Payment orchestration platform connecting merchants to multiple gateways
Spreedly operates a payment orchestration platform helping merchants and marketplaces integrate with multiple payment services without building custom connections. The tech stack—Ruby/Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, Kafka, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, CockroachDB—reflects a mature, data-intensive infrastructure built for high-throughput transaction processing. Active projects reveal a sales-driven scaling phase: growing a $40M+ revenue base, modernizing architecture, and launching go-to-market infrastructure, while pain points around scaling account management and renewing high-value customers signal a shift from land-and-expand toward retention and upsell.
Spreedly provides a payment orchestration platform enabling merchants to connect once to multiple payment gateways rather than maintaining separate integrations with each provider. The platform handles payment method vaulting, PCI compliance, and multi-gateway routing to optimize transaction success rates and reduce payment stack complexity. The company serves online merchants and marketplaces, ranging from SMBs to enterprise retailers, and operates in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. With 51–200 employees and an accelerating hiring velocity (11 roles posted in the last 30 days), the organization is primarily expanding sales and marketing capacity to drive new customer acquisition and retention.
Spreedly's backend runs on Ruby/Rails and Elixir/Phoenix, with messaging via Kafka and RabbitMQ. Data storage uses PostgreSQL and CockroachDB. Infrastructure is hosted on AWS and Heroku. Frontend uses JavaScript, TypeScript, and Vue.
Current projects include growing a $40M+ customer base, scaling high-throughput payment processing, modernizing architecture, expanding go-to-market infrastructure, and protecting renewal revenue through improved account management and customer retention initiatives.
