Engineering Manager for AI Leader in Governance, Risk, and Compliance

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join an AI leader in governance, risk and compliance. This is a hands-on team management role for someone who enjoys combining people leadership, technical fluency, and modern AI-enabled ways of working to build reliable products at scale. They ask for 50% of your time to be spent in the office though are flexible on which days.

You’ll lead engineers building secure, scalable microservices and APIs using TypeScript and AWS. You’ll partner closely with Product, Security, DevOps, and peer engineering leaders to deliver roadmap outcomes, improve team effectiveness, and create an environment where engineers can grow, own their work, and build high-quality systems with confidence.

Key Responsibilities

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do, not all of it, just the important stuff:

  • Lead, coach, and support a team of engineers, creating clarity around priorities, ownership, expectations, and growth goals.
  • Partner with Product, Security, DevOps, and peer engineering leaders to plan and deliver roadmap commitments while balancing quality, pace, and sustainability.
  • Create a healthy delivery environment by improving team processes, removing blockers, supporting planning and estimation, and reinforcing strong engineering practices.
  • Maintain enough technical depth to guide design discussions, challenge risks, review trade-offs, and support the team in building secure and maintainable systems.
  • Use AI tools and encourage responsible AI-assisted ways of working that improve productivity while protecting privacy, security, quality, and good judgment.
  • Support hiring, feedback, performance conversations, and career development so the team continues to grow in capability and confidence.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
