Have you ever worked for a company that actually wanted you to bring your whole self to work every single day?

About Tradeshift
Tradeshift is a unicorn in the fintech industry. We are disrupting a typically stagnant environment by connecting companies of all sizes and providing them with the platform and network needed to create value from old processes like procurement, invoicing, payments, and workflow. We recognize that business is both messy and social - two revelations that have driven the development of Tradeshift, a platform for all your business interactions.

Tradeshift is looking for a Staff Engineer to join the Tradeshift Engage organization in Global Product and Engineering. This means being a technical leader with architectural ownership; mentoring and inspiring colleagues and setting technical direction. You will act as an internal and external evangelist and represent Tradeshift in conferences, the blogosphere and relevant open source communities. In this role you will stay closely connected to our technology and products and make code contributions for the strong team you will be part of, as well as for company wide projects.

Engage is at the core of Tradeshift’s strategy to grow the size of the Tradeshift network exponentially and leverage and monetize the network effects of buyers and sellers transacting through our platform. With Engage, our mission is to offer immediate and tangible value to our sellers even before they are part of our network. We build end user experiences that span seller engagement, seller onboarding, and integrations with our other network and enterprise product offerings.

We are a small team of about 15 people with a charter to move fast while staying aligned with enterprise-grade product standards - it's fun and exciting!

Location
Our office in Copenhagen has a palpable excitement that stems from the constant change that keeps everyone on their toes. Each employee has a voice, and their hard work pays off. No good work goes unnoticed. 

Culture 

In 2011, three Danes walked into a garage and decided to create a platform that would connect every business in the world. Ambitious? Yes, stubborn? Definitely, bored? Never! We expect each of our employees to approach their work with the dedication, imagination and pride—just like we do. One day, you might find us locked in a heated Zoom, lunch break edition of Cards Against Humanity, and the next we’ll be handing off projects to colleagues in different time zones to keep momentum going round the clock. That’s just how we roll. 

We come from all different backgrounds and places and thrive off of challenging the status quo. We inspire each other every day to be happy, grow personally and professionally, and welcome new teammates from all walks of life.
