Team Lead Software Engineer

Capital on Tap is seeking an Engineering Team Lead to manage a product engineering group within their expanding fintech platform. The day-to-day responsibilities center on people-first leadership, including hiring, developing, and retaining engineers while ensuring their wellbeing and performance. You will conduct meaningful one-on-one meetings, identify growth opportunities for team members, and partner on delivery to remove blockers. Although you are not expected to be the most skilled coder in the group, you must remain technically credible to shape technical direction and maintain high quality standards. The role requires an experienced Team Lead Engineer who is comfortable owning a team in a scaling financial technology environment. The advert does not specify particular programming languages, tools, or formal qualifications. There are no stated language requirements for this position. The working arrangement begins as fully remote but will transition to a hybrid model once the new Lisbon office opens, requiring two days per week on-site. This opportunity is designed for a leader who wants to make the entire team better rather than just focusing on individual coding output. It suits candidates looking to join a profitable company with over a thousand employees and a strong customer base, helping to shape how the new Lisbon team builds, hires, and operates from the start.
