Big banks were slow, their products weren't fit for purpose, and small business owners often couldn't access what they needed. We set out to fix that.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Today we're a financial platform - not just a credit card company. We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable. We’ve done a pretty good job so far, but we’re just getting started! </span></p></div><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">🏢This is a Hybrid role, working from our Porto (Matosinhos) Offices 2 days per week.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Salary: €70,000 - 85,000</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">What You’ll Be Doing </span></strong></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We're looking for an Engineering Team Lead to lead one of our product engineering teams here at Capital on Tap.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This is a people-first leadership role. You'll be responsible for the growth, wellbeing, and performance of a team of engineers, while staying technically credible enough to shape direction, remove blockers, and raise the bar on quality.
