Overview

Hey! We're Plum, your smart saving and investing app on a mission to help grow money for life. Since 2016, over 2 million people in 10 European markets have set aside more than £2 billion with our clever automation and AI. We’re looking for more brilliant people to join us on our journey.

The role: As a Senior Engineering Manager in our Brokerage domain, you'll take ownership of the technical direction and delivery outcomes across multiple agile squads. You'll drive excellence in engineering practices, foster a high-performing and collaborative culture, and shape the strategy behind some of Plum's most impactful products.

It is a dynamic and highly regulated space, requiring smart, scalable, and secure systems.

Your Team Structure

Plum is organized into cross-functional squads, each made up of Product Managers, Designers, Backend and Mobile Engineers. Squads belong to domains, which are grouped into Pillars representing key strategic areas of the business. As a Senior Engineering Manager, you'll oversee the Brokerage domain (currently part of the Wealth Pillar), managing two squads (directly leading one team and supporting the other via the Engineering Lead). You will work with Product and Design leaders to align on goals and raise the bar on execution. Your focus will be to guide technical vision, ensure strong delivery, and drive cross-team collaboration.
