Our mission is to ensure every SumUp employee can access the tools they need safely and efficiently.

Develop scripting and workflow tooling to reduce manual toil and increase reliability across the organization. Drive the adoption of AI-powered tooling to automate routine processes and scale the team's output beyond human hours.
