Global payments platform for education, healthcare, and B2B receivables
Flywire is a public payments company (NASDAQ: FLYW) operating a network that processes complex, high-value transactions across education, healthcare, travel, and B2B. The stack spans Ruby, Python, Go, React, and a modern data layer (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, dbt), paired with vertical-specific A/R software that embeds into ERP systems like NetSuite and SAP. Active hiring across sales, engineering, and finance—with leadership gaps in risk and accounting operations—signals scaling of both platform infrastructure and compliance rigor, aligned with projects around payment engine performance, SOX governance, and eSignature adoption.
