Our client is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a team of 6-8 engineers building features trusted by some of the largest organisations in the world.

• Own team-level operational health — reliability, on-call and incident follow-up
• Manage stakeholders and communicate clearly across the organisation
• Continuously improve process, ways of working and engineering standards
• Contribute to hiring and to the broader engineering leadership group
