Senior Engineering Manager

Senior Engineering Manager

Hybrid (London/Bath/Edinburgh-monthly travel)

Salary - up to £115,000

I'm working with a fast-scaling tech client at the forefront of cloud-native investment infrastructure. They're on a mission to redefine how platforms are built and operated in regulated environments and we're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead their Cloud Resilience team.

This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role where you'll shape the future of their core infrastructure. You'll guide a talented team of engineers, drive strategic delivery, and take ownership of a platform that supports millions of transactions and users across the UK.

We're looking for someone who has been on the journey of scaling before, in SaaS, fintech, or other regulated industries like online gambling. You're hands-on, pragmatic, and passionate about building resilient systems that empower product teams.

Essential skill set:

Experience leading cloud-native teams in AWS and serverless Lambda

Strong grasp of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), observability (Datadog), and serverless architecture

Background in software engineering (JavaScript/TypeScript preferred)

Proven leadership in growing and developing engineering teams

Product mindset with stakeholder engagement and roadmap ownership

FinTech or scale-up background

Containerisation lifecycle (not just in Kubernetes)

Experience developing GitHub pipelines

Nice-to-Haves

Experience with MongoDB performance tuning

Familiarity with Node.js environments

Exposure to regulated sectors (CASS knowledge is a big plus)

Comfortable with scripting, tooling, and platform metrics

This is a rare opportunity to lead a team that sits at the heart of a high-growth, mission-driven tech company. If you're ready to take ownership of a platform that powers real-world impact, and want to work with smart, driven engineers I'd love to hear from you.
