Full Job Posting

What you will do! 🚀

  • Line-manage a group of engineers: run regular 1:1s, give feedback, and own their career development.
  • Own performance management, recognition and reward for your engineers.
  • Lead recruitment, onboarding and retention across your group.
  • Own capacity and resource planning – decide where engineering resource is deployed and flag constraints early.
  • Work with engineers to allocate them to projects, and manage workload to ensure projects can be delivered on time and with a high level of quality.
  • Work with the product team and other team leads to resolve resource constraints and balance competing demands for capacity.
  • Build the succession and technical leadership pipeline within your group, and identify capability gaps before they affect the team.
  • Protect team health, engagement and working environment, and escalate organisational, staffing or performance issues that threaten delivery.

What we look for!🔍

  • Several years’ experience managing and developing software engineers, ideally within a scaling engineering organisation.
  • A track record of hiring, retaining and developing engineering talent, including into more senior or lead roles.
  • Comfortable balancing competing demands for engineering capacity across multiple concurrent projects or squads.
  • Strong 1:1, coaching and feedback skills, with the judgement to handle performance issues fairly and directly.
  • Enough technical credibility in engineering to earn the trust of the engineers you manage – you don’t need to own the technology, but you need to know how it works.
  • Comfortable with capacity/resource planning and making trade-off calls under constraint.
  • Genuine care for people’s development, combined with the willingness to have hard conversations about performance.

  • Experience managing distributed or multi-location teams.
  • Familiarity with ROS or similar robotics middleware, even if not hands-on day-to-day.
  • Previous experience in marine, defence, or aerospace.
