Software Engineering Manager (Java)

This is Adyen

Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft - making us the financial technology platform of choice. At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition. 

For our teams, we create an environment with opportunities for our people to succeed, backed by the culture and support to ensure they are enabled to truly own their careers. We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster.

Why you should join the FX & Cash Management Team

FX & Cash Management is one of the most impactful domains within Adyen’s financial platform. Our systems power real-time liquidity, enable multi-currency operations, and help scale the financial infrastructure behind Adyen’s global growth.

You’ll manage a team of 4 software engineers and work closely with Product and Treasury to build the foundation that keeps Adyen’s financial ecosystem stable, scalable, and future-ready.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead and develop a team of software engineers working on FX rates, cash management, multi-currency accounts, and liquidity operations
• Drive delivery of large-scale projects end-to-end: from design to production
• Align engineering decisions with long-term product and platform strategy
• Own the technical vision for high-availability, low-latency financial systems
• Build a strong engineering culture through mentorship, direction, and feedback
• Partner with Product, Treasury, and other tech teams to solve cross-domain challenges
• Create clarity and momentum in a fast-paced, ambitious environment

Who You Are:

• 2+ years of experience leading and growing engineering teams
• Strong engineering foundation (Java, Postgresql, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Elastic, Redis, etc. )
• Able to connect business needs with technical decisions and influence stakeholders
• Comfortable with ambiguity—proactive, structured, and decisive
• Curious about financial systems; prior FX or treasury experience is a plus, not a requirement
• Thrive in fast-moving, product-oriented environments
