Boku jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Boku connects digital merchants to the local payment methods that their customers use, through a single API. These include wallets, bank transfers, buy now pay later, and carrier billing. It supports 200+ methods in 60+ countries. Spotify, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix, and Tencent use it. It also runs subscription bundling with partners, and moves money across borders.

What they value

• Customer focus: take on the hardest problems of merchants and own them.
• Know the impact: move fast, use data, and own the result.
• Operate as one: share what you know and challenge each other directly.
• Unleash ingenuity: question how things are done and take informed risks.
• Sharing knowledge freely.
• Ownership of complexity on behalf of merchants.
