About TILT

E-commerce sites are 💀 😴 💩. Online shopping has been the same uninspiring experience for the last two decades. A seismic shift in consumer culture is happening. TILT is at the forefront of this; we are bringing the fun and energy back to shopping by creating a familiar, yet wildly new shopping experience.

TILT was founded in 2021 by former early members and heads at Revolut. We are backed by the same people who funded and built some of the world's best technology companies. We've got the firepower to build a culturally impactful product and we need the right people to join us. Come aboard as we shape new landscapes in commerce and push the boundaries on what is possible! 🛸

We are looking for a backend engineer to help build our platform and make engineering a core part of TILT's culture. This is a pivotal role where you'll help take our company from 0 → 1.

The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility

First we assess the flexibility options Tilt provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure Tilt is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.

We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.
