Adyen

We took an unobvious approach to starting a payments company, building a platform from scratch. Today, we're the payments platform of choice for the world's brightest companies. Speed is the foundation of our company. We think fast. We work fast. We launch fast. We are honest, direct, and try to have some fun too. We’re creating our own path, with a global team driving sustainable growth. To maintain our momentum, we need people to join us in finding new ways of solving our unique challenges - people like you.

Adyen was founded in 2006 by a group of entrepreneurs, including Pieter van der Does and Arnout Schuijff. The existing payments technology consisted of a patchwork of systems built on outdated infrastructure. With the aim of helping businesses grow, the co-founders set out to build a platform capable of meeting the rapidly evolving needs of today's fast-growing global businesses.

Adyen's founding team called the business Adyen – Surinamese for "Start over again" – and focused on building a modern infrastructure directly connected to card networks and local payment methods across the world, allowing for unified commerce and providing shopper data insights to merchants. The Adyen platform enables merchants to accept payments in a single system, enabling revenue growth online, on mobile devices and at the point of sale.

Building with tech giants

We work with tech powerhouses and nurture startups with big dreams. Our US merchants shape their industries – think Facebook, Uber, and eBay – and we’re right alongside them, helping them grow. We can walk to Dropbox, Pinterest and even to some of our biggest competitors. Which just makes us work harder at building the world’s leading payments platform. We’re a crucial building block in the new economy – it’s a challenge we love and what gets us out of bed every day.

Your home away from home

Opened in 2014, our office is 20,0000 light-filled square feet in the heart of SoMa - three blocks from the ballpark and two from the Bay. Coffee, snacks and communal lunches aside, we have everything you need to work the way you want to. Sit at a desk, a cushy couch or even the balcony as you enjoy a view of the Bay Bridge. We've got everything you need to feel "gezellig," an utterly untranslatable Dutch word for "cozy."
