As Engineering Manager for our Back-office engineering teams, you will own the day-to-day leadership, delivery, and development of a team of senior engineers working on the core of our platform. You will report directly to the Ohpen Landing Platform (OLP) Engineering Director and work closely with our OLP architects, product team, and client-facing teams. This is a people-first leadership role. You will be expected to build a high-performing, motivated team, drive delivery with clarity and accountability, and create the conditions for your engineers to do their best work. You are not expected to be the best coder in the room - you are expected to make the room better. Briefing

Drive delivery of product and platform initiatives with clarity on scope, timelines, and trade-offs - and communicate these proactively to stakeholders
Build a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence within your team
Collaborate with product team and client success teams to translate business requirements into executable engineering plans
Establish and maintain clear metrics for team performance, delivery quality, and operational health -  and act on them
Actively embed AI tooling and an AI-first mindset into how your team designs, builds, and ships software
Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and retaining top engineering talent
Identify and address risks early - whether technical, delivery-related, or people-related

About You

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Experience & background

Proven experience as an Engineering Manager leading multiple software engineering teams
Background in enterprise SaaS - you understand regulated, production-critical environments, background in financial services is an advantage
Experience delivering complex software platforms; you can have an informed technical conversation without being in the weeds
Track record of building delivery structure: OKRs, RAG reporting, sprint discipline, and metrics that actually drive decisions
Demonstrated ability to develop engineers - not just manage them

Mindset & approach

Results-oriented: you set clear goals, hold yourself and your team accountable, and don't mistake activity for progress
AI-native: you actively explore how AI tooling can accelerate your team's output, improve quality, and reduce toil - and you bring your team along on that journey
Direct and honest communicator - you surface problems early, propose solutions, and don't wait for someone else to call it
Comfortable with ambiguity: you can operate in a scaling organization where not everything is defined yet
Our working language is English
