Types of projects we work on:

* We build and support PayPal’s SDKs (including Braintree and PayPal), which are the primary way for a merchant to accept payments on their websites and mobile apps.
* We are launching new and interesting ways to pay through our SDKs.
* We create easy-to-use developer tools that supplement our SDKs and Integrations.
* We are focused on improving the developer experience by engaging with the external developer community, creating tutorials, blogs, and speaking at conferences.
* Open dev days: every week we spend a day working on projects that interest us and help us expand our skills and knowledge.
