Founded in 2018 in Dublin, Tines is a smart, secure workflow platform designed to automate any manual task, regardless of complexity. By automating workflows, Tines empowers frontline teams to reduce monotonous, manual work and free up valuable time and resources.
Tines is an integrator across your entire stack - if it offers an API, Tines connects with it. Having firmly established Tines as the de-facto automation platform for cybersecurity teams, we're expanding horizontally to IT, Product, Engineering, and Infrastructure teams. Tines was built for everyone, delivering transformative and innovative enterprise software to industry leaders like Canva, Intercom, Databricks, Mars and Reddit.
We're excited about what we're doing and what's to come, and we're looking for others who can lead by our values of Simplicity, Speed, and Soundness. Because Tines is about delivering exceptional customer experiences, while creating a company culture that nurtures individual curiosity, growth, and integrity.
You'll join the team primarily responsible for our overall front-end experience, where you'll build complete product features as well as tooling and libraries to enable other engineers to ship faster, higher quality software. However, we're still a small but growing software engineering organization, so this role is not strictly limited to any single part of our product or stack.
This role is about more than writing code: you'll have an influential voice in shaping our technical direction, our product, and our culture. We have a hugely supportive and collaborative engineering team that takes great pride in the work we do and the challenges we solve. We're eager to help grow and nurture each other's abilities and also create an environment where we have the ability to do our very best work.

We just need you to show us that you have accumulated the skills and knowledge needed to succeed.Cybersecurity knowledge isn't required.
We take application security seriously, but for this role you don't need any experience in that area.This role is broad, not specialized.
While your main focus will be on the React web application, you'll work right across our backend, frontend and infrastructure. You don't need to have expertise in all of these areas (no one on the team does), but you will need to be comfortable pitching in anywhere when needed, with the support of your teammates. This allows us to be more effective as a team, and provides a lot of opportunities for you to learn.We're focused on the most important problems, not the most interesting ones . Your time and energy are limited, so in order to succeed you'll need to spend it where it will make a difference. We view technologies as a means to an end, and stick to simple, common tools - Ruby, Rails, React, TypeScript, Postgres, Redis and Docker.We work healthily and sustainably.
We work reasonable hours, we take our holidays and we plan our workloads realistically. No matter how excited we get by a project, it's more important to not get burnt out from overwork.Your contributions will be obvious.
On a small team like ours, you don't have to spend a ton of time and energy making sure your work is seen - your impact and value will be clear to everyone.We're building an inclusive, supportive team.
We have a wonderfully wide spectrum of colleagues, and we treat them all with kindness and respect - we expect that you will too. We don't hire people that treat their colleagues badly, no matter how talented they are.We're bringing programming to everyone.
As software engineers, we can appreciate the power of using software to automate manual work. In our team, we get to use our knowledge to help bring this power to our customers, without them having to learn how to code.
At Tines, we're all about trying new things and taking the leap. If you're second-guessing your application, we hope you'll trust your gut and take the leap too! Applying for a new job isn't always easy, especially if you're thinking of a career pivot - but we're big believers in learning and growth here at Tines, so you've nothing to worry about. A variety of experience, perspectives, and voices makes us the company we are. We'd love to hear from you.
