As part of the Observability team you will build and maintain products and services that enable engineers at Adyen to understand how their services are behaving in real-time, reliably diagnose issues and streamline data discovery through a common observability ecosystem. Between logs, metrics and traces, our platform collects and processes billions of events per day.

  • Identify and tackle bottlenecks and single points of failures in the architecture aiming to improve the reliability of the observability platform and the overall user experience.
  • Driving features and products idealization, implementation and adoption.
  • Collaborate on planning and refinement proactively providing input whilst striving for engineering alignment, quality and reducing complexity and dependencies.
  • Respond to alerts and duty responsibilities, like providing support to other engineers and troubleshooting production issues

What you bring

  • 5+ years of experience working with highly distributed systems
  • Expertise in designing and implementing APIs and data pipelines for high-throughput, real-time data ingestion

  • Solid understanding of system design and evaluating its tradeoffs
  • Demonstrated track record of leading and delivering project and features end to end
  • Highly motivated to learn and continuously develop yourself

  • Experience with highly available/fault tolerant, replicated data storage systems, large scale data processing systems is a strong plus
  • Infrastructure and Platform Experience
  • Contributions to open-source observability projects

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
