    SINGAPORE-BASED ShopBack, which made its way up in the startup world with its cashback app, is looking to expand deeper into financial services and hire more staff in payments, compliance and engineering-related roles this year.

    The company said it hired over 300 employees to its team in the past 6 months, excluding staff added through the acquisition of buy now, pay later (BNPL) startup hoolah.

    ShopBack’s website lists 231 contract and full-time job openings across various roles, bucking the trend of massive layoffs that have afflicted the region’s tech scene as startups slash costs amid a downturn.
