We help online businesses process credit card payments by providing a merchant account, payment gateway, recurring billing and credit card storage. We work with companies primarily based in the U.S. but do have several large international customers. We’re unlike others in the industry; we think and do things differently and are frequently told by our customers that we’re a breath of fresh air.
Braintree was founded in 2007, and we’ve grown faster than we ever thought possible. Our team is now nearly 20 strong, we’re profitable, and in 2009 we processed more than 1 billion in credit card volume. We are also a Level 1 PCI DSS provider. We are very fortunate to count among our customers some of the largest, most reputable, and fastest growing merchants in the U.S. We’ve worked unbelievably hard to deliver value and it’s paid off.
Individual talent and teamwork is very important to us. Since starting, our most significant achievement has been getting the right people on our team. We’re getting better everyday at improving our hiring practices, refining our core principles, and providing the right opportunities that drive enthusiasm. We believe that there are few things as rewarding as working with other highly talented people.
It’s not what we do that defines us, it’s how we do it. Principles drive behavior, and behavior creates culture. Principles we hold dear include excellence, self awareness / improvement, initiative / ownership, virtue, teamwork, and problem solving / creativity.

I love fixing things, piecing the puzzle, and working with small teams that get stuff done. I don’t get out nearly enough and am always in the middle of at least 6 books.
