Software Engineering Manager

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead and grow one of our engineering teams. This is a people first role for someone who is genuinely excited about the craft of leadership. You will own the performance, growth, and culture of your team, working closely with Product and Lead Engineer to create an environment of genuine ownership and high autonomy. This role requires a strong engineering background, not to own the technical direction, but to earn credibility, ask the right questions, and know when to step in.

Own performance, development, and progression of your team

Own the individual performance and development of your direct reports, setting a high bar, giving honest feedback, and creating conditions for engineers to grow into real ownership.

Build a self-organised team, initially playing a facilitating role in ceremonies, with the explicit goal of no longer being needed to run the process.

Partner with Product on roadmap planning, making sure engineers understand the context behind the work, not just the tickets in front of them.

Own your team's delivery, keeping engineers unblocked, priorities clear, and commitments met.

Spot patterns in how your team operates, design better ways of working, and build the automation that powers those improvements.

Stay close enough to the codebase to spot friction, improve developer tooling, and engage credibly in technical discussions, without stepping onto the critical path.

Drive hiring alongside our Recruitment team, contributing to interview process design, and a high-quality candidate experience.

Set the cultural expectation around AI coding tools, building team-wide norms for responsible, high-quality AI-assisted engineering.
