Descrição da oferta de emprego

We’re on a mission to revolutionize financial services for managed service providers — one transaction at a time. By combining cutting-edge payment technology with deep industry expertise, we’re building something special. If you’re passionate about transforming how companies handle payments or building financial services for the future, you’re in the right place.

There is a critical gap in the market: offline, service-based businesses do not have access to the same payment innovations that other industries enjoy. We have set out to change this.

Today, we’re helping companies across North America streamline their payment processes, improve cash flow, and focus on what they do best – serving their customers. Our customers report cutting their accounts receivable time in half and reducing outstanding payments by up to 95%, transforming how they operate their business.

Our Values

Our values are not words on a wall – they are the principles that guide every decision we make and shape how we work together to serve our customers. These core beliefs define our culture and drive our success.

Transparency

We believe in radical transparency – both in our product and our company culture. This approach allows us to move quickly, innovate fearlessly, and build trust with our customers and each other.

Partnership

We're not just building software; we're partners in our customers' success. This partnership mentality extends to how we work with each other, tackling challenges and opportunities as one team.

We're students of our industry. Through monthly training sessions with business leaders and regular conference attendance, we stay connected to our customers' evolving needs. This commitment to learning extends to our personal growth – we are always seeking to expand our knowledge and skills.

Empowerment

We believe in ownership and providing equity ownership to every employee. Whether you're in development, sales, or operations, you have the freedom to take initiative and drive results.

Alternative Payments is in an exciting growth phase. With 30+ team members and counting, we’re expanding across all departments while maintaining our agility. Here’s what growth looks like at AP:

• Career Development: Our team members have grown from BDRs to AEs, and from individual contributors to team leaders. We believe in promoting from within and building leaders from within.
• Industry Leadership: We partner with industry leaders and invite them to meet with and speak to our teams. We encourage teams to attend conferences and develop powerful relationships with customers.
• Company Building: Every team member is part of our company building. Our company is run by the team and as new roles develop, you will have the opportunity to lead and build businesses.

Our Culture

Our culture combines extremely, high performance with genuine work-life balance:

Hybrid Philosophy

We value in-person time and get together monthly with our team, however, work is about impact, not location. We offer the flexibility to work from anywhere, while regular off-sites and conferences keep our team connected and collaborative.

Our team supersedes expectations and breaks boundaries to share knowledge, solve challenges, and drive innovation. Through monthly industry trainings and presentations, we maintain strong connections despite physical distance.

Diverse Perspectives & Thought

Our team spans multiple countries including the US, Canada, and Brazil, bringing together diverse backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. We believe this diversity makes us stronger and more innovative. Our families come from many more countries and these perspectives help shape our company.

What Our Team Says

"There’s a contagious energy across the team. We thrive on collaboration, and everyone is eager to jump in, share ideas, and help each other succeed while solving challenging problems."

Jeremy Noskin
Chief of Staff

"Working at Alternative Payments has been the most refreshing career experience."

We want our team to feel valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work:

Competitive Compensation

• Every employee is granted equity in the business
• Flexible PTO policy
• Vision coverage
