Team manager also awaits you to join

Hi, I’m the CFO, and I’m looking for a Payment Manager who enjoys bringing structure and clarity into payments – and isn’t afraid to improve things along the way. For me, this role is about ownership: working with PSPs, keeping an eye on costs and approvals, spotting where something can work better, and helping us make it happen. You’ll have room to suggest ideas and shape how this area evolves. I appreciate proactive people who think in numbers but stay practical. If you like responsibility without unnecessary bureaucracy – I’d be happy to talk 🙃

Spacers reviews on working in TS

I’ve been working at Trading Space as a Tech Product Manager, and honestly, it doesn’t feel like “just a job.” What I love most is that it’s not a company obsessed with processes, but a company that truly cares about people. The communication is amazing, the team is full of real experts, and everyone is so supportive and kind — total sweethearts!

Trading Space is a rare find where they understand that happy developers create better products. Here, they care about technological growth and personal comfort. You feel like a true professional. All of this creates an atmosphere of mutual respect and motivates you to do your best.

I’ve been working at the company — with some short breaks — since its very beginning. Over the years, I’ve witnessed incredible growth: the team has expanded, new products have been launched, and everyone has grown both professionally and personally. Most importantly, we’ve managed to preserve the warm and friendly atmosphere within the team.

There are companies where you just work, and there are companies where you live. And it's not hard work, not “oh God, it's Monday again,” but enjoyment, a cool atmosphere, and a team that's great to be with. I'm glad I 'm here!

I have been working at Trading Space for over 2 years, and looking back, I don’t regret a single minute spent in the company. At first, I was simply happy about the fully remote format, but I quickly realized that the company has an incredible number of advantages — from a friendly and supportive team, teambuilding events, courses, and lectures to constant bonuses for your contribution and sometimes just for being part of it. If you want to work, grow personally and professionally, and be part of something bigger than just a company for work experience, this is the perfect place.
