Senior Engineering Manager – St Albans (Hybrid)

£100,000-£110,000 + Bonus + Shares

A long‑established, high‑growth technology company is beginning a full architectural rebuild following multiple acquisitions. They are unifying several platforms into a single source of truth and scaling for major new markets over the next five years. The company is hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the engineering organization through this transformation, setting direction, driving delivery, and building a high‑performing team capable of delivering a world‑class, event‑driven platform.

In this role you will guide teams as they decouple a large monolith into a distributed, high‑throughput event‑driven system that will process tens of millions of events per day. The position combines technical leadership, organizational management, and strategic delivery.

• Lead and scale the engineering organization (hiring, performance, coaching, structure).
• Set engineering strategy, standards, and long‑term technical direction.
• Drive delivery of an architecture transformation to event‑driven micro‑services.
• Partner with Product, Architecture, and senior leadership to define and execute the roadmap.
• Oversee delivery across multiple squads, ensuring quality, velocity, and resilience.
• Shape engineering culture: reliability, ownership, automation, and continuous improvement.
• Manage budgets, supplier relationships, and resource planning.
• Ensure modern, efficient practices across CI/CD, observability, security, and cloud operations.

• Proven leadership of engineering teams within scaling or transforming environments.
• Strong technical background in distributed systems, cloud‑native design, and modern .NET or similar ecosystems.
• Experience driving large architectural programmes, especially monolith‑to‑microservices transitions.
• Deep understanding of event‑driven design, reliability, and performance at scale.
• Ability to balance strategic direction with hands‑on technical guidance.
• Strong influence and communication across engineering, product, and executive stakeholders.
• Track record of building high‑performing teams and elevating engineering culture.

You will steer a major, business‑critical platform rebuild from the ground up, shaping the engineering organization for years to come. This is a high‑impact leadership role with genuine strategic influence and a strong long‑term reward package.
