Lead IT Engineer, Cashalo

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.

We are looking for a Lead IT Engineer to own and evolve the technical infrastructure powering our operations in Manila. You'll take the reins on a complex, high-stakes environment -networks, servers, identity, compliance - and lead it with the maturity and urgency a growing fintech demands.

This is a hybrid role, requiring at least 2 days/week in our Manila HQ.

• Own the infrastructure - Manage on-prem servers, Mediatel systems, and 400–500 GSM gateways supporting Cashalo's agent operations

• Lead active projects - Drive delivery of projects like a firewall replacement, RADIUS/AD/Meraki Wi-Fi migration, and zero trust network rollout

• Manage cloud and identity - Handle user provisioning, MDM, and cloud tooling with a focus on access control and security hygiene

• Own IT compliance - Lead audit preparation and execution, maintaining a consistently high standard of IT governance

• Drive vendor delivery - Manage vendor relationships for infrastructure projects with urgency and rigour

• You've owned complex IT environments end to end - network, infrastructure, identity and compliance. Not just one slice.

• You approach security and governance as core to the job, not an afterthought

• You have experience managing and collaborating with vendors on projects

• You can talk about complex projects with ease - ability to take deeply technical initiatives and explain it in simple terms

• You thrive in fast paced, lean environments.

• You know what it takes to be audit-ready at all times.

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.

• 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.

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.
