Engineering Manager – Solutions Engineering
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Engineering Manager – Solutions Engineering based in the United Kingdom.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering leadership, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing technical delivery. You will lead a distributed team of Python engineers focused on building and evolving infrastructure automation solutions that power large-scale systems such as private clouds, Kubernetes environments, and bare-metal operations. The work combines hands-on technical leadership with people management, requiring you to guide architecture decisions while also coaching engineers in their day-to-day growth. You will collaborate closely with operations teams and stakeholders to translate real-world infrastructure challenges into scalable, model-driven solutions. This is a highly impactful role where your leadership directly influences product direction, engineering culture, and customer success. You will operate in a globally distributed environment with strong autonomy, high expectations, and a focus on engineering excellence. The position is ideal for someone who enjoys building teams as much as building systems.
Accountabilities:
- Lead, mentor, and grow a distributed team of Python engineers, ensuring strong performance, career development, and technical excellence.
- Drive the design and delivery of infrastructure automation and software solutions for large-scale cloud and bare-metal environments.
- Contribute directly to codebases while providing technical leadership and setting high engineering standards.
- Define, plan, and track execution of team objectives, ensuring alignment with broader organizational goals.
- Collaborate with product, operations, and engineering stakeholders to shape technical direction and delivery priorities.
- Foster a high-quality engineering culture focused on testing, documentation, performance, and reliability.
- Advocate for modern software development practices, agile methodologies, and continuous improvement.
- Act as a key liaison between teams, ensuring clear communication and alignment across internal and external stakeholders.
