Engineering Manager

London (Hybrid – minimum 1 day per week in office)

Up to £160,000 base + Equity Options + benefits

Our client is a fast-growing technology company building enterprise-grade software that enables institutions to operate securely within the crypto ecosystem. The business bridges established financial services and on-chain technologies, supporting regulated organisations as they adopt and scale digital-asset operations.

The company works with a large and growing base of enterprise customers, including financial institutions and public-sector organisations. With engineering teams distributed across Europe and the US, and London positioned as a key growth hub, the organisation is continuing to scale at pace.

As part of this growth, we’re exclusively supporting them in hiring three Engineering Managers.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop two engineering teams of up to 14 Engineers and Tech Leads
• Own delivery, execution, and overall team performance
• Drive improvements in engineering process, delivery predictability, and quality
• Manage complex people challenges, including performance management and team development
• Partner closely with technical leadership on planning, prioritisation, and execution
• Contribute to hiring strategy, interview processes, and onboarding as the organisation scales
• Ensure clear communication and alignment across engineering teams

Requirements

• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager in a fast-growing technology environment
• Strong technical background (backend, platform, or systems engineering)
• Experience managing senior engineers, hands-on ICs, and Tech Leads
• Demonstrated ability to improve team performance and delivery
• Experience working in cloud-native environments
• Comfortable operating in complex, data-intensive systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Additional Information

The engineering organisation primarily works with Rust and TypeScript, alongside modern cloud infrastructure and tooling. Direct expertise in these technologies is not required; however, candidates should be comfortable leading teams operating in a modern, backend-focused, cloud-native environment and engaging credibly with senior, hands-on engineers.

This role requires a minimum of one day per week in the London office to support collaboration and effective team leadership.

Why Join?

• Lead teams building mission-critical infrastructure used by large, regulated institutions
• Play a key role in scaling an engineering organisation during a high-growth phase
• Work closely with senior technical leadership and influence how engineering operates
• Remote-first working model with limited in-office requirement
• Opportunity to work on technically complex, high-impact systems
