About the Company

ABOUT US

Supertab is a patented payments platform that can help supercharge the way customers buy digital goods and services. By aggregating purchases of any size, including micropayments and fractional payments, Supertab makes tiny payments possible.

We provide a suite of micropayment tools to monetize digital content and services simply and easily. We work with small and large partners to offer access to content across the web. Our backend manages our partners, merchants and customers.

HOW WE WORK

Supertab is a team of 20+ people spread over 13+ countries in time zones from UTC-8 to UTC+2. We value your work more than your presence at a desk by 9am. Most of us work Monday to Friday, 7ish to 4ish UTC together in Slack. Working hours are flexible but we expect you to overlap for at least 4 hours between 9am and 4pm UTC. We aim for asynchronicity, but still need some "synchronicity" to work well.

We’ve been a fully distributed organization since our founding, and we’re pretty proud of the supportive remote culture we’ve created. We use Slack as our office, Jira for transparency and organizing work, and video calls for real-time collaboration (and just to hang out face to face).

Our company values are:

• Be fearless. Be entrepreneurial.
• Simplify things.
• Own your decisions. Your successes. Your mistakes.
• Enjoy diversity and inclusion.
• Work as a team. Trust each other.
