Software Engineer, Internal Tools

Taekus is a profitable fintech and travel startup building a next-generation premium banking and rewards ecosystem for affluent customers. With $70M in annual revenue and $3B+ in annual transaction volume, we’re entering a new stage of growth focused on scaling our core banking systems, rewards infrastructure, and partner integrations.

We’re seeking a Full-Stack Software Engineer to help design, build, and scale our internal systems to support our company's scaled growth. We need to iterate on our admin portal to accommodate the massive scale of our customer based and our client services teams.

We are looking for an engineer with experience building internal portals utilizing various low-code platforms such as Retool or Appsmith that can be built upon by our non-technical team members.

Join us as we tackle a $3.2T opportunity to redefine the super-premium financial services and rewards market—driving innovation beyond what’s existed since the inception of rewards credit cards
