We are working with a fast-growing B2C start-up looking for an Engineering Manager to take a key role in building and scaling its product and engineering organisation. We’re looking for someone who has built and shipped customer-facing digital products at scale and understands how strong engineering translates into a great consumer experience.
This is a technical leadership role combining engineering management with significant technical depth. The successful candidate will operate at the intersection of an Engineering Manager and Staff/Lead Engineer, leading and developing engineering teams while remaining closely involved in the technical direction of the product.
The role is not focused on day-to-day ticket execution. Instead, you will provide technical leadership across the engineering organisation, establishing development patterns and standards, reviewing code and technical designs, providing meaningful feedback to engineers, and owning key architecture and system design decisions.
