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 our new Prepaid Cards team. Prepaid cards are one of Tremendous's largest catalog categories, already processing millions of cards a year. We're expanding into new card types and new countries, and need an EM to build and lead the team as we do so. - 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 https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-i-76116089/ 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 $180k - $240k. - Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the Americas. - Great culture.
