OUR TECH STACK:

• Java, Spring Boot and JOOQ to build the RESTful APIs of our microservices (but we welcome people who are used to any strongly typed general purpose programming language!)
• 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)
• Docker, Terraform, EKS used by the Cloud team to run the platform
• DataDog and Rollbar to keep it running

That includes context, orchestration, tool execution, trust controls, observability, and evaluation. You will participate in key build versus buy decisions, integrate external components where they accelerate us, and ensure we own the parts that matter most for Tide’s trust, data advantage, and long-term platform leverage.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Define the architecture for Tide’s agentic platform
• Drive the design of shared services such as context APIs, tool layers, policy controls, and auditability
• Partner with product, data, security, and engineering teams to turn use cases into reusable platform capabilities
• Set standards for reliability, safety, scalability, and developer experience
• Provide technical leadership across teams and unblock critical decisions
• Implement cost-management and routing logic to optimize LLM spend across different providers
• Design and build automated evaluation pipelines to measure agent reasoning accuracy and safety trajectories

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Deep experience building platform or infrastructure systems at scale
• Strong judgement across APIs, distributed systems, data, and cloud-native architecture
• Track record of leading complex cross-team technical problems
• Experience integrating third-party platforms without losing control of core architecture
• Strong understanding of reliability, security, and observability
• Experience with AI platform components is valuable, but not essential
• Experience in highly regulated industries (Fintech, Healthtech, etc.) where safety and compliance are core to the product is highly desirable 

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

This role will help determine whether Tide builds isolated AI pilots or a reusable platform that compounds value across productivity, risk, and connectivity.

OUR TECH STACK:

• Java, Spring Boot and JOOQ to build the RESTful APIs of our microservices (but we welcome people who are used to any strongly typed general purpose programming language!)

• Contribute to our event-driven Microservice Architecture (currently 200+ services owned by 40+ teams). You will define and maintain the services your team owns (you design it, you build it, you run it, you scale it globally)
• Use Java 17, Spring Boot and JOOQ to build your services.
• Expose and consume RESTful APIs. We value good API design and we treat our APIs as Products (in the world of Open Banking often times they are gonna be public!)
• Use SNS+SQS and Kafka to send events
• Utilise PostgreSQL via Aurora as your primary datastore (we are heavy AWS users)
• Deploy your services to Production as often as you need to (this usually means multiple times per day!). This is enabled by our CI/CD pipelines powered by GitHub with GitHub actions, and solid JUnit/Pact testing (new joiners are encouraged to have something deployed to production in their first 2 weeks)
• Experience modern GitOps using ArgoCD. Our Cloud team uses Docker, Terraform, EKS/Kubernetes to run the platform.
• Have DataDog as your best friend to monitor your services and investigate issues
• Collaborate closely with Product Owners to understand our Users’ needs, Business opportunities and Regulatory requirements and translate them into well-engineered solutions

• Have some experience building server-side applications and detailed knowledge of the relevant programming languages for your stack. You don’t need to know Java, but bear in mind that most of our services are written in Java, so you need to be willing to learn it when you have to change something there!
• Have a sound knowledge of a backend framework (e.g. Spring/Spring Boot) that you’ve used to write microservices that expose and consume RESTful APIs
• Have experience engineering scalable and reliable solutions in a cloud-native environment (the most important thing for us is understanding the fundamentals of CI/CD, practical Agile so to speak)
• Demonstrate a mindset of delivering secure, well-tested and well-documented software that integrates with various third party providers and partners (we do that a lot in the fintech industry)
