TazaPay is Hiring DevOps Engineer
About TazaPay
TazaPay is a trade management platform for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to conduct cross-border commerce safely.
It will bring together the best technologies and financial services that are only available to the large companies today and make them accessible to the SMBs.
We are trying to address the unmet needs of millions of exporters and importers who not have access to the essential tools for doing cross-border trade such as trade protections via escrow, currency hedging and finance
Lack of trust is one of the biggest inhibitors for B2B cross border business. Buyers and sellers tend to work only with known and trusted parties thereby limiting their business opportunities. Our platform will enable access to various services for doing cross-border trade safely – such as counterparty risk assessment, trade assurance and trade protections via escrow
Our goal is to enhance trust in the trade process so that SMBs feel confident about doing more business with overseas counterparties
Our platform is cloud-based and easy to use. Our mobile and web apps simplify and digitalize every step of the process. Using our cloud-based platform, the SMBs can do more business with trusted parties in a trusted and convenient manner

We believe the world will look very different after this pandemic, as it did after the second world war and the financial crisis of 2008. We foresee a gigantic acceleration towards digitalization. Especially in the B2B space which has lagged behind B2C peers. But the pandemic will change that equation.
We are conscious of the challenges. But the most iconic companies are often founded in times of such upheavals. But we believe our odds are better because of the opportunity to configure ourselves at a very young stage for the new world without the pressure to defend existing revenue streams, headcount balancing or pivoting the business model. We are better prepared to seize the opportunities this new world throws at us.
