Senior Software Engineering Manager
Southampton (Hybrid)
Permanent
This is an opportunity to lead an experienced software engineering team developing high-performance, real-time embedded software for next-generation wireless communications technology.
The team is already made up of highly capable engineers. What they're looking for now is an experienced engineering leader who can develop people, improve engineering practices and help shape how software is delivered as the business continues to grow.
The Role
You'll be responsible for leading a team of software engineers, supporting their professional development and ensuring projects are delivered to a high technical standard.
Working closely with technical specialists across software, FPGA, systems and algorithm development, you'll help drive engineering excellence by improving software development methodologies, delivery processes and team effectiveness.
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.
This is a leadership role with genuine influence. You'll have the opportunity to challenge existing ways of working, introduce improvements where appropriate and help scale the software engineering function.
Requirements
We're looking for someone who has:
- Previous experience leading software engineering teams.
- A background in embedded software, high-performance computing or software closely coupled to hardware.
- Experience improving engineering processes, software delivery or development methodologies.
- Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, Agile development and CI/CD practices.
- A collaborative leadership style, with the confidence to coach, challenge and hold people accountable where required.
- The ability to influence engineers and stakeholders and turn strategic objectives into clear, actionable plans.
- Wireless communications experience would be advantageous but isn't essential.

- Work alongside recognised experts in wireless communications, FPGA and systems engineering.
- Join a collaborative engineering culture where good ideas are encouraged and you'll have the opportunity to make a lasting impact.
