Airwallex
Runs global payments and accounts for businesses
Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own.
We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,700 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do.

Mindset
Sharp thinking and judgment: Think critically, connect patterns and apply sound judgment to complex situations.
Willingness to learn: Stay curious, seek feedback and continuously develop your craft.
Winner mindset: Set a high bar, compete with determination and take ownership of outcomes.
Go deep: Understand the details, ask thoughtful questions and get to the root of a problem.
Getting things done: Move with urgency, follow through and turn plans into results.
Comfort with ambiguity: Thrive in a newly formed team, adapt to changing conditions and create structure while the playbook is taking shape.
Trusted cooperator: Build trust internally and externally, collaborate generously and bring positive, grounded and approachable energy.
Resilience: Stay composed through setbacks, ambiguity and changing priorities while continuing to move forward.
You have a track record of hitting your numbers, and you’re motivated by stretch goals.
You’re excited by a category that hasn’t been won yet, and want to be early enough to shape it.
You’re comfortable with ambiguity. Give you a problem, not a prescription, and you’ll run with it.
You’re comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and moving quickly anyway.
You communicate clearly and directly across cultures, and you’re thoughtful about how context shifts meaning across borders.
Enterprise Business is about more than closing deals. This team helps large, often multinational organizations solve complex financial challenges that go well beyond a single product decision — moving money globally, managing treasury operations, embedding financial services across borders, and replacing fragmented financial workflows with one global system built to scale. You’ll be helping customers understand what is possible when their financial operations work as one global system.
It's a team for strategic sellers with a builder mindset, who combine strategic thinking with deep product knowledge: comfortable with long deal cycles, multiple stakeholders, and the kind of autonomy that comes from being trusted to create value, shape the deal, and move complex opportunities forward rather than follow a rigid playbook. If you want to work on high-consequence deals that genuinely change how large businesses operate financially, this is the place to do it.

Its multi-currency accounts let customers receive and hold money locally, then pay overseas suppliers without converting every sale into their home currency. Businesses also use its corporate cards and expense controls to manage spending, while online sellers accept customer payments through its checkout tools. Finance teams work in a web app, and developers embed the services in other software; Airwallex earns transaction fees and charges for paid software plans. Founded in Melbourne in 2015, Airwallex has dual headquarters in Singapore and San Francisco.
