Designer – Web

Join our dynamic front-end design team, where creativity meets optimization. We’re looking for a designer who appreciates the aesthetics of typography, colors, and branding, and understands the importance of web standards and optimization to create engaging web experiences.

We’re not just building a fintech company; we’re creating an adventure. This journey requires innovative minds who are ready to think outside the box to craft delightful, inclusive experiences for customers across 170+ countries.

The opportunity

• Collaborate with designers, researchers, product managers, content specialists, and engineers to create high-quality, delightful experiences
• Contribute to the creation of engaging web experiences and marketing pages designed to drive customer engagement and conversion
