Who we are:

At TrueLayer, we’re building the future of payments. We’re on a mission to take on outdated payment methods with a solution designed for today’s online, on-demand economy. By removing friction at the heart of commerce — the payment — we’re making it faster, safer, and smarter for everyone.

To date, we’ve raised $300 million from world-renowned investors including Stripe, Tiger Global, Addition, and Tencent. With offices in London, Milan, and Dublin, we’re trusted by industry leaders like RyanAir and JustEat Takeaway. But this is just the beginning.

We’re reimagining how the world pays, invests, shops, and saves. We’re transforming payments for industries like e-Commerce and iGaming, redefining what’s possible with technology and innovation. Now, we’re looking for people who are ready to help us build a brand that changes an industry.

Description

First impressions are crucial. The Experience Design team (XD) owns TrueLayer’s public website, and the team is responsible for a lot of people’s first impressions of the brand. As TrueLayer scales at lightning speed across the world, the number of first impressions we’re responsible for grows by the day. Our job is to create fresh, immersive and captivating experiences that communicate what we do and how we’re changing the way the world pays.
