About Us

sunday is building the fastest, simplest way to pay in restaurants. With a quick scan of a QR code, diners can pay, tip, and leave in about 10 seconds. We believe great products should feel obvious, not complicated, and we focus relentlessly on keeping things simple while earning trust from restaurants and guests at every interaction. Today, sunday powers payments in thousands of restaurants across the US, UK, and France, helping operators turn tables faster, increase tips, and unlock valuable insights. We push ourselves to go beyond what's expected, building with ownership, moving fast, and scaling with ambition as we tackle our biggest growth opportunity in the US.

About the Role

This isn't a support role. You own it end-to-end.

From the first intake call to the signed offer, you'll drive full-cycle recruitment across the Tech function. You'll work directly with our hiring managers and the People team to understand what we need, move fast, and bring the right people in.

You'll also help us raise the bar on how we hire, shaping the candidate experience, building pipelines, and making sure every touchpoint with sunday feels intentional.
