Global payments platform processing 10M daily transactions across 50+ markets

Financial Services Amsterdam, North Holland 1,001–5,000 employees Public Company

PayU operates a multi-rail payments infrastructure spanning Java/Spring backends, MySQL/PostgreSQL persistence, Kafka-adjacent streaming (AWS MSK, Debezium), and a modern data pipeline (Airflow, PySpark, Spark, Redshift). The tech mix reveals a company mid-migration away from monolithic enterprise systems (SAP replacement in progress) toward distributed services and real-time decision systems. Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering, data, and security—consistent with active projects around fraud detection (GraphML-based anomaly systems), real-time decisioning, and AML/CTF compliance automation in high-risk regions (CEE, EMEA).
