We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our growing US engineering team.
At SumUp, small business owners are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we create powerful, easy-to-use financial solutions to help them run their businesses. With merchants in over 31 countries using SumUp to accept payments, we’re building the first-ever global card acceptance brand. Using a founder’s mentality and a “team-first” attitude, our teams across Europe, South America and the United States work together to ensure that small business owners can be successful doing what they love.
Job
Our goal is to make SumUp the #1 way for small businesses to accept payments in the US. As a Senior Software Engineer on the US engineering team, you will be part of growing a new engineering organization from the very early stages. This is a highly collaborative role, and the ideal candidate will be able to work closely with a wide variety of stakeholders, technical and non-technical, across several teams (and timezones).
SumUp is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The salary range for this position in Boulder, CO is $130,000 to $180,000. Compensation will be finalized by candidate’s relevant work experience, skills, certifications and geographic location.
This position is remote-optional, but we're mostly colocated in the Boulder office and offer a generous relocation to beautiful Colorado. We can only hire US Residents at this time.
Here's how you'll fit into our US Engineering team:
- We work with teams across the engineering and product organization at SumUp. We have a few areas that we spend the most time in: US Merchant Experience, US Core Payments Infrastructure, New Market Expansion, and US Loonshots (big bets). That means you could be working on launching a new country one month, and building new core payments features the next. We like to hire generalists, and then find the best place for you over time. We also prioritize learning new skills, so you'll get the chance to work on lots of different projects if you want to.
- We work with a light project management structure: kanban, a weekly engineering meeting, daily stand-ups. Everyone is empowered to decide what to work on to create the biggest impact, and they're also responsible for getting feedback from users, testing, and monitoring once it's live.
Things we value most in our Senior Software Engineers:
- Clean, maintainable, peer-reviewed code. Other engineers should use your work as a standard for excellence.
- Help with hiring, coaching and mentoring other engineers.
- Ability to guide the development, deployment, and maintenance of small, focused services within a distributed architecture.
- Ability to work directly with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and others across different tribes and squads.
- Taking ownership of legacy services which have outlasted their original implementations, through refactoring, migration, and rethinking of architectural design.
- Making our engineers and engineering systems more effective with processes that allow us to ship quicker, fail faster, and isolate the blast radius of changes.
Requirements
You have:
- A curious, passionate, and growth-oriented mindset about technology
- Led impactful engineering projects at a non-trivial scale
- A desire to teach, improve, and multiply the strengths of engineers around you
- Experience working with one or more of: Ruby, Golang, Elixir/Erlang
- Experience with micro-service based architecture

Bonus points for:
- Familiarity with React and/or Rails

Why you should join SumUp:
- Be part of a welcoming community of more than 2,000 people from over 52 nationalities (we're a big startup!)
- Over 30 days of paid vacation and holidays
-
Meaningful equity in a fast-growing fintech unicorn (Virtual Shares Program with an internal marketplace)
- Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance and company-paid life insurance
- Employer paid long-term disability
- 401K Retirement Plan (up to 3.5% employer matching when you elect to contribute up to 6%)
