Sierra Castillo works as Head of Analytics at SumUp's Boulder office in Colorado. As a key member of the USA team, Sierra plays a vital role in driving SumUp's decision-making through data analysis, helping small business owners across the country succeed. "After graduating in mechanical engineering, I began my career in the automotive industry in California. While the work was interesting, I discovered that my true passion lay in data analysis. In 2021, I relocated to Colorado, and SumUp was looking for a data analyst. I knew it was a great opportunity and the ideal fit for me. I joined the company in October of that year. The Analytics team's mission is to provide the insights that ensure we're making the right financial, sales, and product decisions — and to help us quickly pivot when needed. What initially drew me to SumUp and continues to inspire me is the collective passion for levelling the playing field for small businesses and ensuring they have the tools to compete with larger corporations." #WeAreSumUp #DataAnalysis #InsideSumUp #Fintech #Boulder

🚀 Jakub Żmidziński, a Senior Android Engineer in Berlin, shares his journey, the unique experiences our engineers enjoy, and the real-life impact they have at SumUp by empowering small businesses worldwide. "After moving to Berlin, I was struck by the lack of widespread card payment options like I was used to back in Poland. SumUp's mission to make cashless payments more accessible resonated with me deeply, and I was excited to join the company to support this mission. Joining SumUp, I've seen firsthand how our work simplifies the lives of small business owners, enabling them to focus on growing their businesses. I'm always excited to see SumUp card readers in use worldwide. It's even more rewarding when I spot merchants using our app on the register and tablets—this reflects the advancements our team tirelessly works on to improve the check-out experience, such as revamping the navigation and enhancing the user experience on tablets, are making a real impact. Each interaction with SumUp merchants reaffirms the positive difference we're making in their businesses. SumUp has been instrumental in my career progression. Starting as a mid-level engineer, I was entrusted with more responsibilities and grew into a senior role within 1.5 years. This rapid advancement showcases SumUp's commitment to developing its employees' skills and careers. Hosting Mobile Chapter meetings has sharpened my presentation and knowledge-sharing abilities. Transitioning from the Platform Tribe to the Point of Sale (POS) Tribe furthered my growth as an independent engineer and involved me in shaping our team's future through the hiring process." #WeAreSumUp #MobileDev #Android #EngineeringCulture #Fintech

Alejandro Lopez is a Customer Service Expert for our UK-Ireland markets in the Barcelona office 🇪🇸, who also leads the Pride Club in Europe, SumUp's employee network for LGBTQ inclusion 🏳️🌈 "Since joining SumUp about a year ago, I've had many unique experiences that make my journey truly special. My initial impression during the job interview was already positive, as I was introduced to the company's values and vision in such a comprehensive way. This initial introduction was incredibly attractive and sparked my desire to join the team. From day one, I've been surrounded by a wonderful group of people who make working in a fintech company a lovely experience. I immediately felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and beliefs. My colleagues' respectful and positive attitude creates a safe environment that allows me to express my identity, ideas, and feelings openly. This inclusive environment has significantly contributed to my personal and professional growth. SumUp has been instrumental in supporting my career progression and personal development goals. Joining the Tech and Transaction team for the UK-Ireland markets has taught me how to deal with people and express myself assertively. As the leader of the Pride Club, I've developed my leadership skills and organised impactful events with the company's support. This role has allowed me to promote a positive mindset within our community while maintaining transparency and honesty. I also took advantage of our learning budget to explore data literacy. Although I realised it wasn't my passion, this experience helped me understand my true interests, steering me towards a path that brings me happiness and fulfilment. I'm grateful for the opportunity to explore different fields and discover my real career aspirations. Within my team, we collaborate closely to achieve our goals. Despite our diverse backgrounds, which can sometimes lead to communication challenges, we've created an environment where open dialogue and problem-solving are encouraged. Our management has been supportive in helping us navigate these challenges effectively. Working in the tech team has been a fantastic experience, and I look forward to continuing to grow with my team and overcoming any difficulties we encounter." #WeAreSumUp #PrideMonth #LGBTQIA #Fintech #InsideSumUp
