Web Frontend Engineer

About MCard Technologies

As homeowners ourselves, we know that buying and owning a home isn’t always how we imagined it—it’s harder and more expensive than most homeowners expect. Led by a team of world-class credit and fintech operators from Ramp, Goldman Sachs (Marcus), Power Finance, Bain Capital, JP Morgan Chase, and Yieldstreet, we are reimagining the homeownership experience to save homeowners time and money. Starting with bringing rewards to mortgage payments, we have ambitious goals to create a homeownership and financing ecosystem tailored to the American homeowner. Our first product is a consumer credit card made for homeowners.

Funded by top VCs including Jump Capital, Village Global, Recharge Capital, and Soma Capital, we are mission-driven and hungry to make an impact. If this resonates with you, let’s talk!

We’re headquartered in New York City, with team members all over the country and globe.
