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 3+ 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.

UX matters, but visual quality is non-negotiable here. Our customers expect a premium experience, and the bar for design polish is high.

What You'll Work On

  • Designing web and mobile experiences across banking features (accounts, cards, transactions) and travel features (award search, booking, itineraries)

  • Owning the design process from early concepts to polished, production-ready UI

  • Extending and evolving our design system, raising consistency and quality as the product scales

  • Translating Taekus brand identity into UI so the premium feel comes through in the product

  • Light brand and marketing support: you'll occasionally pitch in on brand assets or visual direction, without it taking over your time

  • Collaborating closely with engineering (React/TypeScript) and product to ship high-quality work

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of product design experience, ideally in fintech, travel, or consumer apps

  • A strong portfolio with exceptional visual design sensibility; we want to see polished, beautiful work

  • Experience designing for both web and mobile (iOS/Android)

  • Proficiency in Figma

  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, lean startup with high autonomy

  • Bonus: personal interest in travel hacking, points, and miles. 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
