This role is dedicated to a PCS product, working closely with our UK product engineering teams.

What you will work on

As Engineering Manager, you will build and lead a new team of 6 engineers in India delivering a PCS product, working closely with a counterpart engineering team in the UK. You will start hands-on contributing directly to code for roughly half your time - while establishing team practices, hiring, and delivery rhythm. As the team matures and grows (including a planned second team under your leadership), your contribution will shift from hands-on coding toward team leadership, coaching and cross-team coordination.

Responsibilities

• Hire, build and lead a new engineering team of 6 in India, growing the team's capability and, over time, a second team under the same remit
• Contribute hands-on to design, engineering and delivery of features - approximately 50% of your time initially, tapering as the team scales and matures

• Work closely with the UK product engineering team to align on delivery scope, priorities and technical direction for the shared PCS product
• Champion continuous delivery, with testing and security embedded in CI/CD pipelines, and promote DevSecOps practices across the team
• Make significant contributions to technical and architectural decisions, keeping systems, standards and practices coherent with the wider PCS engineering organisation
• Identify and remove blockers, process inefficiencies and technical debt proactively
• Be accountable for the full software development lifecycle - from design through to production, monitoring and support
• Foster a learning and mentoring culture; actively coach engineers and help them grow
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, QA and Design to achieve shared product outcomes

Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including experience as an Engineering Manager or senior technical lead of a team, with a strong portfolio of C#/.NET applications
• Deep understanding of the C#/.NET ecosystem, and experience with cloud platforms (Azure and/or AWS) and cloud-native development
• Experience with modern DevOps/CI-CD practices
• Strong understanding of RESTful API design, security (e.g. OWASP API Security) and system architecture at scale
• Proven experience building and leading a team from the ground up - hiring, structuring, and establishing delivery practices for a new team
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience collaborating across distributed or international teams
• Capable and comfortable working with Agile/Scrum methodologies, and coaching a team on them
• Good understanding of database technologies, message queues, and data security
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills, with a fix-forward, learning mindset
• Bachelor's/master's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• Experience working with, or managing engineers who use, AI-assisted development tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot)

Bonus points for

• Experience managing or growing a second team, or scaling an engineering org from one team to several
• Prior experience in healthcare, care or pharmacy technology, or another highly regulated environment
• Experience with cloud migration projects or multi-cloud environments
• Prior experience in a post-acquisition or newly integrated engineering organisation
