This week, we welcomed Detective Sergeants JC Ryan and Alan Lynch from the Irish Human Trafficking Investigation and Co-Ordination Unit (HTICU) to our office in Dublin 🇮🇪 Their session offered a powerful and eye-opening perspective on the realities of human trafficking and its impact on individuals, communities, and society as a whole. Their insights highlighted the critical role businesses like SumUp can play in supporting efforts to combat trafficking. By engaging with experts and deepening our knowledge, we strengthen our commitment to supporting Irish authorities and our EU partners in the fight against such crimes. Thank you to Detective Sergeants Ryan and Lynch for sharing their invaluable expertise. Together, we're committed to making a difference. #InsideSumUp #Fintech #HumanTraffickingAwareness

Meet Thiago Penna, a Staff iOS Engineer at SumUp in Berlin. With over a decade of experience in the tech industry, Thiago is at the forefront of developing and enhancing SumUp's online payment solutions 💳 "With a career spanning different roles and industries, including game development and education technology, I was intrigued by SumUp's size and the chance to see how writing and maintaining code changes at scale. Since joining, I've been impressed by the autonomy and trust given to engineers. This has allowed me to take ownership of projects and bring new ideas to the table. The culture of experimentation and learning from failure allows me to take risks and innovate without fear. SumUp has been incredibly supportive of my career progression. Starting as a Senior Engineer and moving up to Staff Engineer shows the company's commitment to my development. The opportunities for mentoring and cross-team collaboration have been invaluable. I've also had the chance to work on diverse projects outside my usual scope, which has helped me grow in different areas. Collaboration is a vital part of our work. In my multidisciplinary agile team, regular meetings and stand-ups ensure everyone's input is valued. This open communication culture means all voices are heard, and feedback is taken seriously. Knowing that we're constantly improving together makes our work more effective and meaningful." #WeAreSumUp #MobileDev #iOSDev #EngineeringCulture #Fintech

Meet Jordan Laudermilk, a Senior Onboarding Analyst based in Boulder, Colorado 🇺🇲 Jordan helps small business owners across the United States get started with SumUp's financial tools while ensuring new clients meet our security standards. "My journey to SumUp highlights how unique and supportive the company is. My background is in Human Resources Management, and before joining SumUp, I worked in staffing and software sales. When I interviewed here, I had no experience with onboarding. But instead of focusing on what I didn't have, my manager understood I had the necessary soft skills and mindset to help new merchants succeed. Interestingly, there are similarities between my previous roles and what I do now. Just as you assess the accuracy of a candidate's CV when recruiting or researching potential clients before making a sale, I apply the same critical thinking when evaluating and onboarding new merchants. While other companies might not have given me a chance to be interviewed, SumUp recognised my potential, and here I am almost 4 years later. I deeply value collaboration across different markets at SumUp. Our global teams' support is instrumental to our success in the US. It fosters a sense of belonging, making us feel part of one big team." #WeAreSumUp #Fintech #Boulder #SmallBusinesses

This year, we had the honour of hosting Hack Week 2024 at the iconic Pyramid of Tirana. This historic Albanian landmark was exclusively closed for our global engineering, product, and design community, providing the perfect location for a week of innovation, creativity, and collaboration. Under the theme "SumUp the Parts," teams united to merge SumUp products and services into pioneering solutions. With over 250 SumUppers from 16 office locations worldwide, Hack Week was about more than just hacking—collaborating across teams and bringing bold ideas to life. On the final day of Hack Week, we welcomed even more of our team members to join the celebration in Tirana before heading off to Dhermi on the Albanian seaside for a long weekend filled with fun, sun and team bonding 🌊🌞 Congratulations to all the winners and participants for their passion, dedication, and innovative spirit and for helping shape the future of SumUp! 🏆✨ #InsideSumUp #HackWeek #Fintech #Hackathon #Engineering #ProductDesign #Innovation
