A fast-growing SaaS company is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead and develop a high-performing team of full-stack developers working on a widely used, scalable digital platform.

You’ll play a key role in shaping engineering culture, guiding technical delivery, and supporting a talented team that works across C#, JavaScript, modern web technologies, cloud infrastructure, and data services.

This is a hands‑on leadership role ideal for someone who enjoys coaching developers, driving technical excellence, and influencing long‑term product and engineering direction.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, mentor, and support a distributed team of full‑stack engineers
• Develop and maintain a strong engineering culture focused on autonomy, collaboration, and high‑quality delivery
• Guide technical planning, execution, testing practices, and continuous improvement
• Partner with product and design teams to deliver features and enhancements across a large‑scale SaaS platform
• Participate in technical discussions, architectural decisions, and long‑term strategic direction
• Remove delivery blockers, clarify priorities, and streamline processes across engineering
• Support developers in skill development, career growth, and sustainable delivery rhythms
• Optionally engage in code reviews or provide hands‑on support for complex technical challenges

What You’ll Bring

• Experience managing or mentoring software developers in a high‑performing engineering team
• Technical background, ideally with C# and JavaScript
• Familiarity with technologies used in modern SaaS environments (e.g., ASP.NET MVC, HTML5, CSS, Canvas API, WebAudio API, SQL databases, Azure, Selenium)
• Excellent communication skills, with an ability to bring structure and clarity to complex situations
• A passion for developing people, improving processes, and enabling effective, scalable engineering practices

Why It’s a Great Fit

You’ll have the autonomy to shape engineering culture, support talented developers, and influence the evolution of a high‑growth SaaS platform. It’s a chance to lead meaningful technical work in a remote‑first, product‑driven organisation with long‑term ambitions.
