About the role

The Platform Engineering team builds the tools, infrastructure and ‘golden paths’ that let Tide’s engineers ship safely and quickly. We own everything from CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling to Tide’s service catalogue, including the Developer Productivity function, and our mission is to make the right way the easy way for every engineer at Tide — human or AI agent.

What you would do

- Own the Developer Experience strategy for Tide, setting the vision and roadmap for developer tooling, CI/CD and the internal platform.

- Lead the design, build and continuous improvement of CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling, reducing friction and lead time across the software delivery lifecycle.

- Define, track and report on DevEx and engineering productivity metrics (e.g. DORA, SPACE), using data to identify bottlenecks and prioritise investment.

- Own and evolve Tide’s service catalogue (Backstage), establishing it as the single source of truth for the ICT Asset Register and driving adoption across engineering.

- Manage the Developer Productivity function, responsible for building and maintaining Java/Spring and Python ‘paved road’ templates that give product teams a fast, secure and consistent way to start new services.

- Own the internally developed libraries for authentication and other common functionality, ensuring they are well documented, kept up to date, and widely adopted across product teams.

- Build, lead and mentor a team of platform, developer experience and developer productivity engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, craftsmanship and continuous improvement.

- Prepare Tide’s engineering platform for agentic development, ensuring our tooling, paved roads and guardrails allow AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code) to contribute safely and effectively alongside human engineers.

- Define the platform, tooling and operating model for running AI-developed applications in production, covering observability, security, testing and governance for agent-authored code.

- Partner closely with engineering leaders, security and compliance stakeholders across Tide’s product and platform teams to identify friction points and shape the platform roadmap.
