Your mission is to ensure our frontend ecosystem is a competitive advantage, providing the standards and tools that allow our product teams to build with confidence and speed.

You will lead a team of Engineering Managers and partner with a tenured community of Staff Engineers to solve our most complex technical challenges.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

As Director of Engineering, you own the technical direction and standards for Tide’s frontend. We are looking for a leader who is deeply engaged in the architectural health of our applications. You will be the primary advocate for a frontend stack that is performant, maintainable, and aligned with our commercial goals.

As Director of Engineering you will

- Architectural Advocacy: Partner with our Staff Engineers to drive a pragmatic frontend strategy. You will take a hands-on approach to identifying and resolving bottlenecks in our large-scale monorepo workflows, ensuring the codebase remains sustainable.
- Technical Stewardship & Efficiency: Advocate for the technical solutions that make the most sense for Tide’s business goals. You will evaluate our current stack and workforce model to ensure we are maximising engineering leverage without sacrificing the right tool for the job.
- Product Virtualisation & Observability: Advocate for systems that provide stakeholders globally with full visibility into the product experience across all configurations.
