In 2018, Zettle became part of the PayPal family. Zettle is on a mission to help Small Businesses succeed in a world of giants. Millions of Small Business Owners worldwide are still being underserved by the traditional players. By giving them the tools to get paid, sell smarter and grow, we are empowering them to reach their full potential. Together, we’re extraordinary. Together, we’re made for more.

Small minds never helped small businesses
At #ZettlebyPaypal, everyone believes that it takes originality and an open mind to start a small business. That’s why, even if we take pride in how far we have come, we have no intention of sticking to known patterns or old truths.
To carry out our revolution and help business owners to thrive, we rely on dedicated Teams embracing the opportunity to openly discuss and challenge each other on the best way forward. In other words, we co-elaborate, co-own our successes as well as our setbacks, and make sure to learn and grow together.
A glimpse of what you would get here
Part of our Money Alliance, the Hardware Team has for core mission to take care of the low-level integration aspect for all the PoS hardware that Zettle provides, from card readers to receipt printers, or barcode scanners.
Broadly speaking, we work on delivering the foundation for other Teams to build upon.

The traits to exceed
No need to say that besides being rewarding, developing Products that can make a positive impact is hard work! That's why we are looking for purpose-driven individuals who will find our journey as exciting and fun as we do.
To be successful and flourish in this role, it certainly takes to genuinely enjoy being part of a Product Team taking pride in delivering best-in-class solutions. As a colleague you are communicative, approachable, and always willing to share your knowledge and experience.
Last but not least, you feel comfortable considering multiple points of view and facilitating trade-offs on something that will eventually be put out into the world for someone else to use and experience.
