Please DO NOT apply if. . .

You’d feel like a fish out of water without a well defined traditional corporate structure
You’d consider taking out the trash as being below you
You’re accustomed to using the phrase “it’s not part of my job description”

Please DO apply if. . .

You have experience with this kind of position (this is not an entry level position)
You’re a doer – not a manager, a coordinator, or an idea person – but someone who loves to get stuff done, and done well
You are a “go to” person because you’re reliable, creative, resourceful, a good decision maker, and generally one of the most capable people your peers know
You’re accustomed to a small company environment including wearing many hats and managing way too many things at any given time
You’re articulate, persuasive, and tech savvy (this does not mean familiarity with Microsoft Office)
Your friends and former employers would gush about you and your awesomeness

What we do. . .

We help businesses process credit card payments by providing a merchant account, payment gateway, recurring billing and credit card storage. The company is disrupting the payments industry by providing elegant tools for developers coupled with white-glove support. We’re unlike others in the industry; we think and do things differently and are frequently told by our customers that we’re a breath of fresh air.

A few things about us. . .

We were founded in 2007, and are very fortunate to count among our customers some of the largest, most reputable, and fastest growing merchants in the U.S such as: LivingSocial, 37signals, OpenTable and GitHub. Our team is now over 45 strong and the company is on track to process more than $4 billion in credit card volume in 2011 from more than 2,000 merchants. Braintree was profitably bootstrapped for four years before accepting a $34 million investment from Accel Partners in 2011, and Braintree was ranked 47th in the 2011 Inc. 500. We’ve worked unbelievably hard to deliver value and it’s paid off.

Our appealing work environment includes highly competent co-workers, competitive pay, engaging work, casual dress, flexible schedule, full health, vision and dental benefits, and 401k with employer match. We have a dart board, foosball table, and bags (corn hole) in the office. We work very hard and have a lot of fun. We thrive on doing things better, more efficiently, and smarter. We are a flat organization. We don’t have an employee hierarchy or official job titles (you choose your own). We don’t have a vacation policy; we trust people to get their work done and maintain a proper work life balance. We’re not looking for people who want to move into management because we don’t have it.

We have unusually high expectations of our people. Here are some characteristics that we value in each other…

1. Self management: both hands are firmly gripped on the steering wheel
2. Ownership: I’ve got it, you don’t need to think about it
3. Initiative: getting things done without the slightest nudge
4. Virtue: honesty, good deeds, kindness, and appreciation
5. Problem Solving: nothing that can’t be solved and improved
6. Team work: we before I
