We’ve done a pretty good job so far, but we’re just getting started!  🏢This is a Hybrid role, working from our Porto (Matosinhos) Offices 2 days per week.   What You’ll Be Doing    We're looking for an Engineering Team Lead to lead one of our product engineering teams here at Capital on Tap. This is a people-first leadership role. You'll be responsible for the growth, wellbeing, and performance of a team of engineers, while staying technically credible enough to shape direction, remove blockers, and raise the bar on quality. You won't be the best coder in the room you'll be the person who makes the whole room better. If you're an experienced Team Lead Engineer looking to own a team in a scaling fintech, this role is built for you.   WHAT YOU'LL OWN Your team. Hiring, developing, and retaining engineers. Running 1:1s that actually matter. Spotting who's ready to grow and creating the space for them to do it. Delivery. Partnering with Product and QA to plan and ship reliably not by micromanaging, but by removing obstacles, managing risk, and keeping the team focused on what matters. Culture. Setting the tone for how the team communicates, gives feedback, and holds itself accountable. Building psychological safety without sacrificing standards. Technical credibility. You won't be heads-down in the codebase every day, but you'll understand the trade-offs your team is navigating architecture decisions, technical debt, build vs buy and contribute meaningfully to those conversations.   WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Leadership first. You've managed engineers before and have a point of view on what good looks like. You know how to have hard conversations, give developmental feedback, and motivate people. Technical foundation in .NET. Our backend is C#/.NET Core and you'll need enough depth to earn trust with your engineers, review decisions, and spot risks. You don't need to be across every layer of the stack you need to be honest about what you know and curious about what you don't. Product mindset. You think about engineering in the context of business outcomes, not just technical correctness. You can push back on scope, advocate for quality, and translate between engineering and non-technical stakeholders. Comfort with ambiguity. Capital on Tap is growing. Priorities shift. We want someone who creates clarity for their team rather than waiting for it.   NICE TO HAVE * Experience with Azure cloud development * Familiarity with React or other frontend frameworks * Background in financial services or fintech   Diversity & Inclusion 🌈 We welcome, consider and encourage applications from anyone who shares our commitment to inclusivity.
