Senior Engineering Manager

Founding and leading the new IT Team: defining roles, hiring, onboarding and growing ~5–6 full-stack developers, with responsibility for staffing and team development.

Acting as the team's Solution Architect — owning the technical solution framework, standards and design principles; ensuring solutions are secure, maintainable, scalable and reusable.

Translating business needs into technical designs for tooling, applications, front ends and integrations, working closely with SMBS service and delivery leaders.

Owning the data-platform build on Snowflake — fast, reliable data in/out and integration patterns.

Staying hands-on: solution design, code reviews, and production code on complex or foundational paths.

Leading the day-to-day delivery cadence and release management of the team (no separate scrum/release role), with responsibility for both short-term deliverables and long-term improvements.

Coordinating QA through the SMBS Change & Upgrade QA capability rather than a dedicated in-team function.

Collaborating with other engineering leaders — the SMBS AI team and SimCorp Platform — on integration patterns, quality, security and delivery, keeping clear boundaries: application builds sit with this team, AI/agent solutions with the AI team.

Establishing coding standards, testing practices and deployment patterns; providing input to the strategic direction of the IT capability in SMBS.

You are an engineer at heart, with strong professional software development experience.

You have 5–8 years' experience leading software engineers, and demonstrated experience building or scaling a team.

You take pride in delivering sound, production-grade software solutions.

You have a deep understanding of core engineering practices — testing methodologies, coding, CI/CD, AI-assisted development, security and architecture — and can comprehend and guide your team's daily work.

You have a bias for delivery: you get solutions from concept to production quickly without compromising quality.

You build a collaborative and open culture, and work effectively across a large, international organisation at various levels.

Exposure to financial systems / capital-markets platforms or high-volume transactional systems.

Experience with AI-assisted development tooling in the SDLC (e.g. Copilot, Claude).

You have worked in an Azure or other cloud environment.
