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!

We work on key projects involving data pipeline development, platform management, model training and deployment, data quality assurance and customised data tooling.

What You'll Be Doing 🗃️

  • Own the flow and security of data in our Snowflake data warehouse, ensuring optimal data delivery architecture and availability for global business operations and data science work.
  • Build CI/CD pipelines using GitHub for automated testing, deployment, and version control.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across Engineering, Data Science, and Analytics Engineering to gather requirements and deliver high-impact data solutions.
  • Ensure data quality, reliability, and observability across the platform through robust monitoring, alerting, and testing frameworks.

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.

  • Demonstrated experience with GitHub, CI/CD, and collaborative development.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, comfortable working with technical and non-technical colleagues.
