Work Arrangement

Remote (Worldwide) — Americas

Team

Team size: 6. Structure: engineering teams

What you’ll do

  • Lead one of our engineering teams (we currently have six).
  • We're hiring for multiple teams—Banking and Prepaid Cards—and will match you to the team where your strengths will have the most impact.
  • Grow your engineers' careers through 1:1s, thoughtful feedback, and coaching.
  • Own technical quality — through code reviews, architecture decisions, and setting standards your team is proud of.
  • Report to our Director of Engineering, Chloe

How we manage at Tremendous

  • We coach developmentally, not reactively. Growing our engineers is a multi-month effort, not a response to the last incident. We address patterns, not one-offs.
  • Fix what's broken. You and your PM decide how your team works. If the process isn't serving you, change it — you don't need permission.
  • Async-first, low-meeting culture. We default to writing things down. You will not be stuck in back-to-back meetings.
  • Stable ground to build on. Our infrastructure is reliable, we rarely have incidents, and our tech debt is under control. You'll be leading a team that ships — not one stuck firefighting.

What you’ll bring

  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering, including at least 2 years leading a team as a manager or tech lead.
  • Great technical judgment. You are consistently right on technical approaches, and can explain why.
  • Strong communication skills. You can write technical briefs and explain technical concepts to cross functional stakeholders.
  • Solid product intuition. You generally have a good sense of what to build and can articulate product initiatives to engineers on the team.
  • Lead on AI adoption. You use AI heavily in your own work and help your team do the same — without lowering the bar on quality. "I used AI" is never an excuse for slop, and you'll hold your team to that.
  • A magnet for talent. Other engineers and teammates love working with you.
  • High empathy. You care about your teammates and our users. You can put yourself in their shoes.
  • Our stack: Ruby on Rails; Typescript + React; PostgreSQL; Google Cloud. Tech stack knowledge is a plus, but not required.

What’s cool about the role

  • We invest in your tools. Everyone has a $5k/month budget for AI tools. Use it.
  • Competitive pay and equity. The base salary for this role is $250,000 to $300,000.
  • Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the Americas.
  • Great culture. Read more about how we work in our public handbook.
