We've grown into one of the fastest-growing fintech companies out of the Nordics and Denmark's fastest unicorn company. Today, we're more than 2,000 colleagues across Europe, building products that make a real difference for our customers.

About the job

Flatpay has become one of Europe's fastest-growing payment companies by helping merchants accept card payments in-store.

Our Point of Sale system serves as the central engine of the business. It streamlines the merchant's entire workflow — from order taking, product and inventory management, to payment processing, reporting, and compliance.

Some of the core capabilities include

• Product catalogue: Organizes how they manage their products, categories, modifiers and inventory
• Order management: Basket, pricing, discounts, payments and managing tables and long-running orders among groups of customers.
• Hardware integrations to barcode scanners, receipt and kitchen/bar printers and our different Mobile-, Premium- and Basic POS devices. No least manage synchronicity across multiple POS systems at shared locations in realtime.
• Our reporting suite ensures cash management, end-of-day reports, various sales, turnover, staff, tax and compliance reports that enables merchants to optimize their business and comply with local tax regulations.

As our merchants grow, so does the platform. Every new market introduces new payment methods, fiscal requirements and merchant needs. Every new feature increases the depth and complexity of the product. And with our customer base doubling approximately every six months, the demands on scalability, reliability and performance continue to grow.
