What is Nuvei?
Nuvei is a global payment technology company built around a modular, end-to-end platform. Businesses use it to accept and process payments online and in-store, move money out through a full suite of payout solutions, and manage fraud and compliance risk, all connected to customers across more than 200 markets, with local acquiring in 53-plus markets, 150-plus currencies, and 720-plus alternative payment methods. Nuvei was founded in 2003 in Montreal by Philip Fayer, who continues to lead the company as Chair and CEO. The company had been publicly traded (as Nuvei Corporation) before being taken private in a roughly $6.3 billion all-cash deal at $34.00 per share, announced in April 2024 and closing in early 2025, led by Advent International alongside existing Canadian shareholders: Philip Fayer (about 24%), Novacap (about 18%), and Quebec's CDPQ pension fund (about 12%). Nuvei employs roughly 2,719 people, with its workforce concentrated in the United States, Canada, and Bulgaria, alongside other international offices.
Mission & values
Build the infrastructure for every payment, everywhere, so businesses can accept and move money across markets, currencies, and payment methods with one platform.
Qualifications
Nuvei hires across the functions of a large, global payments company. On the technical side: software engineering (backend, frontend, full-stack, and the high-availability infrastructure that processes payments at scale), data engineering and analytics, and security engineering, critical given the volume and sensitivity of payment data. Because it operates as regulated financial infrastructure across many markets, it hires heavily in risk and fraud management, compliance, and legal, alongside payment operations. It also hires product management, sales and account management (working with merchants and platforms), customer support, partnerships, finance, and people functions. Application flow lives at nuvei.com/careers. The company hires across the US, Canada, Bulgaria, and other international markets; some roles are remote or hybrid and others are tied to an office, and work authorization requirements depend on the country, so check each posting. Experience in payments, fintech, or large-scale transaction systems is a strong signal for technical and risk roles.
