SEEKING FREELANCER - REMOTE or LONDON
We are a developer-focused, industry-leading, bootstrapped company, with 30,000+ global users.
We're loved by Kickstarter, Braintree, Etsy, Shopify, JustGiving, Paymill, WordPress/Automattic, Lonely Planet, Fab.com, and many other household-name clients.
Our clients are developers, startups, independent retailers, international charities, major universities and global brands – our product touches the lives of tens of millions every day.
We’re CLEANING HOUSE and redesigning our platform from scratch – from a monolithic mashup, to a lean MICROSERVICE ARCHITECTURE.
