In the Global Bank tribe, we aim to create a business account for SumUp’s customers (our merchants) across the globe that offers services and products that are accessible to all and are offered in a fair, transparent and honest way.

Hire. Yes, we are constantly growing and you will also be part of the onboarding of engineers;
