Team Lead Software Engineer

<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>We’re Capital on Tap 👋<br></strong></span><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">💳 Capital on Tap started because small businesses were underserved. 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>We opened our first Portuguese office in Porto in autumn 2025, and in less than a year it has grown to a team of 50. Lisbon is the next step. We're opening our first office in the city and looking for engineers to join as founding members of the team, helping shape how we build, hire and work here from day one.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">🏢</span>The role starts out fully remote. Once our Lisbon office is open, it will move to a hybrid set-up of two days a week on site.</p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Salary: €70,000 - 90,000</span></p> <p> </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><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. You won't be the best coder in the room you'll be the person who makes the whole room better.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you're an experienced Team Lead Engineer looking to own a team in a scaling fintech, this role is built for you.</span></p> <h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold"> </h2> <h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What You'll Own</span></h2> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Your team.
