Role
Who you are
- You understand security detection and monitoring without being limited to specific SIEM tools or vendors
- You have solid and demonstrable experience with Python, and are able to translate complex detection logic into code
- You are a builder at heart, and have the mindset to script, automate, and scope projects to avoid repetitive tasks
- You have experience in one or more of the following areas: Operating System security (Linux/MacOS), Network security, Intrusion Detection, Incident Response, Threat Intelligence,. Bonus points for experience in: Software Development, Container Security
What the job involves
- As a driven and pro-active Security Detection and Monitoring Engineer you will focus on Security Operations, Detection building, Threat detection and Incident Response
- You will develop and maintain security solutions to improve detection capabilities, automate difficult manual tasks and investigate security incidents. In short, we want you to detect everything worth detecting, and then deal with it!
- How do we do that?
- Collaborating: To create meaningful detections and to respond to triggered alerts you will need to collaborate with other members of the security, product, development and infrastructure teams
- Developing our very own tool: To overcome vendor limitations and remain flexible, we decided to build our own event monitoring tool. You will add new detection logic with a mix of Python and your bright ideas to protect our Linux/MacOS environment. This requires quite a level in Python development, “a bit of scripting” is not enough for the challenges we have ahead of us!
- Using our very own tool: we do not believe in the typical task segregation of traditional security operation centers, instead all our security engineers developing new detections also act as security analysts, dealing with the alerts triggered by the monitoring system. Do you agree with this view? Tell us why - or challenge us - in your motivation letter!
- Create scalable and actionable detection logic for emerging threats in Python
- Develop new solutions to hunt, detect and deal with threats
- Operate and expand our in-house built security event monitoring tool
- Save your colleague’s time and brainpower through automation
- Maintain up to date knowledge of tools, techniques, and procedures used by attackers
- Build and own security monitoring tooling in Adyen
Application process
- Ensuring a smooth and enjoyable candidate experience is critical for us. We aim to get back to you regarding your application within 5 business days

Our take
Adyen has been one of the most successful businesses in Europe over the last decade. When it went public in 2018 at a valuation of €7bn, it raised over €1bn and its share price popped on the first day, resulting in a valuation of €14bn. Its valuation has continued to climb by the billions.
Adyen competes with large players like PayPal, as well as outsized startups like Stripe, to power payments and provide other infrastructure to conduct digital transactions. Disrupters in the field have been buoyed by a strong rise in eCommerce activity, where some or all of a transaction by a customer is made either online or by mobile.
Adyen has been one of the companies riding the wave by helping to reduce the friction between a company choosing to take payments online, and actually being able to do it. That can take multiple steps and agreements across numerous countries — Adyen’s pitch is that it essentially handles all of it in the backend as a service for its users. Notable partners have included Autocanteen, a touchless self-checkout solution for the hospitality industry, and BILL, a small business-focused fintech platform.
