Director of Product, Payments Platform

Description Appcharge is the direct-to-consumer platform for mobile games. We help game studios sell digital goods directly to their players - skipping the 30% store commissions from Apple and Google. That means more revenue for studios, and a closer connection to the players who love their games. Appcharge powers web stores and in-app payments for over a third of the world’s top-grossing mobile titles. Backed by $89M from leading investors and publishers like Supercell and Playrix, we’ve grown 14x in the past year and now process over a billion dollars annually. We’re growing fast, building with intention, and helping the biggest names in gaming take back control of their business.
