ABOUT TIDE
At Tide, we are building a business management platform designed to save small businesses time and money. We provide our members with business accounts and related banking services, but also a comprehensive set of connected administrative solutions from invoicing to accounting.
Launched in 2017, Tide is now used by over 1 million small businesses across the world and is available to UK, Indian and German SMEs. Headquartered in central London, with offices in Sofia, Hyderabad, Delhi, Berlin and Belgrade, Tide employs over 2,000 employees.
Tide is rapidly growing, expanding into new products and markets and always looking for passionate and driven people. Join us in our mission to empower small businesses and help them save time and money.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Our 40+ engineering teams are working on designing, creating and running the rich product catalogue across our business and enablement areas (e.g. Payments Services, Admin Services, Ongoing Monitoring, etc.). We have a long roadmap ahead of us and always have interesting problems to tackle. We trust and empower our engineers to make real technical decisions that affect multiple teams and shape the future of Tide’s Global One Platform.
We work in small autonomous teams, grouped under common domains owning the full lifecycle of products and microservices in Tide’s service catalogue. Our engineers self-organize, gather together to discuss technical challenges, and set their own guidelines in the different Communities of Practice regardless of where they currently stand in our Growth Framework.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Full Stack Engineer at Tide, you will be a key contributor to our engineering teams, working on designing, creating, and running the rich product catalogue across our business and enablement areas. You will have the opportunity to make a real difference by taking ownership of engineering practices and contributing to our event-driven Microservice Architecture, which currently consists of over 200 services owned by more than 40 teams.
- Design, build, run, and scale the services your team owns globally. You will define and maintain the services your team owns (you design it, you build it, you run it, you scale it globally)

- Learn and share knowledge with fellow engineers, as we believe in experimentation and collaborative learning for career growth.
- Have the opportunity to join our Backend and Web Community of Practices, where your input on improving processes and maintaining high quality will be valued.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR
- A sound knowledge of a backend framework such as Spring/Spring Boot, with experience in writing microservices that expose and consume RESTful APIs. While Java experience is not mandatory, a willingness to learn is essential as most of our services are written in Java.
- Experience in engineering scalable and reliable solutions in a cloud-native environment, with a strong understanding of CI/CD fundamentals and practical Agile methodologies.
- Have some experience in web development, with a proven track record of building server-side applications, and detailed knowledge of the relevant programming languages for your stack. Strong knowledge of Semantic HTML, CSS3, and JavaScript (ES6).
- Solid experience with Angular 2+, RxJS, and NgRx.
- A passion for building great products in small, autonomous, agile teams.
- Experience building sleek, high-performance user interfaces and complex web applications that have been successfully shipped to customers.
- A mindset of delivering secure, well-tested, and well-documented software that integrates with various third-party providers.
- Solid experience using testing tools such as Jest, Cypress, or similar.
- A passion for automation tests and experience writing testable code.
OUR TECH STACK
- Java 17, Spring Boot and JOOQ to build the RESTful APIs of our microservices
- Event-driven architecture with messages over SNS+SQS and Kafka to make them reliable
- Primary datastores are MySQL and PostgreSQL via RDS or Aurora (we are heavy AWS users)
