Senior Engineering Manager – St Albans (Hybrid)
£100,000-£110,000 + Bonus + Shares
A long‑established, high‑growth technology company is beginning a full architectural rebuild following multiple acquisitions. They are unifying several platforms into a single source of truth and scaling for major new markets over the next five years. The company is hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the engineering organization through this transformation, setting direction, driving delivery, and building a high‑performing team capable of delivering a world‑class, event‑driven platform.
In this role you will guide teams as they decouple a large monolith into a distributed, high‑throughput event‑driven system that will process tens of millions of events per day. The position combines technical leadership, organizational management, and strategic delivery.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and scale the engineering organization (hiring, performance, coaching, structure).
* Set engineering strategy, standards, and long‑term technical direction.
* Drive delivery of an architecture transformation to event‑driven micro‑services.
* Partner with Product, Architecture, and senior leadership to define and execute the roadmap.
* Oversee delivery across multiple squads, ensuring quality, velocity, and resilience.
* Shape engineering culture: reliability, ownership, automation, and continuous improvement.
* Manage budgets, supplier relationships, and resource planning.
* Ensure modern, efficient practices across CI/CD, observability, security, and cloud operations.
What You Bring
* Proven leadership of engineering teams within scaling or transforming environments.
* Strong technical background in distributed systems, cloud‑native design, and modern .NET or similar ecosystems.
* Experience driving large architectural programmes, especially monolith‑to‑microservices transitions.
* Deep understanding of event‑driven design, reliability, and performance at scale.
* Ability to balance strategic direction with hands‑on technical guidance.
* Strong influence and communication across engineering, product, and executive stakeholders.
* Track record of building high‑performing teams and elevating engineering culture.
Why Join
You will steer a major, business‑critical platform rebuild from the ground up, shaping the engineering organization for years to come. This is a high‑impact leadership role with genuine strategic influence and a strong long‑term reward package.
