Software Engineering Manager – Lead a Talented Tech Team | Hybrid – Manchester

Are you ready to take the reins of a high-performing engineering team at a fast-growing, forward-thinking company?

We're looking for a hands-off, people-focused Software Engineering Leader to inspire and guide a team of brilliant, multi-skilled engineers. You'll be at the heart of driving innovation, building robust, scalable digital consumer products that impact thousands—if not millions—of users.

This isn’t your typical management role. We're seeking a true technical leader someone with the experience, empathy, and strategic vision to grow a top-tier engineering function. You’ll work alongside highly skilled senior engineers and help shape a tech culture built on trust, autonomy, and continuous improvement. We don’t expect you to code, but you’ll be managing engineers who build with cutting-edge tech to solve complex challenges. Think scalable systems, slick user experiences, modern DevOps practices, and cloud infrastructure that can handle millions of requests.

Skills Required-

Leadership & Influence – You know how to bring out the best in engineers. You’ve led high-performing teams, built trust quickly, and created environments where engineers thrive.

Technical Background – You’ve walked the path of a software or data engineer. You can speak the language of modern architecture, OOP, TDD, CI/CD, and cloud-native development (AWS ideally).

Engineering Best Practices – You drive clean code, robust testing, and elegant automation. Agile, DevOps, and product-driven development are second nature to you.

The company -

Values are simple but powerful:

Zero politics – Just kind, smart people working together.
Down-to-earth – No egos here. We work hard and support one another.
High standards – We’re proud of what we build and how we build it.
Flexibility & Fairness – Work where and how you do your best. We trust you.
Hybrid Working – Manchester Based- 2 days per week
