About Us

Taekus is a 5-year-old luxury financial services company that offers travel rewards credit cards, debit cards, and other banking services for affluent travelers. We provide core banking services with next-gen technologies and have unprecedented access to award ticket inventory through our airline partners. Our brand is luxury while our ethos is tech. We have a lean team under 20 employees and are undergoing 300%+ year/year growth. We have processed over $3 billion dollars and operate as a highly profitable company.

The Role

As a Senior Frontend Engineer at Taekus, you will be responsible for taking designs from the design team and bringing them to life in React.

We care deeply about the sleekness and usability of our web portal -- that’s one of the key ways we stand out against the bigger banks with travel rewards. After all, one of the reasons that traditional credit card rewards are so hard to maximize and use properly is a convoluted user interface.

We want to deliver a travel rewards credit card experience that is intuitive and actually helpful to the user so they never have to worry about whether they're getting the best points deal.

The role will require you to:

• Collaborate with designers & engineers to scope out features and product direction

• Participate in code and design reviews to ensure quality and good architecture

• Write maintainable, clear, well-architected code, tests, and documentation

• Discuss and set architecture standards and patterns for our frontend which will be adopted by others as we scale

• Make direct technical contributions as well as provide guidance to team members

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably at a startups or big tech company

• Experience building production-grade software in our tech stack: React/Typescript/Redux

• Experience building very aesthetic UI with high-quality UX.

• Experience interacting with databases, directly with SQL and through APIs

Nice to Haves

• A love of travel (hacking) and credit card rewards

• Experience leading engineering teams and setting design standards and patterns in code

• Experience with Django, Python, Expo Go, and Postgres

• Experience writing code in a heavily regulated industry like financial services

What we offer
