CI/CD Engineer

Adyen is looking for CI/CD Engineers for its Platform Engineering solution in Amsterdam. The position involves working on a distributed, real-time, 24/7 system with interesting performance and security requirements. The primary function will be developing CI/CD solutions and pipelines for code and infrastructure. You will also be responsible for maintaining CI/CD tooling and infrastructure and supporting the rest of the organization. You’ll be replacing, re-building and refactoring components of a complex, bespoke CI infrastructure. Instead of just consuming technologies, you will be expected to develop the glue which binds code and infrastructure together. Together, we will be providing CI/CD “as-a-service” to the whole organization.

Who you are:

You are well versed in the Software Development Lifecycle, and you know your way around Git. You love automating processes and advocating for best practices in CI/CD to the rest of the organization. Creating pipelines for GitLab CI and Jenkins is your bread and butter. You like to do things programmatically, by using Configuration Management and Infrastructure as Code tools (preferably Puppet, Ansible, and Terraform).  Perhaps most important; you are a true team-player who is open to feedback and who is able to work with a global workforce, diagnose problems, make quick informed decisions and handle pressure. You also have strong communication skills.

You probably have experience with some of the below mentioned technologies and concepts, and are willing to learn the others;

• Jenkins and Gitlab pipelines.
• Familiarity with containerization, Hashicorp and Kubernetes stack.
• You have experience leveraging containerization technologies and artifact storage solutions (Nexus, Harbor, JFrog…) in creating robust CI/CD pipelines.

• System configuration and administration, load balancing, horizontal scaling, monitoring, Understanding of Linux kernel primitives (Namespaces, Linux Cap, cgroups, etc), core operating systems including network setup and maintenance, network security and distributed file systems.
