Software Engineering Manager

Software Engineering Manager – AI Start-Up – up to £140k (base) plus Equity

Every so often, a technology emerges that doesn’t just improve an industry—it completely reimagines it.

Few&Far have partnered with a visionary, privately-funded company at the heart of this transformation. With significant private investment, a talented global team, and a suite of proprietary AI models, they are building a next-generation platform that\’s already attracting major industry players.

Here’s what’s cool about them:

• The Product: They develop proprietary, cutting-edge AI focused on solving complex, high-stakes production challenges for leading media enterprises.
• The Traction: They have moved beyond R&D with live products, significant commercial interest from top-tier clients, and a clear path to category leadership.
• The Culture: A deep engineering culture, structured into autonomous, cross-functional teams that own their missions.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Manage and grow a cross-functional product engineering team within a new, scalable organisational structure.
• Balance hands-on people leadership—including coaching, performance management, and career development—with maintaining strong technical oversight and context.
• Collaborate on architecture and system design, contributing to a culture of engineering excellence and autonomous delivery within sprint cycles.
• Play a key role in scaling the product engineering function during a pivotal phase of company growth.

Here’s what they are looking for:

• A technically credible leader with engineering management experience, including navigating performance management and promotion processes.
• Someone who remains closely engaged with technology and system design—this role requires an EM who hasn’t left hands-on engineering behind.
• A product-minded and pragmatic problem-solver, ideally with experience scaling processes from startup to scale-up.
• A background in strong, collaborative engineering cultures
