WHO WE ARE:
We’ve come a long way from our origins as a small startup. Today, we’re a truly global fintech company, with over 3000+ people from 80 nationalities, spread across 22 offices on 4 continents. And we’re growing and diversifying faster than ever before.
SumUp enables businesses to get paid easily, process orders quickly, sell online instantly and manage their money more efficiently. We create the tools businesses need to make their business and their customer experience thrive.
The Settlement Squad sits within SumUp's Payments Tribe and is responsible for the infrastructure that moves real money — managing settlement processes, banking integrations, and the financial controls that keep payouts running accurately across our merchant base. We're at a pivotal moment: alongside maintaining a business-critical legacy system, we're building a brand-new event-driven platform designed to scale across multiple markets and teams. This role is central to that transition — you'll help shape the architecture of a system where the quality of your decisions has a direct, measurable impact on SumUp's operations and reputation.
Nice to have:
Java (Spring Boot), Kafka Streams, PostgreSQL/RDBMS, REST, plus operational tooling and internal UIs.
Be empowered to do more that matters.
At SumUp, we're on a mission to empower small businesses across the globe by providing simple and affordable tools that allow them to thrive. Today, over 4 million businesses in 37 markets rely on SumUp as their financial partner to manage payments, finance and customer relationships.
