Job title: Engineering Manager
Location: London (Hybrid)
My client is looking for an Engineering Manager to join a high growth fintech startup at a really exciting stage. This is a hands off role however for someone who enjoys being close to the product, working with a small team, and helping shape both the technical direction and how the team operates as we scale.
You’ll be working closely with product and leadership, owning delivery end-to-end, and playing a key role in how we use technology including AI to move faster and build better.
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit at a distance we need someone pragmatic, sleeves rolled up, and comfortable wearing a few different hats when needed.
