About Stape

Stape is a global payroll and Contractor-of-Record platform helping companies hire, manage, and pay contractors worldwide - compliantly, on time, and at scale.

We operate at the intersection of FinTech, HRTech, and ComplianceTech, serving fast-growing startups and global teams across the US, EU, MENA, and LATAM. Our platform covers contracts, payroll, payouts, compliance, FX, and multi-rail payments in highly regulated, cross-border environments.

Your Mission
