MadRewards / Savers App

Senior Frontend Engineer

Remote

I ship the consumer, partner, and hosted surfaces of a card-linked offers platform — the same product family that powers Savers Club, SaveMate, and white-label partner programs.

• Built and evolved the native Savers Club app and the hosted React Native Web experience at m.saversapp.com, including map clustering, session bridges, and travel SSO.
• Shipped the white-label SaveMate cashback portal: geo-aware routing, multi-tenant branding, PWA, and the full member journey from discovery to claims.
• Owned partner and operator tooling — Stripe-backed program onboarding, brand kits, reporting, RBAC, and a TipTap-powered admin CMS.
