About Tunic Pay🎽
At Tunic Pay, we’re building the future of safe payments. Fraud costs UK consumers and businesses billions each year — and the payment experience is broken. We’re here to fix that, starting with trust during the transaction. Our product helps people know who they’re really paying, right at the point of payment — so that confidence, not fear, defines online payments. We started the business in November 2023 when we closed our Seed Round, and are already working with some of the biggest banks in the UK to make this a reality. 🧤 We believe in strong in-person collaboration so are requiring 3+ days a week jamming together in our London office (Farringdon).

The hard skills we’ll value
As we look at profiles, here’s what we’ll be scanning for:
Not got 100% of qualifications? Research shows that women and under-represented minorities are less likely to apply for a role if they do not have 100% of the requirements. We’re paying attention to this, so please feel free to apply regardless if you’d like to discuss if there’s a fit.

This business needs creativity – we value well-channelled positivity (and the discomfort of ideation!) above intellectual scepticism.

Change, and speed, is the only constant.
We prize flexibility and velocity. We don’t overpromise on a single strategy or career path. Nor do we value effort (sorry!). Instead, we are focused on outcomes + efficiency⚡

Straight-shooters.
