Mid Level Product Engineer; React Native

Overview

What’s Yonder? We’re building the financial membership of the future. One that works for how you live now. Not how your parents banked in the ‘90s. Yonder combines credit and debit in one membership, designed to be fair, flexible, and actually enjoyable to use. No confusing terms. No dusty points system. Just rewards that actually feel rewarding - from bao to beer to a boarding pass.

We raised £23.4M in September 2024 to grow the team, launch even better rewards, and expand beyond the UK. If that sounds good to you, you’ll probably like it here. 🎉
