About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to join our team in Leeds City Centre on a permanent basis. This is a hybrid role, with two days in the office and three days working remotely each week.
As Senior Engineering Manager, you’ll lead the Engineering pillar, overseeing a high-performing team focused on building new products and capabilities from the ground up - rather than maintaining existing solutions. The team is centred on greenfield development, platform extensions, and AI-native tooling.
You’ll spend the majority of your time on people leadership, delivery, and driving organisational clarity, with some hands-on involvement where needed. While you won’t be coding day-to-day, you’ll bring strong technical credibility confident reviewing architecture, setting engineering standards, and unblocking teams to ensure high-quality delivery.
Our core stack is GCP; We use GitHub Enterprise, Terraform, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Jira and Confluence for delivery management which is all managed by the Cloud Platform team.
What will you be doing?
- Lead, develop, and retain a high-performing team of senior engineers
- Set clear expectations, run effective 1:1s, and provide candid feedback
- Own hiring end-to-end, including technical bar, interviews, and onboarding
- Drive delivery outcomes across scope, quality, pace, and predictability
- Translate product roadmaps into clear, actionable engineering plans
- Remove blockers quickly to maintain momentum and delivery pace
- Uphold high engineering standards across code quality, architecture, and CI/CD
- Contribute to architecture decisions and promote scalable, reusable design
- Champion GCP-first, API-first, microservices, and AI-native approaches
- Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure compliant, aligned, and on-track delivery
- Report to the Director of Engineering, Platform & AI and act as the voice of the Engineering pillar in cross-functional forums
- Work closely with Security, GRC, Legal, and external partners to keep delivery compliant and unblocked
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.

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.
