About us

At GoCardless we believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid. We also believe that bank account data is a powerful tool to make better, faster decisions. We’re making it easy to use both- for businesses everywhere.

GoCardless is used for domestic and international payments by 85,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries. We are headquartered in the UK, with additional offices in Australia, France, Latvia and the United States.

Billing & Revenue Team

We, GoCardless, make it easy for merchants to collect their revenue but we don’t excel at collecting ours… or at least not yet. That’s where Billing & Revenue comes in. As a Group we exist to take the pain out of getting paid for GoCardless.

Working closely with our finance and pricing teams, we want to set the standard for how a business gets paid and build systems that allow us to collect our revenue in an automated, scalable and efficient way. We want to provide the right tools to our colleagues to enable them to do more, act smarter and go faster whilst at the same time play a big role in the company strategy to enable us to grow efficiently.

Some of the projects that you could be working on include integrating with a billing vendor, building a new pricing system to enable new pricing capabilities and contribute to the scalability of GoCardless’ core product. By doing so you’ll get to work with Golang, Ruby on Rails, Postgres and Google Cloud Platform.
