Engineering Manager – AI Agents & Platform
This is not a traditional Engineering Manager role. If you don\’t actively use AI tools to build, test and ship software, this won\’t be a fit. If you do…keep reading.
We\’re leading the search for an Engineering Manager for a fast‐growing AI‐native company building production‐grade AI agents used by real customers, at real scale.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, AI systems, and customer outcomes. You\’ll lead engineers, but you\’ll also build, deploy, and own what ships.
What makes this different
Lead teams building and deploying AI agents in production
Own customer outcomes (automation rates, reliability, quality)
Make architectural calls across agents, workflows, integrations and evals
Turn real‐world deployment learnings into platform improvements
Work directly with customers, product and leadership
You\’ll still write code (perhaps with the help of Claude code/Cursor).
AI skills are a requirement
You don\’t need to be an AI researcher, but you do need or want to be AI‐native.
Ideally you would:
Be comfortable building with modern AI tooling (Claude Code, LLMs, agents)
Use AI as part of your daily development workflow
Understand how agents behave in production (evals, failure modes, reliability)
You\’ll thrive there if you
Are deeply technical and outcome‐driven
Enjoy ambiguity and ownership
Think like a founder, not a caretaker
Care more about impact than process
Why do people enjoy this role
Real ownership, real impact
AI at the core, not a side project
Competitive salary + equity
Fully remote (UK/EU)
