We are committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. We actively work to drive out even unintentional discrimination in our hiring processes via practices like blindly graded work samples, structured interviews, and diversity awareness training. Due to the sensitive nature of what Spreedly does - handling payment data - finalist candidates must complete a successful background and reference check.
