    What is Paymentwall?

    Paymentwall is a global payments platform helping companies accept payments from the United States and all over the world using all types of payment methods. 130+ at the moment. If you think that Credit Cards, Bitcoin and Apple Pay are going to be the future of Payments -- you are dead wrong! Only 1B out of 7B people in this world pay with credit cards. We are able to accept payments from almost 6B people with the payment options we currently support. We support Credit Cards, Mobile Carrier Billing, Bank Transfer, Cash Payments, Prepaid Cards, and many local payment options that you have never heard of in various countries.

    What kind of people work at Paymentwall?

    We are a very international company - like the United Nations. We speak 25+ languages and have 30+ different ethnicities in our company. English is not the only language we operate in. You will be hearing people speak German, French, Russian, Ukrainian, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Turkish, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Arabic throughout the whole day as you hear them broker business deals, communicate with partners, and our team members in different offices.

    We have 10 offices around the world:
    - USA - San Francisco is our head quarters, and we started
    another offices in Las Vegas, Nevada. In Latin America - Sao Paulo is
    our regional headquarters in the making. We are hiring!

    - Europe - Amsterdam, Berlin, Istanbul and Kiev anchor us on the Old
    World. We are the first startup in Berlin from the US to open an
    office and we were recognized by Techcrunch Europas award as "The Best Startup from Outside of Europe in 2013".
    In Kiev, we have been selected as "The Best Office", The Best Startup to Work at", The Top Employee Voted Startup.

    - Asia - We have been one of the first startups in Manila
    for several years now, we recently opened an office in Hanoi, Vietnam
    and Beijing, China as well. We are hiring for all offices. So if
    you have any friends in those countries, let them know!

    Why have I never heard of Paymentwall?

    Paymentwall is one of the few non-VC funded bootstrapped successful companies in San Francisco. Most of the noise comes from the PR agencies of VC funded startups, and creating buzz has not been our focus -- although we are known to throw excellent parties around the world - From Shanghai to Amsterdam, and Moscow to Sao Paulo.
    You will be hearing more about Paymentwall this year.

    So what is Paymentwall up to?

    We started in San Francisco, we took over the world, and now we are coming back and growing our team in San Francisco, in time for our office opening celebration in 2015 (we bought an office building on 9th Street and it's currently under construction!)

    We are looking to hire like-minded people at our company to help bring us to the next level.
    San Francisco acts as the strategic base for our global operations, so we need people who can think "American" and also "Global". "Global" does not mean "London" - it means you need to build products that also will be used by Developers in Russia, Europe, China, and South East Asia. And you will be selling our products to all over the world - to people who do not speak English as a native language.

    We need people who are also smart and technical and are not just experts in one area. We are looking for people who are between a Jack of All Trades and a Master of Something.

    We accept people with no experience, as long as they have potential. But we have a 3 big fails and you are out rule.

    We also have a rotation program to allow new comers to experiment with different roles in PM, BizDev, Marketing, Operations etc.

    "Traveling and Working with other cultures is my dream job!"
    It is practically everyone's dream job! And we enjoy traveling around 30% of our time - when we travel, it is usually for 1 week to 2 months. But we are not looking to hire tourists or people who have "taught English" in Goa. We have serious work to do, from building relationships to distributing products around the world to enable payments globally for everyone. When you are spotted on a beach and failing your task - we usually book the next flight back for you to Kansas. This doesn't mean that we don't make the time to see the Great Wall of China if we have an open afternoon after we are dead tired from a conference in Beijing.

    Challenging Projects

    • UI/UX - Usability is important for us and we are looking for people who can improve the usability of our products using both aesthetics, cool design, and statistics/analytics and global and local cultures and payments domain knowledge.
    • Marketing - We need people who can appeal to various mindsets around the world with the right pitch, events and products.
    • Business Development - We need people who can appeal to the hearts, minds, eyes, and ears of business managers and developers; people who can be geeky and/or business minded when needed. Juggling cultures, languages, timezones is essential.
    • Product Management: We are looking for product managers who also project manage and push for their ideas to be created, coordinating with different offices across timezones all over the world.
    • Technology Architecture: We operate 24/7/365. We have never been down for 5 years! We want to keep it up this way investing in good architectural decisions that are scalable.
    • Law, Compliance: Operating in 200+ countries makes our jobs challenging. We always need good lawyers and compliance officers to join our team.
