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. With millions of customers worldwide, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.
THE OPPORTUNITY: SENIOR ENGINEERING MANAGER, CASHALO
We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the Engineering team for Cashalo, our Philippines business. You'll act as the advisor to the Cashalo GM, in addition to leading an established, high-performing 11–12 person backend and mobile team. You'll own the ambiguous, cross-market problems that need sustained focus to solve.
This is a 100% remote role based in Australia, Singapore or the Philippines, requiring travel 4-6 times/year.
HOW YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT
Serve as the functional leader for Cashalo, embedded in day-to-day partnership with the local GM.
Lead an existing 11-12 person backend and mobile engineering team, continuing to drive the high performance already in place.
Own ambiguous, multi-stakeholder business problems - like running and reading several concurrent, interdependent experiments - through to resolution.
Bring proven engineering and product patterns from other Tilt markets into Cashalo, balancing proven patterns with regional requirements.
Travel to the Philippines roughly once a quarter.
WHY YOU'RE A GREAT FIT
Deep, demonstrated experience building and leading high-performing engineering teams.
Product-first orientation - comfortable operating where technology already works, rather than looking to rebuild.
Can easily talk to taking a broad, multi-stakeholder problem, identifying the root cause, aligning the group and driving to a solution.
Experience in startup/scrappy environments.
You're leveraging AI in your day to day workflow, building and using agents as a default.
Even though you've moved away from day-to-day engineering, you can still have a robust technical discussion with Staff+ Engineers in your team.
Don’t meet every qualification? We care about potential over your past. If you're bringing ambition and drive to what we're building, we want to hear from you.
WHAT YOU'LL GET AT TILT
Virtual-first teamwork: The Tilt team is collaborating across 14 countries, 12 time zones, and counting. You’ll get started with a WFH office reimbursement.
Competitive pay: We're big on potential, and it's reflected in our competitive compensation packages and generous equity.
Complete support: Find flexible health plans at every premium level, and substantial subsidies that stand up to global standards.
Visibility is yours: You can count on direct exposure to our leadership team — we’re a team where good ideas travel quickly.
Paid global onsites: Magic happens IRL: we gather twice yearly to reconnect over shared meals or kayaking adventures. (We’ve visited Vail, San Diego, and Mexico City, to name a few.)
Impact is recognized: Growth opportunities follow your contributions, not rigid promotion timelines.
THE TILT WAY
We're looking for people who chase excellence and impact. Those who stand behind their work, celebrating the wins and learning from the missteps equally. We foster an environment where every voice is valued and mutual respect is non-negotiable — brilliant jerks need not apply. We're in this together, working to expand access to fair credit and prove that people are incredible. When you join us, it's not just another day at the [virtual] office, you're helping millions of hardworking people reach better financial futures.
You’re pushing ahead in your career? We can get behind that. Join us in building the credit system that people deserve.
