Senior Partner Solutions Engineer - Hardware
Adyen · Amsterdam
What you will do
- Serve as the primary, most senior technical advisor for your OEM's engineering team, leading escalations on the most complex device-level issues.
- Drive technical strategy for your OEM relationship: which issues to prioritize, which process gaps to close, and how automation and tooling should evolve.
- Lead cross-functional alignment across Product, Engineering, Hardware Integrity/Reliability, and Commercial on priorities for your OEM, especially when those priorities conflict.
- Design and drive adoption of tooling, automation, and process improvements that scale quality efforts across the relationship.
- Partner together with Commercial to drive proactive improvements to the Adyen payment experience on partner devices, not just reactive bug-fixing.
- Mentor other Partner Solutions Engineers on debugging approach and partner management, without formal management responsibility.
- Help shape the broader and scalable operating model for Hardware Partner Engineering as Adyen adds OEM relationships and device coverage.
What they look for
- 8+ years of experience in a technical solutions role, partner engineering, or related fields, with proven experience in a customer-facing role (e.g., developer advocate, partner engineer, technical solutions engineer, or solutions architect).
- 4+ years of hands-on embedded, firmware, or systems engineering experience, with meaningful exposure to hardware, embedded, or device-level environments.
- Embedded Android experience in a point-of-sale context (e.g. point-of-sale terminals, payment terminals, kiosks, unattended/vending machines, etc.) is a plus.
- A credible technical authority who can evaluate an OEM's root-cause claims and hold senior OEM engineering counterparts accountable.
- Track record of turning a reactive backlog into durable process, tooling, or automation.
- Excellent communicator, comfortable leading discussions with senior partner engineering leadership and internal cross-functional stakeholders.
- High agency and a strategic mindset: you're thinking a few steps past the current ticket queue.
- Willing to travel to OEM locations and work across time zones.
