We are currently hiring for a seasoned Engineering Manager with proven experience leading high-performing engineering teams within the financial services or fintech sectors. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a dynamic and innovative organisation shaping the future of digital finance. The role is based in London with hybrid working arrangements and offers an initial 6-month contract.
As an Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for managing and mentoring a team of 5 to 15 engineers, supporting their ongoing development, and ensuring the high-quality delivery of complex technical projects. You will possess strong architectural capabilities and must have hands-on experience with event-driven architecture and event sourcing. A deep understanding of distributed systems and scalable software design is essential, along with the ability to ensure architectural best practices across engineering teams.
You will play a critical role in strategic planning and product delivery, working closely with both technical teams and senior business stakeholders. Your ability to clearly communicate complex technical ideas to non-technical stakeholders, and align engineering strategy with business goals, will be vital for success in this role. Applicants should be confident in navigating fast-paced, regulated environments and capable of making informed decisions under pressure.
The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in the financial services sector, with a solid background in software development, preferably in back-end systems and services. You should have previously managed engineering teams in agile environments and supported product managers, architects, and other cross-functional leads in delivering end-to-end solutions.
This role offers the opportunity to have a measurable impact on mission-critical systems, supporting the delivery of reliable and efficient financial technology solutions. If you are an experienced engineering leader with a passion for architectural excellence and stakeholder collaboration, we encourage you to apply.
