My client is a fast-moving startup building a modern software platform, and I'm looking for an Engineering Manager with experience leading and supporting a tech team. You’ll be joining a high-impact environment where every team member plays a key role in shaping the product and engineering culture.

If you have been managing a team alongside coding but want to move into more people management this could be the role for you. 

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead the Team: Guide and support a team of a team of 14 developers, setting direction, mentoring individuals, and keeping morale high.
• Own Roadmap Delivery: Work closely with leadership to ensure technical execution stays aligned with business goals.
• Balance Execution & Architecture: Make smart technical decisions, manage technical debt, and shape long-term system design.
• Champion Quality: Drive robust testing, scalable code, and ongoing improvements in performance and developer experience.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience with either leading or mentoring, ideally in a startup or high-autonomy environment.
• Strong full-stack development background, especially with Ruby on Rails and React.
• A leadership style grounded in communication, autonomy, and accountability.
• Comfort working directly with founders or senior leadership to help shape product and strategy.
• A bias for action and the ability to keep complex projects moving without heavy processes.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to bring a team together around shared goals.

Why Join Us?

• You’ll have a major influence on the direction of our technology, team, and product.
• You’ll work closely with leadership and have full context behind decisions.
• You’ll join a small, high-trust team that values simplicity, moves quickly, and enjoys the work.
