Senior Engineering Manager

£100,000-£110,000 + Bonus + Shares St Albans (Hybrid)

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 market expansion over the next five years.

They are hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the engineering organisation through this transformation, setting direction, driving delivery, and building a high-performing team capable of delivering a world-class, event-driven platform.

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. This role combines technical leadership, organisational management, and strategic delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and scale the engineering organisation (hiring, performance, coaching, structure).
• Set engineering strategy, standards, and long-term technical direction.
• Drive delivery of a multi-year architectural transformation to event-driven microservices.
• 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 organisation for years to come. This is a high-impact leadership role with genuine strategic influence and a strong long-term reward package.
