Senior CI/CD Engineer

Adyen is looking for an Infrastructure Developer for the In-Person-Payments Tooling team in Chicago. This role focuses on CI/CD Engineering, ensuring smooth and efficient software development and deployment processes, with a key area being Android / iOS development. You will be instrumental in creating and maintaining CI/CD systems and developing infrastructure tooling, essentially acting as the "glue" that binds code and infrastructure together.

The position involves working on CI/CD for Android and iOS app development. The primary function is developing tools and applications to manage and interact with the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) to provide an elevated SDLC experience for the organization. This work involves close collaboration with developers, as well as teams building our on-premises infrastructure, including Kubernetes clusters, the Hashicorp stack, and our private cloud. You will be pivotal in ensuring our software development and deployment processes are smooth and efficient by creating and maintaining CI/CD systems and developing infrastructure tooling.

What you’ll do

• Design and implement CI/CD pipelines for Android and iOS applications using tools like GitLab CI, Gradle, KMP, Develocity and Android Native Plugin.
• Automate build processes for multiple build variants, flavors, and configurations
• Configure build caching and optimization to reduce build times
• Configure code quality checks, static analysis, and security scanning
• Configure emulators and device farms for automated testing
• Integrate monitoring and alerting for tooling health
• Set up automated testing frameworks including unit tests, integration tests, and UI tests

 
Who you are

You are a DevOps or Infrastructure Engineer with a passion for mobile development. You enjoy figuring out "how things work" under the hood and are eager to bridge the gap between writing code and deploying it. You don’t just want to build apps; you want to build the engines that power them.

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps or Infrastructure Engineering.
• An Analytical Problem Solver: You have a logical approach to troubleshooting and aren't afraid to dive into build logs to find a failing root cause.
• Mobile Enthusiast: You have a foundational understanding of either Android (Gradle/Kotlin) or iOS (Xcode/Swift) and are excited to become an expert in both.
• Automation Mindset: You find manual, repetitive tasks frustrating and have a natural urge to script them away using Python, Bash, or Kotlin Script.
• Autonomous yet Collaborative: You are comfortable working independently on complex tasks but stay in sync with a team of other dedicated engineers.
• Quality Focused: You understand that a good CI/CD pipeline is the first line of defense for code quality and stability.

Nice to have

• Advanced Linux & Systems Admin: Proficiency in Linux troubleshooting (understanding inodes, process management, and resource allocation).
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Familiarity with tools like Terraform or Puppet .
• Alternative CI Tooling: While Gitlab CI is preferred, experience with Jenkins , GitHub Actions , or Bitrise is highly valued.
• Advanced Testing & Monitoring: Experience configuring device farms/emulators for automated testing and integrating monitoring/alerting for tooling health.
• Specific Android Tools: Familiarity with KMP (Kotlin Multiplatform), Develocity , and specialized testing tools like Screenshot testing or Detekt .
• iOS Ecosystem: Familiarity with Xcode CLI (xcodebuild).
