Job Title
We are partnering with a global healthcare leader looking to scale their core engineering function and build up their leadership layer. This role sits at the heart of a strategic drive to transition platform delivery from external consultancies to a high-performing internal engineering organisation.
Role Overview
As a Senior Engineering Manager, you will lead the squads responsible for core service integrations, provider ecosystems, and backend platform architecture. While this is a hands-off leadership role, a solid foundation as a Java/Spring Boot engineer is required to drive technical decision-making and gain team respect.
Key Responsibilities
- Team Scaling & Mentorship: Build, mentor, and retain talent across your squad (target span of control: 6–8 engineers), establishing clear growth pathways.
- Architecture & Delivery: Guide teams in building resilient, event-driven architectures and microservices deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- In-housing Delivery: Seamlessly transition ownership from external consultancy teams to your permanent engineering squad over your first 90 days.
- Stakeholder Management: Manage complex matrix stakeholder relationships while balancing technical debt and delivery commitments.
