The Role

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead high-performing software engineering teams and create the conditions for them to thrive. You’ll be a technical expert, delivery leader and people coach, ensuring engineers feel supported, grow in their careers, and deliver measurable impact to customers.

• Passion for agile delivery and modern engineering practices (TDD, CI/CD).
• Strong communication skills and ability to build trust quickly.
• Commitment to diversity, inclusion, and creating a culture of belonging.
• A growth mindset and enthusiasm for continuous learning.
