Via is supporting an award-winning AI technology company to recruit an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing software engineering team.
This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of the UK's fastest-growing AI businesses, building intelligent software that is transforming the financial services industry.
You'll lead a team of talented engineers, helping them grow professionally while delivering innovative AI-powered products used by leading financial organisations across the UK.
This role is ideal for an experienced Engineering Manager, Software Development Manager or Technical Team Lead who enjoys developing people just as much as building exceptional technology.
The Role
As Engineering Manager, you'll be responsible for creating an environment where engineers thrive. Working closely with Product and Technical Leadership, you'll support delivery, coach your team and help shape an engineering culture built on autonomy, collaboration and continuous improvement.
You'll remain technically credible without being responsible for day-to-day coding, enabling you to support engineers, remove blockers and drive high-quality software delivery.

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.
