Payment Terminal Certification Expert (L2)

Adyen develops its own L2 payment kernels, which sit at the core of every in-person transaction we process.

• You will own the technical preparation and execution of Level 2 kernel certification, ensuring our kernels meet EMVCo type approval requirements as well as the contact and contactless specifications of Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, JCB, UnionPay, existing local payment method & planned future payment method expansions as Adyen's In-Person Payment business expands.
• You will sit directly between our external certification lab and our engineering teams. That means owning the lab relationship end to end, and translating what comes back from testing into something engineers can act on.
• When a test fails, you investigate at the APDU and transaction-flow level, identify the root cause, and guide the kernel developers toward the fix rather than simply handing over a failure report.
• You will own the certification calendar: managing your own time and the wider timeline so submissions land when they need to, and so delta certifications triggered by kernel changes or expiring approvals never become a surprise.
