Job description

Join us in redefining the creator economy with AI

Fanvue is the fastest-growing creator monetisation platform in the creator economy. We are the leading AI-powered creator-first platform, designed to empower creators worldwide to directly monetise their audience. We’re on a mission to redefine the creator economy by empowering creators to connect, share, and earn more efficiently.

The Role

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead some of Fanvue’s most business-critical streams across Creator Earnings and Acquisition & Activation, while also championing engineering performance, stability, and delivery velocity.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for someone who can operate as a player-coach. You’ll own outcomes across both external growth metrics and internal engineering excellence, building high-performing teams and mechanisms that scale with the business.

What You’ll Do

• Own engineering delivery and partner closely with Product to drive Creator Earnings, NRR, Creator Conversion, Activation, and K-Factor
• Lead the engineering roadmap for Creator Earnings, including monetisation features, partner integrations, and platform services
• Build and scale the Acquisition and Activation streams, improving onboarding, reducing time to first earnings, and embedding viral growth loops
• Champion engineering performance and reliability, holding your teams accountable to elite DORA metrics
• Embed a strong P0 post-mortem culture, ensuring incidents lead to real, prioritised improvements
• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of senior engineers through high-quality 1:1s, coaching, and clear expectations
• Act as a first point of escalation for incidents, owning reliability under a You Build It, You Run It model
• Conduct hands‑on architectural and code reviews, maintaining a high bar for quality and scalability
• Monitor and communicate progress across both business KPIs and engineering metrics, using clear, data‑driven narratives
• Proactively manage technical debt to protect long‑term velocity

Who You Are

• A senior engineering leader with a deep sense of ownership and accountability
• Comfortable operating as a player‑coach, combining people leadership with hands‑on technical judgment
• Strong experience building and scaling distributed systems on AWS, using modern, containerised architectures
• Product‑ and business‑minded, able to connect engineering work directly to outcomes like Avg. Earning Per Creator, NRR, and K-Factor
• Experienced working in high‑velocity environments where speed and stability are not trade‑offs
• Fluent in DevOps and reliability metrics, with a proven track record of improving Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, Change Failure Rate, and MTTR
• A strong communicator with the confidence to challenge priorities, protect quality, and make tough decisions
• Someone who believes deeply in You Build It, You Run It and leads by example

✨ You’ll Thrive Here If

• You enjoy owning outcomes, not just managing teams
• You like operating at the intersection of product growth and engineering excellence
• You care deeply about performance, reliability, and long‑term velocity
• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and motivated by impact

⚠️ You’ll Struggle Here If

• You prefer purely people management without technical accountability
• You see reliability as someone else’s problem
• You’re uncomfortable holding high standards under pressure

Why Join Fanvue?

• Lead streams that directly impact creator earnings and company growth
• Influence both product direction and engineering culture
• Competitive salary aligned with senior engineering management bands
• A culture that values innovation, ownership, transparency, and speed
• Unlimited holiday
• Remote working
• Flexible hours, according to when you perform best
• Budget for growth and wellbeing
