European payments processor serving SMBs and mid-market merchants
Elavon Europe processes in-store, online, and mobile payments across seven countries with a 4,300-person operation anchored in Dublin. The tech stack—Python, Azure, AWS, SQL Server, Salesforce, and Power Platform—reflects a hybrid cloud-first architecture, while active migration from SAS to Python for credit risk modeling signals a shift toward more flexible, in-house model ownership. Finance and sales dominate the hiring mix (40 of 95 open roles), consistent with a merchant-acquisition business scaling SMB coverage in the UK while managing regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
Elavon Europe is a payment processor and merchant services provider operating across Ireland, UK, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Spain, and Norway. The company handles card payments, POS solutions, fraud prevention, and omnichannel acceptance for businesses of all sizes. As a subsidiary of U.S. Bank Europe DAC, Elavon operates under Central Bank of Ireland regulation and is organized around core functions: payment processing and gateway operations, credit risk assessment, sales and merchant acquisition, and operational support. Current focus areas include core banking product development, system enhancements to the unified "One Elavon" proposition, and process automation to improve delivery efficiency.
Python, Azure, AWS, SQL Server, Salesforce, Power Platform, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions form the core stack. The company is migrating credit risk models from SAS to Python and uses Alteryx for data operations.
