Senior Forward Deployed Engineer - Data Platform

About the role

Adyen's Business Enablement Engineering Team is looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer with a deep passion for AI and automation. The role drives internal teams to adopt and fully use the company's productivity tooling, working closely with non-technical functions such as Legal, Support and Operations to reduce manual work and speed up their day-to-day work. It is an office-first role based in the Amsterdam office.

Key responsibilities

• Build robust, resilient systems with low or no maintenance, building on existing internal ecosystems or stakeholder tooling to improve productivity and user experience.
• Create long-term, high-quality documentation and runbooks, then hand ownership back to the function or team.
• Identify repeated stakeholder issues and feed them back into the Business Enablements Tooling roadmap.
• Automate complex internal processes using Google Vertex AI, Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) and software engineering, for example automated support agents, intelligent documentation retrieval and contract review automations.
• Own end-to-end delivery of complex solutions: write critical code, configure systems and troubleshoot issues.
• Develop proofs of concept and minimum viable products quickly, turning non-technical requirements into technical solutions.
• Resolve complex technical challenges, including data integrations on GCP/Kubernetes and AI agent orchestration.

Required profile

• Software engineering expert with strong automation skills, able to build, troubleshoot and scale scripts and tools independently.
• Experience working with data platforms.
• Client-facing experience such as Solutions Architect or Solutions Engineer.
• Deep understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering and applied ML workflows, with hands-on integration of third-party AI models (e.g. Gemini) and agentic frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LlamaIndex, Google ADK).
• Ability to translate non-technical issues into technical requirements and communicate complex ideas simply.
• Security-first mindset and a "get-things-done" mentality, able to lead technical initiatives autonomously.

Required skills

• Google Cloud Platform, including Vertex AI and Kubernetes deployments.
• Postgres, Redis and on-premise infrastructure.
• Integrations with Slack Enterprise Grid, Zoom and the Atlassian suite.
