Software Engineering Manager

A Tier 1 Bank is looking for an Engineering Manager to own their process orchestration platform end to end: running the engineering roadmap, playbooks and ongoing maintenance, and managing the rollout of vendor upgrades and internal improvements across all consuming teams' own instances of the stack.

Responsibilities

• Own the platform end-to-end: design, build, and long-term maintenance
• Roll out upgrades and improvements to teams running their own instances
• Stay hands-on with code, architecture, and problem-solving, not just people management
• Manage two feature teams (~8 reports)

Required Skills

• AWS experience
• Kubernetes/EKS a plus, not required (we've just moved from ECS to EKS)
• No preferred language - comfortable moving between Java, Go, TypeScript, etc.
• Background in larger, more structured/regulated organizations preferred over early-stage or loosely governed environments

This is a permanent role with two days a week required in their office just outside of Manchester.
