Pay It is a fast-growing Gov Tech company on a mission to modernize how residents interact and transact with government, improving the customer experience and helping our client agencies more efficiently and effectively achieve their missions. Our easy-to-implement platform consolidates government services and payments into one connected experience and enables our clients to drive resident trust, collect revenue quickly, and redeploy their staff to more important challenges.

This innovative approach to government service delivery has garnered significant recognition in both the public and private sectors, including our inclusion in the Gov Tech 100 every year since 2017. Pay It solutions cover services including hunting and fishing licensing, DMV, courts, property tax, utilities, tolling, and more.

Our culture welcomes people who exhibit what we call "Pay It DNA":

We have ambitious scaling goals, and we look for team members who are ready to roll up their sleeves, solve problems, and find new opportunities to win with our clients.

And we have a lot of fun together.

Support Engineering is the technical layer between our government clients and the platform that serves millions of their residents. We reproduce and diagnose real bugs, dig through APIs, logs, and data to find root causes, and turn what we learn into fixes, documentation, and clearer answers for the people relying on us.
