At Ocean Infinity , we're on a bold mission to subsea data using innovative technology. Using cutting-edge robotics, autonomous technology and world-class software, we're transforming how complex operations are carried out at sea. Our uncrewed systems are making ocean exploration and operations safer, smarter and more sustainable , helping unlock the vast potential of our oceans while reducing environmental impact. This isn't a vision for the future. It's happening right now. As we continue to push the boundaries of innovation and redefine what's possible in the maritime industry, we're looking for exceptional talent to join our fast-growing team.
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 escalat[e] 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.
Nice to have!
- Experience managing distributed or multi-location teams. Previous experience in marine, defence, or aerospace.
