Job description

Business Manager UK and Europe | DevOps and Infrastructure at Uniting Cloud

Development Manager / Software Engineering Manager

Northwest (Hybrid)

We’re scaling fast — and we need a tech leader who can keep us ahead of the curve. Our software department is growing to 50+ engineers across multiple squads, and we’re looking for someone who’s not just about management, but about vision, impact, and engineering excellence.

What You’ll Do

• Set the direction: Define the technical roadmap, shape architecture decisions, and keep us future-ready.
• Raise the bar: Champion clean code, robust engineering practices, and a culture of quality.
• Build & scale teams: You’ve grown engineering squads before and know how to create an environment where people thrive.
• Deliver at pace: You’ll make sure we ship fast without compromising standards.

Who You Are

• A proven engineering leader with a strong software background.
• Someone who’s scaled teams, driven delivery, and knows what "great" looks like.
• Equally comfortable in the code review as in the strategy room.
• Excited by growth, change, and building products that make a difference.

Why Join Us

• Lead a department where your technical decisions shape the product and the business.
• Hybrid working — flexibility to work from home and our North-West hub.
• A culture that values innovation, autonomy, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
• The chance to grow with us as we scale to the next level.
