Launched in 2019, Taptap is tapping into a transformative shift in global finance : from banks to phones.

We’re an encouraging environment that values both teamwork and autonomy, and have many exciting upcoming challenges, including : scaling up to handle increased volume and complexity, improving UI and UX to drive growth and retention, building internal tools for our customer support and acquisition efforts, and much more!

Experience developing software in a collaborative, multi-functional, and fast-paced environment

Expertise building, maintaining, or working with a shared component library

Proficiency with React or React Native

Experience working on systems that have real-world performance and reliability constraints

Strong communication and ability to manage conflicting priorities, setting expectations with stakeholders and be a driving force

Ideally
