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 75,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries. We’re an award-winning London based fintech, with additional offices in Riga, Paris and Melbourne.

The role

Your mission is to manage the technical and tooling capabilities of our front-line Operations teams, focusing on optimising and improving team efficiency. The teams you support will include Customer Operations, KYC and Compliance, and Internal Operations (Billing and Credit Control).

Our technologies

We endeavour to build simple, reliable systems and believe in using the best technologies for each task. Joining the team, you'll be working with Zendesk, Tymeshift, Salesforce, Looker, Qualtrics, Formassembly, and Ruby (to overcome any system limitations).

You're not expected to have expertise in all these technologies. Our team members picked up the tools once they started working with the team. If you're unsure, but you’ve got a broad base of experience with other SAAS tools, please apply.

What excites you
  • You’ll help grow and maintain the internal systems, codebases, and tools being used, ensuring these systems are integrated where required.
  • Create, own, and maintain technical process documentation.
  • Work with Operations leaders to identify inefficiencies in team and cross-functional processes and take ownership of improving these.
  • Be the technical voice for Operations across all other tech functions to enable us to understand how our tooling interacts across the lifecycle. 
  • Work with other tech functions on supplier integration, sundown, and implementation projects focusing on the technical impact of Operations tooling.
What excites us
  • You’ve worked with Zendesk (omnichannel) and Qualtrics as an admin
  • You're able to utilise APIs where necessary to overcome system limitations
  • You’re familiar with version control tools e.g. Github
  • You’re an experienced Salesforce engineer
  • You’re curious and need to understand how everything fits together. If someone can’t tell you the answer, you’ll find a way to figure it out
  • You have a proven record of improving internal processes, demonstrated by cost reduction, better customer experience and efficiency improvements
  • You’ve written code in Ruby

We don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.
