Early Careers

At Adyen, we're fueled by fresh ideas and driven by ambition. To maintain our momentum and continue to push the boundaries of the fintech industry, we've developed an early careers program that provides students and recent graduates with the opportunity to jumpstart their careers in our dynamic and fast-paced environment.

Early career programs

We offer three early career options. Our NextGen program provides students in the final year of their studies a chance to sample life at Adyen by working part-time alongside their studies. Our internship program offers masters students a chance to tackle research questions devised by our tech teams in order to complete their master’s thesis. Lastly, our Graduate roles are geared towards recent graduates with up to two years of experience who are eager to launch their full-time careers.

NextGen life

Critical thinkers, self-starters, and those who aren’t afraid to challenge convention.

What your future colleagues have to say

Busayo Babalola
Joining Adyen as a NextGen was a major highlight of my school year. Initially, I knew little about payment card industry security standards and scheme compliance, but with the guidance of my amazing team, I was handling a team project in just a few months. At Adyen, even as a NextGen, you have the freedom to grow, create your own path, and take ownership of your career.

Adyen kickstarted my career and provided me with the tools and opportunity to succeed, allowing me to truly kickstart my career in a fantastic company.
