About PayPal

PayPal is a leading global financial-technology company that enables digital and online payments for consumers and businesses around the world. Founded in the late 1990s and headquartered in San Jose, California, PayPal became one of the pioneers of online payments, allowing people and businesses to send and receive money electronically. After a period as part of eBay, PayPal became an independent, publicly listed company again in 2015, and it has since grown into one of the most widely used digital-payment platforms globally, with hundreds of millions of active accounts and significant technology operations including in India.

PayPal's core business is providing a trusted way to pay and get paid online and increasingly in person. Its platform allows consumers to make purchases, send money to friends and family, and manage their finances, while enabling merchants of all sizes to accept payments across websites, apps and other channels. The company owns a range of well-known brands and products, including Venmo, a popular peer-to-peer payments app, and Braintree, which provides payment processing for businesses, as well as services such as buy-now-pay-later offerings. This gives PayPal a broad presence across consumer and merchant payments.

Operating at the heart of digital commerce, PayPal handles enormous volumes of transactions and must do so with very high standards of reliability, security and fraud prevention. Trust is fundamental to its business, since users rely on PayPal to protect their money and data, and the company invests heavily in security, risk management and the technology that detects and prevents fraud. It also works within a complex web of financial regulation across the many markets it serves.

The digital-payments landscape is large, fast-moving and competitive, shaped by changing consumer behaviour, new technologies and evolving regulation. PayPal continues to invest in its platform, in new payment experiences, and in areas such as artificial intelligence and data to improve its services and combat fraud. Its scale and global reach make it a significant player in the ongoing shift toward digital payments.

For technology professionals, PayPal offers the opportunity to work on payments technology at global scale, spanning software engineering for high-volume transaction systems, risk and fraud prevention, security, data and machine learning, and the consumer and merchant products built on its platform. Engineers work on systems where reliability, security and performance directly affect whether payments succeed for hundreds of millions of users.
