Our Mission

Reduce inequity by helping immigrants move money home, and become the leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets.

The Team

Founded by Harvard grads / 3rd-time founders — also founded Segovia (successful exit) and GiveDirectly (>300M revenue, fastest-growing NGO). Top performers from top and varied organizations (e.g., Bain, Bolt, Google, McKinsey, SafeBoda, Uber, Zipline). Driven by mission, guided by values. Team as global as the mission, >30 languages from 25 countries (i.e., if you’re interested in learning to make Chicken Moambe, we’re the place).

About Us

Taptap Send is backed by top VCs (Spark, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital, etc.), rapidly growing and a great place for those looking for both impact and a fast-paced tech startup environment. Read more about the journey in Reid Hoffman’s words or TechCrunch article. Launched in 2019, Taptap is tapping into a transformative shift in global finance: from banks to phones. This has been a revolution for emerging markets where the majority could not access digital finance previously. We enable immigrants to send money home instantly with no fee, saving money for users. Our mission is to reduce inequity by helping immigrants move money home, and become the leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets. This is just the beginning.

Note: We charge fees for transfers on fixed exchange rate corridors (e.g., XOF, XAF).

Our Investors

Spark Capital, Canaan, Reid Hoffman, Breyer Capital (Jim Breyer), Unbound, Wamda, Firstminute Capital, Slow Ventures, Helios Partners, Crossbeam Ventures, Nikesh Arora, Samih Toukan, and other context-specific angels.

Role

We’re looking for an experienced, top performing Senior Product Designer (UX and UI) to join our team. You will create simple and effective product journeys to bring the Taptap Send brand to life. Simple, no-hassle, and trust-worthy — with moments of delight. This role is ideal if you have deep empathy for users (or are one yourself) and experience designing beautiful consumer mobile products. You should be comfortable working cross-functionally in a rapidly changing start-up and adopt an ownership mindset. You’ll work within our Product team across engineering, growth, and go-to-market to take new products and features from ideation to launch.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience designing consumer app(s); bonus points for Fintech
• End-to-end UX skills with an intuitive sense for simplicity
• User obsession
• Strong instincts for when to go deep on user research vs. quick build and iterate
• Ability to build and work with design systems
• Exceptional attention to pixel-perfect detail
• Brand, graphics, and/or animations skills a major plus
• Comfort working closely with engineers to ship designs
• Willingness to flex schedule for meetings outside your time zone (e.g., mornings in US, evenings in UAE)
• Based in London or NY
