Monitoring Support Specialist – Remote-First

 Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays 
In today's digital world, payments often still feel outdated: random delays and confusing rules make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid. The European Payments Initiative (EPI) is here to change all that, forever. 

With Wero, our digital wallet, we make sending and receiving money simple, seamless and secure across France, Belgium and Germany, with more countries and omnichannel solutions coming soon. Supported by 14 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, EPI is building a new, proudly European payment system: easy, instant and transparent, all for the greater good.

 At EPI, we are on a mission to build and deliver a meaningful European payment solution 
that strengthens the European payment ecosystem. Acting as both bridge and builder, we aim to create a secure, innovative, and unified payment experience for consumers across Europe. 
This is your chance to join a transparent, collaborative, and open-minded organization 
that adapts to change and strives for excellence. 
If you're passionate about payments, thrive in technical problem-solving, and want to 
make a positive impact daily, then this role is for you. 

At EPI, we embrace a remote-first culture, enabling our teams to work remotely from the country they are based in, with in-person meetings at least once a quarter to foster collaboration and connection.
