(Fully Remote) Engineering Manager: B2C Fintech Company - Up to £130k

Imagine a Fintech lender that actually feels fair, simple, and human. Now imagine leading an engineering transformation that makes that experience scale to hundreds of thousands of customers.

Few&Far have partnered with an independent lender with serious funding and a clear vision: to give its customers a straightforward approach to finance.

Now, they need a hands on Engineering Manager to lead a small team through a major platform migration.

Here’s what you’ll be doing

• Own the delivery of a high visibility migration from planning through to execution.
• Set clear delivery plans, give regular and honest progress updates, and manage expectations with senior stakeholders when the pressure is on.
• Line manage five engineers, running 1:1s, supporting their development and building a team that delivers with ownership.
• Contribute hands on across a Java back end, and play a key role in architecture and design decisions for the new platform.

Here’s what they are looking for

• Experience as an Engineering Manager leading a team while staying genuinely hands on.
• Experience leading a system migration is highly relevant.
• You can communicate clearly under pressure, keep senior people informed and build trust through reliable delivery.
• Strong architecture and system design skills, with the judgement to make sound technical decisions on a high stakes project.
