Technical Talent Sourcer
About Knot
Knot’s mission is to empower consumers and businesses alike with connected merchant and banking experiences. Knot is like “Plaid for merchant connectivity.” We are building the platform connecting merchants to the many applications that consumers and businesses interact with everyday. Our flagship CardSwitcher product allows consumers to instantly update & manage their cards on file with online merchant accounts (e.g. Netflix or PayPal), while newer products like TransactionLink support the retrieval of item-level transaction data. We are building many new products on top of our novel merchant connectivity platform and we hope you choose to come build them with us!
Founded in 2021 by Thiel Fellows and brothers Rory and Kieran O’Reilly, Knot powers seamless payment experiences for hundreds of thousands of consumers. Companies like American Express, PayPal, OnePay, Current, BILT, and Step embed Knot in their apps to deliver best-in-class user experiences.
Knot is proudly backed by Nava Ventures, 8VC, American Express, Plaid, and the founders of Twitter, Warby Parker, Intercom, Casper, Italic, Deel, DraftKings, and many more.
