Head of Engineering - Financial Data Experience

At Adyen, payments and money movement are central to what we do. As the Head of Engineering for Financial Data Experience, you make sure our customers never have to work out where their money went. You build the datasets and experiences that our global merchants, regulators and Adyen Finance rely on to trust their numbers. Each of them receives fully explained financial data in a format they can verify and audit. This role bridges the gap between Adyen's internal ledger complexity and the unified, customer-facing money movement experience. The goal is an automated, self-serve, trustworthy experience. This role is based out of our Amsterdam office. We are an office-first company and value in-person collaboration; we do not offer remote-only roles.
