Puzzl

API that automates instant payroll.

Description

Puzzl's (Y Combinator S19) Payroll API enables companies to create a custom end-to-end payroll experience, fully automate their back-office operations, and helps workers get access to their entire paycheck the same-day.

We are hiring our founding Spartan Full Stack Engineer— Puzzl's first full stack engineering role. You may work in-person (SF) or remotely until end of COVID. Note: We do not provide sponsorship for employment visas.

In our current world:

• 50% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and still have to turn to overdrafts, payday loans, and credit card debt because of a delay in payment.
• Powerful companies in the gig-economy will be required to transition their workforce to W2 employee status for compliance reasons, and are lacking the proper tools to create compliant speed-of-payout processes.
• Enterprises have to hire lots of back-office personnel to do menial data-work to process payroll for their workforce.
• This procedure is time-consuming, expensive, and results in a lot of processing errors, especially for industries with a high volume of shifts and workers.

Puzzl's Solution

• Stripe-like API that automates payroll processing
• Workers get their entire payroll the same day, for free
• Here are a few example use cases of our Product:
  1. Gig-Companies can use Puzzl's API to process instant payroll for their workers directly on their proprietary app.
  2. Fast-food chains can connect all of their onboarding, scheduling, and POS tools to process instant tips, and daily payroll for their workers.
