Senior Infrastructure Developer

We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Developer to help design and create productivity tools that integrate with the Adyen on-prem and cloud ecosystem and empower employees to build products safely and more efficiently by engineering workflow automations that leverage AI-assisted tools to empower teams to build and ship products safely.

Who you are

10+ years of experience in high-traffic environments where downtime has a direct financial or operational impact.

Advanced hands-on experience in Python/Go, Typescript and CI pipelines.

Experience building and maintaining MCP servers and its ecosystems.

Integrating AI Assisted Development Tools into workflows and development pipelines.

Advanced experience managing production Kubernetes applications using and maintaining Helm charts and deployments via ArgoCD.

Advanced knowledge with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ThousandEyes and Elasticsearch.

What you’ll do

Architect, design and build workflow automations across the company, to enable employees to build and run applications with little to no technical knowledge.

Lead discussions and implementation for building MCP servers as a bridge between Adyen’s on-prem and cloud services with AI assisted development tools.

Design and implement multi-layered monitoring strategies (synthetic, blackbox and whitebox) for both on-premise and SaaS tools.

Participate in an on-call rotation, acting as a point of escalation for complex infrastructure outages.
