Meet Tuza

Tuza is building an exchange for payment pricing to give businesses access to the most competitive rates for their payment terminals. Changing payment providers is broken: a cornershop turning over £300k a year could save £5k+ a year by changing payment provider, but they don’t.

For SMBs, it’s lengthy, lacks transparency, and often costly to switch. For providers, finding customers and helping them switch is manual and old-fashioned. It’s an industry crying out for change.

Tuza turns a week-long switching process into minutes, giving business owners their pick of the best rates from the likes of Worldpay, Barclaycard, and Natwest, saving them thousands of pounds a year in the process. All at zero cost for the business owner.

And the really exciting part? Later in 2024, we’re launching our own card machine. It’ll be the first card machine where you can change bank, without changing device. We’re bringing the unlocked phone-moment to card payments. With Tuza, you’ll never need to feel the pain of switching again.

We’ve raised £5.5m+ (shh not public yet) from exceptional fintech investors, including Northzone (original backers of Zettle, Trustpilot, Klarna) and Connect (first investor into Typeform, Citymapper). Angels are from Apple, Stripe, Visa, Wise etc.

Square, Sumup and Zettle have been hitting small businesses for years, but struggled to break into the 1m+ retailers who do £200k to £10m in annual card turnover. It’s this group that have been neglected by the banks, and we’re excited for you to help us transform their experience with payments.

We think you’d be an excellent…

first design hire on the team, leading our product design function. We really value good design, but as a small team have often been stretched on meeting our expectations via freelancers. Your job will have three main focuses:

• Steady the ship: turn our current UI into an experience we’re all proud of

• Design our terminal interface: design the UI thousands of people use to pay every day

• Help prepare us for a re-brand in 9-12 months time

You’ll work with the CTO and product & engineering teams to deliver experiences that are valuable, usable, accessible and feasible.

What we need from you:

• You have experience building beautiful products

• Ability to deliver high-quality and consistent UI across web and mobile product interfaces

• You’re opinionated about product: you care about the experience our users have, and will hold engineering to account when production doesn’t look like Figma.

• You move fast, own decisions and get Sh*t done.

• You build strong working relationships. We place empathetic communication, constructive feedback and a growth-mindset at the heart of our culture.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary

• Generous equity linked to your salary

• You should always have the headspace to perform your best at home and work, so we have an unlimited holiday policy with an expected minimum of 24 days. You’ll also get £350 Airbnb credit to take a break you might not have done otherwise.

• Comprehensive health insurance

• Pension

• Creative office space in Spitalfields, London with free breakfast twice a week

We’d love to discuss you joining the team.

We’ve been on the other side of the table: recruiters who waste your time, job offers that don’t materialise, and technical challenges that you don’t even get feedback on.

So here’s the process:

1. Apply here!

2. 30 min intro call

3. If we think the role is a good fit, we’ll send over a design challenge (sorry). If you think you have a Figma project that proves you’re a great fit without a need for this, let us know.

4. We’ll do a 90 minute final session, ideally in person (Spitalfields, London). In this, you’ll meet the team and have 2-3 final interviews.
