Our team, Soumers, have worked in over 14 countries from the US to South Korea. We are always on the look out for the best and brightest to join. We look beyond resumes and titles, we look for the innovators, the hungry, the go-getters. We offer them the autonomy to experiment, learn, fail, and grow. Every transaction on Soum is guaranteed; we hold funds until the item is delivered and confirmed by the buyer, thanks to our proprietary fulfillment and payment systems.
