People Application Engineer

This is Adyen

At Adyen we believe people are our greatest asset and we want to make sure we deliver the best employee experience there is. Join Adyen's People Technology team, a key part of our broader HR Innovations group, and help us redefine the employee experience globally.

We're looking for a People Application Engineer who is passionate about leveraging technology to not just plan, build, and maintain our HR systems, but to pioneer transformative AI solutions that will change how people interact with HR. If you're excited by the opportunity to drive efficiency, enhance insights, and create an exceptional environment through cutting-edge HR enterprise applications, we want to hear from you.

What you’ll do

• Set the vision and design of our HR technology strategy with a focus on simplicity, automation, and leveraging AI/ML for greater efficiency and insights.
• Own and evolve core tools (Workday, Greenhouse, and beyond) while introducing AI-driven features that streamline workflows.
• Collaborate as the go-to partner with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring our internal tools are intuitive, secure, and built for self-service.
• Design, develop, and implement integrations, workflows, and automations, primarily in Python, with an eye on scalable AI/ML applications.
• Maintain clean, compliant data practices that enable ethical, insight-driven decision-making.
• Document, troubleshoot, and continuously improve HR technology with a “simplify first, automate second” approach.

Who you are

• You have 5+ years of experience in an international working environment and technical expertise with Python and Javascript, specifically for developing integrations and automated workflows.
• You have a strong foundational understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) concepts, including their practical applications in business environments.
• Skilled in iPaaS, middleware, or automation platforms, with proven success designing multi-step workflows.
• Experienced with REST APIs and JSON; bonus if you’ve worked with Google’s Vertex AI Agent Builder.
• You understand HR processes (e.g., payroll, recruitment, onboarding, performance management) and compliance requirements, and have a keen eye for how AI can ethically and effectively transform these processes.
• You have strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate in a team, striving to find the best solutions, creating scalable, secure, and long-lasting environments.
