ABOUT THE TEAM

The Accounts team is the platform layer behind how members open, manage, and understand their accounts at Tide. It owns account opening, regulatory compliance, account management, account switching (CASS), and the full transaction experience: the timeline at the centre of the app, transaction details and counterparty information, transaction history, statements, and exports. Every member who opens the app and looks at their balance or recent activity relies on this team. Tide is a global product used across regions, so the team works with different banking partners, regulatory regimes, and account structures, and it sits on top of Tide’s core ledger.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As an Engineering Manager at Tide, you will lead the Accounts team. You will set its technical direction, own its delivery and reliability, and grow its engineers across backend, mobile, and web.

This is a product-facing platform team. A large share of the work shows up directly in the app, so you will work closely with product and design. It is also a financial system: a transaction that renders wrongly, a statement that does not reconcile, or an export that misses a record is a correctness problem, not a cosmetic one.

Leading the Accounts team across backend, Flutter mobile, and Angular web, setting its technical direction and holding it to delivery.
Defining and maintaining the interface with the ledger: what the ledger guarantees, how Accounts services consume it, and who owns which data and schemas.
Owning account opening, account management, and account switching (CASS), including the regulatory compliance that comes with them.
Owning the member-facing transaction experience end to end: the timeline, transaction details, counterparty information, transaction history, statements, and exports.
Setting technical direction for services that are read-heavy, data-rich, and tightly coupled to the app: performance, pagination and search at scale, data consistency with the ledger, and long-term architecture.
Owning system stability and operational reliability for your services: SLOs, observability, on-call practice.
Partnering with product, design, compliance, and operations to make sure what we ship is accurate, supportable, and compliant across all markets.
Growing engineers at every level, across backend, mobile, and web. The team spans early-career through senior.
Partnering with other teams at Tide that build on the Accounts platform, such as investment accounts and savings accounts, so the platform meets their needs.
Aligning with other EMs across Banking on shared platform and infrastructure decisions.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Experience and background

Meaningful engineering management experience. You have led teams through real delivery, not just been a strong tech lead. What matters is the quality of that experience, not the number of years
