Tremendous is profitable and growing without outside investors. We’re a fully remote, high-documentation, low-meeting culture, which means more time for what matters in both your professional and personal life. The team agrees– our employee NPS is in the high 80s.

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.
