Our Journey
ShopBack began in 2014 as a late-night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel — not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, with the first prototype built during a 24-hour sprint. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We're building The World’s Most Rewarding Way to Shop — and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.
ShopBack is achieving rapid growth in its core products while, in parallel, breaking new ground with the development of new product lines and strategic initiatives. One of these is the financial services vertical that has enjoyed early traction and is now being scaled across the region. We are looking to bring on board a fraud payments specialist - someone who is passionate about fighting fraud, identifying new trends/typologies, and implementing strategies to mitigate these risks.
This individual should be naturally curious and passionate about risk prevention: if something seems off, you want to investigate what’s going on and solve root problems.
