About the Role:

As an Engineering Manager at Tide, you will be responsible for building and running the products your team owns, covering everything our members need to run their business—from banking and payments to administration and operational tooling.

This role offers an exceptional opportunity to make a real difference by taking ownership of engineering practices in a rapidly expanding company! We trust and empower our Engineering Managers to make real architectural decisions that affect their domain and shape the future of Tide’s Platform.

We operate in domain-aligned full-stack teams that own products end-to-end. Engineers self-organise, collaborate on technical challenges, and define shared standards through Communities of Practice.

Responsibilities:

• Leading & directly managing a cross-functional team of 8-12 engineers
• Partnering with a Product Manager to form the Product Engineering Duo
• Deeply caring about what’s being built as much as the how
• Being responsible for the delivery of the team—quality, stability, timelines, dependencies
• Being responsible for tech excellence and architecture within the scope of the team
• Driving continuous improvement of team performance as measured by DORA
• Securing the continuous growth and wellbeing of the engineers on their team
• Being hands-on, carefully dividing your time between design, coding, and coaching other team members. You will be the person people turn to seeking advice and solutions to difficult problems.

What We Are Looking For:

• Extensive experience (10+ years) building server-side applications and detailed knowledge of Python, Java, C#, or another similar language
• Sound knowledge of a backend framework (e.g., Spring/Spring Boot)
• Experience with running microservices and implementing and consuming RESTful APIs
• Experience engineering scalable and reliable solutions in a cloud-native environment
• A mindset of delivering secure, well-tested, and well-documented software
• Full ownership of your code and technical solutions across their entire lifecycle—from development to production
• Experience integrating with various third-party providers and partners
• Sound knowledge and experience working with relational databases
• Ability to work effectively in an agile environment, using its practices to deliver value consistently and adapt quickly
• Ability to communicate technical concepts to a non-technical audience
• Apply continuous integration, delivery, and deployment practices in day-to-day development to deliver software reliably to production
• A technical hands-on leader who is in the details of what the team is working on day-to-day
• Experience leading teams
• Experience directly managing people

Our Tech Stack:

• Python, Java, Spring Boot, and JOOQ to build the RESTful APIs of our microservices (but we welcome people who are used to any strongly typed, general-purpose programming language!)
• Event-driven architecture with messages over SNS+SQS and Kafka to make them reliable
• Primary datastores are PostgreSQL via RDS or Aurora (we are heavy AWS users)
• Docker, Terraform, ArgoCD, and EKS provided by the Cloud team to run the platform
• DataDog for monitoring, observability, and automated SLOs
• GitHub, Semgrep, and solid testing to power the CI/CD pipelines—new joiners are encouraged to have something deployed to production in their first week
• Angular on Web, Flutter for our mobile app, but from time to time we use Swift and Kotlin
• Fivetran, BigQuery, Looker for BI insights, and Python/FastAPI/Faust plus some ML libs for automated decisioning and risk management
