Senior Software Engineer, Issuing Team

The Adyen Issuing product is an API-driven product for generating physical and virtual payment cards for business use cases. This enables our customers to benefit from the features of Mastercard and Visa cards such as interchange kickbacks, chargebacks, intelligent transaction declines, etc. B2B card transactions can be a safer and much cheaper alternative to bank or wire transfers. 

The Chicago Issuing team is currently building a best-in-class dispute case management api. This is particularly interesting to our online travel agency customers who are exposed to risks of airlines and hotels going bankrupt between booking time and services rendered. By using Adyen issued cards, the travel agency can reverse a transaction by raising a dispute via the API. 

We are building a deceptively simple api that is scheme agnostic, and that hides the huge complexity of getting money back into our customers account. The issuing product has entered a phase of hyper-growth, and many new backend systems are currently being built to accommodate the 100x growth expected over the near term.
