Engineering Manager — FinTech - 100% Hands off
London | Hybrid — 3 days a week in the office
£120,000–£130,000 + Bonus
We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing team of around 7–8 engineers at an ambitious fintech business in London.
This is a genuinely important leadership role within the product and engineering organisation. You’ll be responsible for creating the environment for a great team to do its best work — balancing people leadership, product delivery, and technical direction.
We’re looking for someone who has built their career in strong product companies and has a track record of staying and making an impact. Good tenure matters to us: we’re particularly interested in people who have spent several years at companies, grown with them, and can demonstrate sustained ownership rather than a series of short stints.
The role
You’ll lead a team of 7–8 engineers working closely with Product, Design, and other engineering leaders to build and improve products used by customers at scale.
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.
You’ll:
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of 7–8 engineers
- Set a high bar for engineering quality, delivery, and team culture
- Partner closely with Product and Design to shape priorities and roadmap
- Give engineers clear direction, regular feedback, and meaningful career development
- Own delivery across your team, helping remove blockers and improve how the team operates
- Work with senior engineers on technical direction, architecture, and engineering standards
- Balance short-term delivery with building a healthy, scalable engineering organisation
- Contribute to the wider engineering culture and management team
What we’re looking for
You’ll likely have:
- Proven experience as an Engineering Manager leading a team of around 6–10 engineers
- A strong software engineering background and enough technical depth to engage credibly with engineers
- Experience working in product-led technology companies, ideally fintech or another technically complex environment
- A track record of building high-performing teams and developing engineers
- Strong product instincts and experience working closely with Product and Design
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to operate effectively with both engineers and senior stakeholders
- Evidence of good tenure and sustained impact in previous roles
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We care less about a particular technology stack and more about how you lead, how you think about product and engineering, and the quality of teams you've built.
Why join?
This is an opportunity to join a growing fintech where engineering is central to the product and company strategy.
You’ll have genuine ownership, a strong team around you, and the opportunity to influence both what gets built and how engineering works.
- £120k–£130k base salary
- London — 3 days a week in the office
- Engineering team of 7–8
If you’re an Engineering Manager from a strong product background and are looking for your next long-term opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.
