About Tremendous
What is Tremendous?
Tremendous is the global payouts platform that makes it easy for businesses to send rewards, incentives and disbursements to anyone, anywhere. As the company puts it, "Tremendous makes it easy for organizations to reward people" — letting customers send money, prepaid cards and gift cards to recipients worldwide. It's "the global platform built for businesses to send thousands of payouts to anyone, anywhere, for free," trusted by 20,000 organizations including Atlassian, MIT and United Way to deliver rewards to millions of recipients. Researchers, marketers, HR teams, nonprofits and platform businesses use Tremendous to handle everything from research incentives and referral bonuses to employee rewards, customer rebates and contractor payments. Co-founded by Nick Baum and Kapil Kale in 2010, Tremendous is profitable and "growing fast with no outside investment" — it bought out its original investors in 2013 and has been owned by founders and employees ever since.
Where will I work?
Anywhere in the Americas. Tremendous is "100% remote, with employees logging on to work from multiple continents," and is "Fully remote, meaning that there's no Tremendous office or headquarters." Job postings make the policy explicit: "Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the Americas." Rather than an office, the team comes together at company offsites held twice a year (Q1 and Q3), with travel, lodging and meals covered.
What is the Tremendous team like?
The team has "grown to 150+ employees spanning three continents," and it runs on three core principles: autonomy ("We empower people to make decisions and get things done"), intentionality and rationality. It's "a fully remote, high-documentation, low-meeting culture" — meetings "aren't the default unit of work," with written communication preferred because "it scales well in a remote environment, leaves a paper trail, and preserves our calendars." The company is recognized externally too: Tremendous is Great Place To Work-Certified, with 98% of employees saying it's a great place to work, and was named to Great Place To Work's Best Small & Medium Workplaces in NYC in 2025.
Work-Life Balance
Tremendous is built so people have "more time for what matters in both your professional and personal life." The low-meeting, documentation-first culture protects deep-work time and keeps calendars clear. Time off is unlimited — the careers page lists "unlimited vacation days," and the handbook is direct that "You're expected to take vacation." Parental leave is substantial at 12 to 16 weeks fully paid.
Perks and Benefits
Compensation is strong and equity is shared widely: the company offers "competitive salaries" plus "substantial equity packages to employees at every level." Health coverage is "100% covered health (US)." Employees get unlimited PTO and 12–16 weeks of paid parental leave. The team gathers at semi-annual, company-paid offsites at a boutique hotel (everyone gets their own room). And the whole company operates remote-first, so you work from wherever you are in the Americas.
