Overview

£70,000 base salary + benefits

We're looking for a passionate, people focused Engineering Manager to join us, someone who loves growing people as much as building great tech. If you're a senior engineer ready to step up and lead, or a people manager who has moved away from the technology day-to-day, this role blends leadership with hands-on impact.

Responsibilities

  • Hire, mentor, and grow top engineering talent.
  • Create a culture of innovation and learning.
  • Drive engineering best practices and modern tooling.
  • Drive capability improvement through excellent standards, process and governance.
  • Coach and develop through code reviews, pair programming, and career development.

You’ll thrive here if you

  • Lead with empathy and unblock your team
  • Stay close to the tech (architecture, code reviews)
  • Collaborate across teams and with product leaders
  • Balance innovation with compliance
  • Care deeply about career growth and team success

Qualifications

  • Senior Engineers stepping into leadership – 5+ years software engineering experience; passion for mentoring; some experience in coaching juniors.
  • Experienced People Manager diving into technology – proven track record of growing technical talent; curiosity about tech with some experience in agile methodologies and product development; strong coaching and performance skills.

How to apply

Or if you already do both of these and have a collaborative leadership style, understand modern development practices like CI/CD, etc., and like building high-performing teams, then please get in touch.
