About Teya

What we do

We exist to serve local businesses. Our mission is to make the small guy feel big. In this case, we are referring to small merchants. We want to offer the most functional, cost effective, beautiful set of software (and hardware) to enable any small merchant anywhere to accept payments and run their business with ease.

Local businesses play a vital role in our economy and community. Making up more than 99% of European businesses and 67% of European jobs, they're at the heart of everything we do. Every time we spend money at a local business, we’re bringing an entrepreneur’s ambition closer to reality and contributing to the growth of a community. As a society, we take for granted how much impact these businesses have on the livelihoods of our communities, and they deserve better.

Fundamentally, the current payment service model is broken. Today, local businesses spend lots of time adapting to the growing needs of their customers, but the solutions available to address their needs are overwhelmingly focused on helping those who command the biggest budget. When it comes to accepting payments, complex pricing structures, hidden fees, and long contracts make it very difficult for small businesses to operate day-to-day.

Why work for us

We are founded by high net worth individuals (not VC's or heartless PE funds or corporates) with a passion for this vision and the company we are creating. The skill level and experience of the current core team is immense. We have all done something similar before, but not like this, and not with this level of tactical hindsight and funding. We are going to be a force to be reckoned with. Some of our perks/ benefits include:

• We trust you, so we offer flexible working hours, as long it suits both you and your team;

• 25 days of Annual leave (+ national public holidays);

• Frequent team events & activities in the office and outside;

• Possibility to travel to different offices around Europe;

• You'll get a competitive salary and you will join the Universal Teya Stock Option Plan (USSOP) from your first day. The USSOP gives all employees the chance to be actual company owners;

• Friendly, comfortable and informal office environment;

• We want to have the best people by our side, so we can help you to relocate to a different country, and we can sponsor visas;

• Access to O’Reilly content for training; learning initiatives in-house and external conferences, etc.; and course sponsorships
