Senior Software Engineering Manager
Embedded Software | Southampton | Hybrid (23 days per week)
Circa £115,000 Basic Salary, plus 20% bonus, equity, PMI, life, pension etc..
Most Software Engineering Manager roles are about maintaining what already exists. This one is different.
My client is a growing technology business developing advanced wireless communications technology. With several significant commercial opportunities on the horizon, the software engineering function is expected to grow rapidly over the next 12 months.
They're looking for someone who wants more than simply managing a team.
This will appeal to an engineering leader who enjoys building teams, shaping engineering culture, improving development practices, and creating an environment where talented engineers can do their best work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

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.
You'll work alongside experienced technical leaders across Software, FPGA, Systems, and Algorithm Engineering, helping to guide the evolution of the software function as the business scales. There is genuine opportunity to influence engineering methodology, develop Team Leaders, improve ways of working, and leave a lasting mark on the organisation.
This is closer to leading the software function within a growing technology company than it is to a traditional Software Engineering Manager position.
We're interested in speaking with people who have:
- Experience leading embedded software engineering teams.
- A track record of developing high-performing engineers and technical leaders.
- Experience improving software engineering processes, methodologies, and development practices.
- The ability to influence technical direction across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- A passion for building engineering organisations capable of scaling with the business.
