They are a payments processor, like Shopify. They make physical card readers, with a focus on small retailers, restaurants, nail salons, small time family businesses. Some up-market support. Also e-commerce products that compete more closely with Shopify.

They also build cash app, a competitor to Venmo. They have investment and banking and tax products.

They also have some crypto side projects and own tidal.

Re:Show HN: I wrote a book on writing good developer resumes on Wednesday October 14, 2020 @08:00PM (#24783200)
I used to work at one of those ATS companies, and our resume parser specifically looked for keyword stuffing like that, where people would fill the white space with keywords in white font. These get marked as keyword stuffed. Though what our clients did with those resumes I have no idea. We once had one that was about 20 pages long, just every skill you can imagine, one after another white text on white field. It actually caused a downstream issue when the parsed resume data was too big lol
