Chicago, United States Adyen Full time

We're looking for our next generation of C++ engineers to join our Payments Solution in Chicago. Let's guide you through what it means to be an Engineer at Adyen:


This is Adyen

Adyen is the payment platform of choice for the world's leading companies, delivering frictionless payments across online, mobile, and in-store channels. Our team members are motivated individuals who help each other do remarkable things daily. We face unique technical challenges at scale, and we solve those as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that transform how the world pays.


We took a new approach to starting a payments company, building a platform from scratch. Now, Adyen serves the world's brightest companies like Meta, Uber, L'Oreal, Casper, Etsy, and Spotify.


Senior C++ Engineer

Adyen is looking for a full-time Senior C++ Engineer to help us develop our in-person payments solution. We have a large and varied fleet of payment terminals in the field, which we continuously improve by adding new features and payment methods.


You will be working on developing our main business logic in C++ and other programming languages such as Kotlin, Python, or Java. We value your opinion and ideas. You're encouraged to propose improvements and new solutions for your team and the platform. You will also have the freedom and opportunity to work on projects that will bring innovation and keep Adyen ahead of their competition. With freedom comes responsibility; you're expected to take ownership of the features you work on and be involved in designing, implementing, testing, and monitoring the new functionality to ensure a sustainable and secure solution. Testing methods range from unit testing to complete product testing via automated programmable robots.


At Adyen, we have a development team working with various technologies. We love to solve hard technical problems effectively, take ownership, and want to work as part of an efficient team of professionals. We are constantly looking for the right balance between elegant solutions and time-to-market. In other words, you can work in a comfortable but dynamic and commercial environment.


What you'll do

As a Senior C++ Software Engineer, you will work on a solution for Payment Devices with many capabilities. These capabilities include:

  • Accepting payments with credit cards, phones, and QR codes.
  • Harmonizing a complex software solution across various payment terminal vendors, leading to a single software solution used in retail, hotels, and restaurants.
  • Integration with a variety of cash registers using state-of-the-art standards.
  • Bringing a new perspective on best engineering practices, improvements, and opportunities.
  • Leading complex technical projects from requirements analysis through design, implementation, testing, and launch into production.
  • Being hands-on and contributing to the implementation while offering technical guidance and mentoring to other engineers.
  • Mentoring and guiding engineers to improve their technical skills and make informed decisions.
  • Working from the office at least three days per week.

Who you are
  • Open-minded with a proactive attitude, able to solve an immediate problem while factoring in the bigger picture.
  • Enthusiastic about sharing your knowledge and developing yourself.
  • Skilled at collaborating with various people, including senior leaders, Product Managers, Android Engineers, iOS Engineers, Kotlin Engineers, and other Software Engineers.
  • Ability to provide reliable and clean code.

Required qualifications
  • 8+ years of development experience in C++ 14/17/20.
  • Multithreaded and Multi-process architecture knowledge.
  • IPC, RPCs, Object Oriented Design, Data Structures and algorithms.

Nice to have
  • Additional programming knowledge/experience - Kotlin and Java.
  • Knowledge of databases (Postgresql, SQLite).
  • Card payment (EMV, ISO8583, ISO20022) knowledge.

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion commitments

Our unique approach is a product of our diverse perspectives. This diversity of backgrounds and cultures is essential in helping us maintain our momentum. Our business and technical challenges are unique, and we need as many different voices as possible to join us in solving them - voices like yours. No matter who you are or where you're from, we welcome you to be your true self at Adyen.


Studies show that women and members of underrepresented communities apply for jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Does this sound like you? If so, Adyen encourages you to reconsider and apply. We look forward to your application


What's next?

Ensuring a smooth and enjoyable candidate experience is critical for us. We aim to get back to you regarding your application within 5 business days. Our interview process tends to take about 4 weeks to complete, but may fluctuate depending on the role. Learn more about our hiring process here. Don't be afraid to let us know if you need more flexibility.


This role is based out of our Chicago office. We are an office-first company and value in-person collaboration; we do not offer remote-only roles.
