WeGift
Now more than ever, people want every experience to be instant and on-demand. And when it comes to getting paid, people want their cash yesterday. But every year organizations waste time, money and energy sending more than $20 trillion in payouts to individuals using cash, checks, credit, debit, prepaid and gift cards! Held back by the legacy banking systems, crushed by the costs and complexity of credit cards there is this monster industry still lingering in the digital dark ages. At WeGift we're changing all that. We've built our own proprietary payment rails that enables any organisation to send money to any individual, anywhere, instantly. No bank account required. No insane interchange fees. We even get up to 20% in commissions from retailers for driving sales which we pass onto our customers. It's discounted money! We're throwing away the old model, and transforming how we move and use money forever. To give a few recent examples of new features: WeGift Select - This allows us to give the customer choice, and therefore go beyond simply reselling gift cards and towards our strategic vision of helping value to flow more freely in the global economy. This project was technically challenging due to a requirement for it to work across a wide selection of devices. Self-serve brand on-boarding - WeGift is growing rapidly, which means we have to challenge ourselves to use technology to give a great experience to our brand partners without them needing a lot of support from the customer success team. Ongoing integration with gift card processors - Right at the heart of WeGift's operations, this technology needs to scale seamlessly and maintain high standards of reliability, maintainability and security. We're also constantly asking ourselves how we can make this process more efficient - how can we make a capital investment now to reduce operational spend in the future, and that in turn requires a creative take on the underlying technology. Future projects you might be involved with include: Continued development of our infrastructure. We pride ourselves on being at the cutting edge, and want to stay that way, for example, how can we make it even easier to get new functionality quickly into the hands of our customers? Technical resilience. As we become more integral to our customers' businesses, how can we make sure that we can continue to serve them even when there are technical or logistics issues upstream? We want amazing people like you to join us and be part of that journey. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
