Senior Frontend Engineer
Job Description
Tazapay is founded by 3 seasoned professionals with extensive experience in payments, ecommerce, technology, cross border trade and high growth technology businesses. The company is financially backed by the likes of Sequoia Capital, Saison Capital, RTP Global etc.
We https://tazapay.com/ are a Singapore-based b2b and payments startup enabling small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to conduct cross-border commerce securely. We believe the world will look very different after this pandemic, as it did after the second world war and the financial crisis of 2008. We foresee a gigantic acceleration towards digitalization. Especially in the B2B space which has lagged behind B2C peers. The pandemic will change that equation.
We are conscious of the challenges. The most iconic companies are often founded in times of such upheavals. We believe our odds are better because of the opportunity to configure ourselves at a very young stage for the new world without the pressure to defend existing revenue streams, head count balancing or pivoting the business model. We are better prepared to seize the opportunities this new world throws at us.
This is an amazing opportunity for you to join a fantastic crew before the rocket ship launch. It will be a story you will carry with you through your life and have the unique experience of building something ground up and have the satisfaction of seeing your product being used and paid for by thousands of customers. You will be a part of a growth story be it anywhere - Sales, Software Development, Marketing, HR, Accounting etc.
We believe in a culture of openness, innovation & great memories together.
