We’re on a mission to make digital payments more accessible in every corner of the planet. Through our innovative payment solutions we empower businesses of all sizes to access new markets and connect with more customers. Ant Group, PayPal, and Stripe are just some of the companies that depend on PPRO to accelerate their growth.

We take pride in our diversity, which comprises over 65 nationalities spread across 11 global locations, and while there are over 550 of us, we’re all united by a shared a passion for building – whether that’s trusted relationships with our customers, or next generation products that make payments simpler, faster, and more secure for everyone.

  • Share your knowledge and build creative solutions while helping the team evolve best practices

What we look for in you:

  • Results-orientation, collaborative, pragmatic, and with a continuous improvement mindset
  • Multiple experiences working with one or more general-purpose programming languages including, but not limited to Java

  • Event-driven architectures (Kinesis)
What's in it for you ?:

Hybrid working
- We offer flexible working, so you can strike the right balance between office and home working. That’s on top of our 25 days holiday allowance.

Insurance
- Because better safe than sorry - we want our employees to benefit from various insurances including a medical insurance (BUPA health care plan), a pension plan through Now Pensions and a travel insurance.

Free gym membership
- We’ll cover the cost of your gym, so you can look after your physical fitness (and your wallet too)

- We’ve teamed up with a top well-being platform to provide one-on-one therapy, chat therapy, therapist-led courses, guided meditations, and more.

Our HQ office
on Chancery Lane, is a short walk from Holborn, Farringdon and Covent Garden so if you’re a foodie there’s plenty nearby. The office is befitting a tech business and is set up for cross team collaboration. Critically there’s also a sun-terrace, and a well-stocked fridge.
