Software Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager — FinTech - 100% Hands off

London | Hybrid — 3 days a week in the office

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing team of around 7–8 engineers at an ambitious fintech business in London.

This is a genuinely important leadership role within the product and engineering organisation. You’ll be responsible for creating the environment for a great team to do its best work — balancing people leadership, product delivery and technical direction .

We’re looking for someone who has built their career in strong product companies and has a track record of staying and making an impact. Good tenure matters to us : we’re particularly interested in people who have spent several years at companies, grown with them, and can demonstrate sustained ownership rather than a series of short stints.

The role

You’ll lead a team of 7–8 engineers working closely with Product, Design and other engineering leaders to build and improve products used by customers at scale.

You’ll:

• Lead, coach and develop a team of 7–8 engineers
• Set a high bar for engineering quality, delivery and team culture
• Partner closely with Product and Design to shape priorities and roadmap
• Give engineers clear direction, regular feedback and meaningful career development
• Own delivery across your team, helping remove blockers and improve how the team operates
• Work with senior engineers on technical direction, architecture and engineering standards
• Balance short-term delivery with building a healthy, scalable engineering organisation
• Contribute to the wider engineering culture and management team

What we’re looking for

You’ll likely have:

• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager leading a team of around 6–10 engineers
• A strong software engineering background and enough technical depth to engage credibly with engineers
• Experience working in product-led technology companies , ideally fintech or another technically complex environment
• A track record of building high-performing teams and developing engineers
• Strong product instincts and experience working closely with Product and Design
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to operate effectively with both engineers and senior stakeholders
• Evidence of good tenure and sustained impact in previous roles

We care less about a particular technology stack and more about how you lead, how you think about product and engineering, and the quality of teams you've built .

This is an opportunity to join a growing fintech where engineering is central to the product and company strategy.

You’ll have genuine ownership, a strong team around you and the opportunity to influence both what gets built and how engineering works .
