Software Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager | London | AI | Series A 📍 London (on-site 4 days a week) 💸 £130-170k plus high equity I'm working with a fast-growing AI company in London that's looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a small but senior engineering team. They want someone who's been a strong engineer first, has moved into leadership, and still understands what good technical decision-making and delivery actually look like. You'll be responsible for engineers working across three product/engineering squads, covering:

• Hiring, coaching and developing engineers
• Helping technical leads take real ownership
• Working closely with Product and the CTO
• Building an engineering culture where people understand the customer problem
• Raising the bar on engineering quality, accountability and execution The ideal background:
• A few years managing engineers directly
• Previously a strong IC in a venture-backed startup or serious technology company
• Experience hiring and developing product-led engineers
• Comfortable coordinating several teams at once
• Experience shipping things like distributed systems, data pipelines or platform services The company has grown significantly in the past year, it works with major institutional customers across the US and Europe, and recently raised a strong Series A. If you're an engineering manager who still thinks like an engineer, and you like small teams, high ownership and very little unnecessary process - then drop me a message.
