Engineering Manager
Liverpool | Hybrid working
The Company
We're working with an established Liverpool-based technology business that is investing significantly in its digital platforms and engineering capability.
As part of this next phase of growth, they're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a small, experienced engineering team, support the development of a modern consumer-facing platform and help shape how the engineering function evolves.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the people and leadership side of engineering management but still wants to remain close to the technology.
The Role
As Engineering Manager, you'll take ownership of the team's delivery, ways of working and continued development.
- Work closely with engineers, product and senior stakeholders to make sure the team is focused on the right priorities and has the environment, processes and support needed to deliver effectively.
- While this isn't a role where you need to be the strongest technical specialist in every conversation, you'll need enough technical depth to challenge decisions, contribute to technical discussions and support the team when required.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The engineering team is currently relatively small and experienced, with plans to grow alongside the development of the new platform. You'll therefore have a genuine opportunity to influence how the team develops, from hiring and onboarding through to engineering practices and career development.
What you'll be doing
- Leading a small software engineering team and taking ownership of delivery
- Working closely with product and senior stakeholders around priorities and delivery
- Remaining technically involved through code reviews, design discussions and occasional hands-on contribution
- Identifying and removing blockers across the engineering team
- Improving engineering processes, development practices and ways of working
- Helping the team make effective use of modern development and AI-assisted engineering tools
