About the Role
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a multidisciplinary team within Connected Trip Search, part of our Marketplace Business Unit. You'll help build customer-facing conversational and search experiences that make it easier for travellers to find the trips they're looking for.

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.
What You'll Do
- Lead, coach, and grow a team of 5–8 engineers, balancing delivery with long-term technical health
- Provide Android technical leadership — architecture, code review, and troubleshooting support
- Own delivery planning, risk management, and stakeholder communication
- Champion quality, performance, and reliability across the team's products
- Support incident response and drive continuous improvement through data and experimentation
- Build a psychologically safe, high-performing team culture
