The opportunity
Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft - making us the financial technology platform of choice. At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition.
What you'll do
Own Complex Experience Logic: Take ownership of the end-to-end user journeys connecting in-person touchpoints (Payment terminals, SoftPOS (Tap to Pay, mobile SDKs) and regional checkout adaptations across EMEA, LATAM, APAC, and North America. Translate complex underlying payment mechanics into clear, intuitive product experiences.
Interface Design Mastery & UI Craft: Lead with a strong eye for visual hierarchy, micro-interactions, and interface design. Drive the details of screen layouts across compact terminal displays, merchant onboarding flows, and localized checkout components to ensure every pixel meets a high quality bar.
Core Triad Partnership: Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineering Leads from early discovery through execution. Articulate clear design rationale while balancing technical hardware and API constraints with merchant and shopper usability.
Eliminate Friction & Maintain UI Quality: Proactively identify experience debt and usability bugs across high-traffic IPP and localized surfaces. Apply and contribute to foundational design systems to ensure consistency, accessibility, and visual elegance across devices and web interfaces.
Distill Technical & Regulatory Complexity: Transform multi-layered payment configurations (regional scheme rules, local tax IDs, terminal branding profiles, and offline transaction limits) into simple, self-serve interface interactions.
Collaborative Alignment & Knowledge Sharing: Serve as a connective bridge between IPP hardware teams, regional go-to-market teams, and global platform designers. Document design patterns and share localized context to ensure global scalability without sacrificing local relevance.
What they're looking for
- Industry Innovation: Lead industry scanning to bring new PX methods, tools, and emergent technologies (specifically AI and LLMs) into Adyen, advancing our design framework and operational efficiency.
- Advanced Design Experience: 6+ years of experience designing complex, large-scale systems and framework-agnostic, end-to-end mobile products (iOS, Android), with a proven track record of driving impact across multiple product streams and solution areas.
- Strategic Partner: You are comfortable sitting at the table with senior business and technical stakeholders, translating complex user ecosystems and technical trade-offs into compelling, actionable narratives.
- Mentor by Influence: You excel in strategic thinking and craft excellence. You lead through inspiration and architectural standards rather than hierarchy.
