one of Adyen’s services, the Adyen platform must determine whether to charge the merchant and how much they should be charged. In many cases, what exact price a merchant pays to use Adyen’s services depends on how much volume they have already processed and/or the exact details of the contract they signed with Adyen.

The Pricing team owns the technical components that allow all products at Adyen to be priced. Commercial users interact with Pricing’s products to create and sign deals, Support uses our products to answer merchant questions about their pricing, and the rest of the Adyen platform relies on us to receive up-to-date, contractually accurate, and performant data on how every single event running through our system should be priced. The work we are doing is truly central to Adyen’s ability to generate revenue and we are making a significant and principled investment into new and improved services to support Adyen’s and our merchants’ growth.

• Identify and improve parts of the platform to make it more robust and scalable
• We launch fast and iterate often. Concretely, this means that within your first few weeks, you will bring live functionalities that impact many merchants and shoppers
• Collaborate across teams and time zones to get projects over the finish line

Who you are:

• You enjoy seeing the big picture and understanding how your code impacts the business
• You have experience with Java, Web Services, REST APIs, SQL/PostgreSql
• You have a good understanding of Software Engineering practices and interest in product knowledge
• You are familiar with complex large scale distributed systems
