Senior Full-stack Developer

About Mintago

Mintago (created by one of the founders of Perkbox) is a fintech wellbeing platform that helps companies and their employees save money. Our vision is to help improve society’s financial health. We do this by starting with pensions.

For employers (particularly small ones) pensions are costly and an administrative burden. For employees they are confusing, intangible and in most cases vastly underfunded. Mintago is changing this.

We start by giving small businesses the tools to make managing pensions less taxing (both from an admin perspective and quite literally saving them thousands in tax each year by implementing salary sacrifice). We then provide employees with simple and engaging tools that trace lost pensions, help them understand and plan for the future and manage their pension contributions, all within our platform.

Why join Mintago? We are a tech business but it’s really a people business. We care and are really excited about what we do for the world. We also look after each other as employee wellbeing is at the heart of our ethos. We have a great culture of working hard together while having fun. The founder and CEO, Chieu Cao, is also the co-founder of another successful business called Perkbox. We have a great team with the experience to make a big difference and a supportive investor base that includes UK & US VC funds along with high profile successful entrepreneurs.
