Join the Tilt team

At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential.

The opportunity - Staff Platform Engineer

At Tilt, we’re on a mission to help people achieve more with less friction. Our platform simplifies complexity - for customers and the engineers who build on it. We design and run the resilient systems and elegant abstractions that keep Tilt moving fast with confidence.

We’re looking for a Staff Platform Engineer who thrives at the intersection of software, infrastructure, and distributed systems. You’ll lead technical strategy, build foundational architecture, and make the engine room run smoothly. If owning and diving into the engine room to optimise systems and enable scale excites you, let’s talk.
