This is Adyen
Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft - making us the financial technology platform of choice. At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition.
For our teams, we create an environment with opportunities for our people to succeed, backed by the culture and support to ensure they are enabled to truly own their careers. We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster.
The Role
Our Docs Excellence team is looking for a systems-minded Technical Writer to join us in Chicago. This isn't a traditional writing role: we treat technical content as structured, living knowledge rather than static pages, and you'll operate as equal parts System Builder and Technical Curator.
You'll step into an established documentation practice: existing style guidelines, a domain-based team structure, and a workflow that blends traditional technical writing with AI-assisted tooling, and you'll help evolve it further as a Knowledge Architect. As System Builder, you'll design the metadata schemas, ontology, and context rules that guide automated first-pass content generation. As Technical Curator, you'll apply exceptional editorial judgment to review, fact-check, and refine that output into precise, trustworthy, and well-structured developer documentation.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a solid, established company with a startup mindset, characterized by small teams, direct communication, and work on important challenges. We offer an environment of ownership and speed.

Our business and technical challenges are unique, and we need as many different voices as possible to join us in solving them - voices like yours. No matter who you are or where you’re from, we welcome you to be your true self at Adyen.
