About the Team

As Nasi Goreng is to the people of Indonesia, our Payments Engineering team is to Gojek:
providing the nourishment to sustain our business from the inside out. We run and oversee one
of Southeast Asia's largest merchant platforms, e-money wallet platforms, and Indonesia's
leading digital payments provider. Some of the businesses we empower include Tokopedia,
Google, Disney+, McDonald's, Blibli, Jd.id, and Kitabisa.

Our service is now accepted at over 300,000 online and offline merchants in Indonesia alone,
with our ecosystem processing US$6.3 billion of annualized Gross Transaction Value in 2018.
But, the growth of Payments does not stop here. We are hungry for more. We intend to become
the largest payment and financial services group in Southeast Asia. It's our job to ensure that this
number grows, and more importantly, that anyone utilizing our platform is given the most
seamless payment experience possible. How does one achieve this, you may ask? By
collaborating diligently with our users to understand the daily obstacles they face in the payment
arena, then crafting our products and services to aid these issues.

As a team, we’re concerned not only with the growth of the company, but each other’s personal
and professional growths, too. Along with a common drive to jump over technical barriers and
provide sustainable solutions, our team bonds over our shared love for tea, movies, and TV
shows. With WFH becoming more normalized, you best believe we’ve been sharing our favorite
ways to prioritize a healthy work-life balance at home (Netflix, anyone?😜).
