**About the team**

Our team is a small and specialized group of developers, focused on the processing of various payment methods within our stable of products. However we try not to limit our developers, and are keen to promote multiple development languages and skills, to allow developers to transition between teams and products, and expose them to all the tech stacks we offer.
