Engineering Manager, Agent Experience

the team in planning and stakeholder discussions, and align with product, design and other engineering teams on priorities. Ensure

the team maintains high operational excellence - managed technical debt, SRE and healthy on-call. Hire and grow

the team, and stay technically engaged through architecture and design discussions. What You’ll Need to Thrive Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others: 6+ years of commercial engineering experience, including 2+ years leading a team. A full-stack background with primary depth in backend development (e.g. Go, Python or Node.js), and willingness to contribute to the frontend (e.g. React) when

the team needs it. A T-shaped profile - broad across technologies rather than specialised in a single one. A heavy adopter of AI, both for productivity and for engineering (e.g. using Claude Code to increase

the team’s delivery velocity). Strong communication skills, and comfort operating in an ambiguous, dynamic environment where operational priorities shift. A track record of running complex projects that span and affect multiple engineering teams. Experience hiring, recruiting and mentoring engineers, and setting clear expectations and a strong team culture. Low ego and a strong sense of ownership - team-first, able to balance servant leadership with making the tough calls.

Nice to Have Experience with infrastructure and cloud tooling (e.g. Kubernetes, AWS, Datadog). An SRE background - on-call experience, SLOs and alerts management. Experience building internal tooling, operational platforms or other complex, data-dense product UIs.
