We're looking for a passionate, people focused Engineering Manager to join us, someone who loves growing people as much as building great tech.

- 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.
