Implementation Engineer I
As an Implementation Engineer I at Adyen, you will help global businesses design, build, and launch scalable payment integrations that power how they operate and grow. You’ll work closely with merchants to translate their business needs into reliable, scalable payment solutions that support their expansion across markets, channels, and products. This position is based in Shanghai, and the ideal candidate is both consultative and technical.
