Engineering Manager

Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland

Reporting to the Director of Software Engineering, the Manager of Software Engineering will lead globally distributed engineering teams at TRG Screen, building a high-performance culture of operational excellence while scaling engineering operations to meet evolving business goals.

This role is responsible for translating engineering strategy into execution—optimizing development processes, providing technical leadership to guide platform modernization, and delivering secure, reliable, scalable solutions. The Manager will own team-level KPI tracking, champion AI-powered code-generation tools to elevate productivity and fuel continuous improvement, and serve as a key connector between engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders.

This is a people-first leadership role for someone who has grown beyond hands-on delivery but remains technically credible—capable of conducting meaningful code reviews, mentoring engineers at every level, and shaping a culture of engineering excellence across distributed teams.

5 years of relevant industry experience building production-grade software solutions using an enterprise-grade stack. C# / .NET experience is preferred, though candidates with a strong background in comparable languages such as Java or Go are welcome to apply.

2+ years of people-management experience, with a proven ability to coach and develop engineers at varying levels.

Strong understanding of Agile methodologies, Continuous Delivery, developer velocity, and DevOps concepts.

Demonstrable experience managing team performance – setting expectations, conducting reviews, and supporting career growth.

Track record of managing delivery – planning, tracking, and communicating progress clearly to stakeholders at multiple levels.

Comfortable engaging in technical discussions at team level; able to represent and be accountable for the team’s technical output.

Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to tailor communication to technical and non-technical audiences.

Experience working in cross-functional environments alongside Product Management, Design, and Client Success.

Background in financial services, market data, or a regulated technology environment.

Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Azure DevOps, or equivalent tooling.

Familiarity with AI developer tooling (e.g. Cursor, GitHub Copilot) and experience driving adoption responsibly within an engineering team.

Exposure to cloud platforms, with AWS preferred.

Experience participating in security reviews, DDQs, or ISO 27001 audit processes.

Experience leading or contributing to technology modernisation programmes – including legacy migration, re-platforming, or the introduction of modern engineering practices into established codebases.

People-first mindset – genuine investment in the growth and wellbeing of the team.

Clear decision-maker who takes ownership and learns from mistakes without defensiveness.

Comfortable operating in ambiguity; able to act responsibly without the full picture.

Economic thinker – able to frame trade-offs clearly and make pragmatic, business-aligned decisions.
