ABOUT TAEKUS Taekus is a premium financial services company built for the affluent traveler. We offer core banking products (checking accounts, debit and credit cards) alongside a proprietary award travel booking engine that automates the search and booking of award flights with partner airlines using Taekus points. We've been operating for 6 years as a lean, profitable team of 25. We process $4B+ in yearly transactions, generate $120M+ in annual revenue, and are growing 2-3x yearly. We're ready to scale, and design is at the center of that. THE ROLE We're looking for a Product Designer with 5+ years of experience as part of our design team, reporting directly to design leadership. High-ownership, high-impact: you'll shape the visual and interaction experience across our web and mobile products, covering both banking and travel booking flows.

Our team travels and we take that seriously WHY TAEKUS * Real ownership over the product, not just execution * Profitable and growing with no runway anxiety * Remote-first; hubs in Chicago and the Bay Area * A team of travelers who actually use the product * Company offsites twice a year * Competitive compensation + benefits
