Tide is hiring a Senior Staff Software Engineer to lead the architecture of our agentic platform. You will shape the shared capabilities that allow AI systems to operate safely, reliably, and at scale across Tide. 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.
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
Deep experience building platform or infrastructure systems at scale
Strong judgement across APIs, distributed systems, data, and cloud-native architecture
Experience with AI platform components is valuable, but not essential
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!)
Primary datastores are MySQL and PostgreSQL via RDS or Aurora (we are heavy AWS users)
GitHub with Sonarcloud, Semgrep and solid testing to power the CI/CD pipelines - new joiners are encouraged to have something deployed to production in their first 2 weeks
Angular 2+ with ngrx on Web, Flutter for the Mobile App
Fivetran/Snowflake/Looker for the BI insights and Python/Faust/Flask/Tecton + some ML libs for the automated decisioning and risk management
