The posting

We’re Capital on Tap 👋 💳 Capital on Tap started because small businesses were underserved. Big banks were slow, their products weren't fit for purpose, and small business owners often couldn't access what they needed. We set out to fix that.

Today we're a financial platform - not just a credit card company. We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier.

1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable. We’ve done a pretty good job so far, but we’re just getting started!

Cloud Platform Engineering / Platform Operations 🚀

As the Cloud Platform team scales, we are evolving our infrastructure to meet the diverse needs of a global engineering effort. We aren’t just building a platform; we are redefining the developer experience and pushing the technical limits of what cloud infrastructure can achieve.

What You’ll Be Doing 🗃️

  • Champion a culture of continuous improvement, providing meaningful mentorship and constructive feedback that helps engineers grow.
  • Driving team performance by resolving bottlenecks, fostering accountability, and sustaining high engagement to ensure consistent delivery & resource efficiency.
  • Driving the adoption of AI within the team, ranging from day to day operations to large scale projects.
  • Foster open, transparent communication across remote, hybrid, and in-person environments.
  • Stay hands on in Cloud and Platform engineering, leading by example at a technical level.
  • Defining and enforcing platform engineering best practices that ensure consistency, scalability and operational excellence across the organisation.
  • Partner with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and QA to align strategy and turn ideas into well-executed outcomes.
  • Contribute to product decisions, bringing a platform perspective that balances speed, quality and scalability.
  • Proactively identify and mitigate risk before they come blockers.
  • Embed DevSecOps principles; ensuring security, monitoring, compliance, and automation are built in from the start.

Our Values & Culture 🌞

  • Just Pilot: We never settle for “good enough”. We pilot new ideas fast, ask questions to figure it out, and scale quickly.
  • Why Not Today? Fast is as slow as we go - speed and simplicity gives us a competitive advantage.
  • Be a Buddy: We tap in from day one to help the team, we do the right thing even if it’s hard.
  • Owners and Dates: We don’t chase people. If you own a task and agree to a date, the expectation is that it gets done.
  • Feedback: We want our employees to flourish, so we regularly provide direct and constructive feedback.

We’re Looking For 🔎

  • Confident, decisive and supportive leader with experience managing Cloud / Platform engineering teams.
  • A natural ability to lead cross functional teams, working with engineering teams, QA and other stakeholders.
  • A strong communicator who can bridge the gap between technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Deep understanding of modern cloud / platform engineering practices and scalable system architectures.
  • Experience driving a culture around reliability, performance and continuous improvement.
  • Expertise across Azure, Cloud technologies and the suite of tools commonly used in Cloud / Platform Engineering.
  • Proven experience working & scaling the platform to support a fast paced containerised environment.

Interview Process 🤝

  • Stage 1: 30 minute intro call with a Talent Partner
  • Stage 2: 60 minute technical interview with the Engineering Manager & People Partner
  • Stage 3: 60 minute live technical challenge with the Platform team

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
