About the Team

We are looking to hire across our Acceleration Function which includes Runtime, Node, Platform and Applied Engineering.

About the Role

We're hiring an Engineering Manager who combines people leadership with strong delivery and project management.

This isn't a hands-on coding role, but you'll need enough technical depth to understand architecture, engage credibly with engineers, and support sound decision-making.

You'll focus on team health, execution, planning, and cross-functional coordination, helping the team navigate trade-offs, timelines, and stakeholder expectations.

A background as a Technical Project Manager or Engineering Manager in a deeply technical environment would be a strong fit.

What You’ll Do

Lead, coach, and support a team of around 9 engineers within one of our functions

Create a healthy, high-trust team environment with a strong focus on people management and team care

Drive planning, prioritisation, and execution across complex technical workstreams

Negotiate timelines and delivery trade-offs with stakeholders in a clear and pragmatic way

Build enough technical context to understand architecture discussions and help translate them into executable plans

Partner closely with technical leaders and contributors to keep projects moving and unblock delivery

Improve team ways of working, communication, and delivery predictability in a distributed environment

Support hiring, onboarding, and ongoing development of team members as the organisation grows

What You’ll Bring

Experience leading engineering or highly technical teams in an Engineering Manager or Technical Project Manager capacity

Strong people management skills, with a track record of building healthy teams and supporting individual growth

Excellent project and delivery management skills, including planning, dependency management, and stakeholder communication

Sufficient technical depth to understand complex system architecture and work effectively with senior engineers

Comfort operating in a role that is more focused on leadership and delivery than on hands-on coding

Strong judgement when balancing technical complexity, team wellbeing, and delivery outcomes

Experience working with distributed teams, ideally across Europe or closely aligned European time zones

Nice to have: experience in similarly technical or infrastructure-heavy environments
