Job Description:

Ready to lead a talented team building cutting-edge technology?

Do you thrive in environments that mix deep tech with long-term impact?

Looking for your next step into a strategic leadership role where innovation is at the heart of everything?

Our client, a pioneering player in next-generation computing technology, is looking for an experienced Software Engineering Manager to lead a growing and technically exceptional software team. This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership position at the heart of a company building revolutionary computing systems.

Why This Role is Great

In this unique role, you'll:

• Shape the development of a multi-layered software stack, including real-time control, compiler layers, and application-level demonstrations.
• Work directly with world-class engineers and scientists to support the development of game-changing technologies.
• Lead a team of ten (and growing) software engineers and define processes across DevOps, release management, and technical support.
• Take ownership of both the technical roadmap and the people strategy, helping scale the team into a world-class engineering function.
• Influence architecture and systems that span from FPGA-based real-time control to Python and Rust-based development environments.

About You

This role will suit a strong technical leader who is excited to:

• Bring their experience across embedded systems, compilers, complex systems or deep tech into a future-facing sector.
• Balance high-level strategy with hands-on support for a skilled engineering team.
• Manage complex, fast-moving projects while maintaining quality and fostering team wellbeing.
• Drive long-term planning while remaining agile to changing priorities.
• Enjoy collaborating across disciplines, including physics, electronics, and software.

You’ll build on your experience of:

• Leading and scaling software engineering teams.
• Managing delivery pipelines, roadmaps, and cross-team processes.
• Working with modern software stacks – experience in Python and/or Rust is ideal but not essential.
• Nurturing team growth through performance reviews, mentoring, and development planning.

What’s On Offer

• Be part of a mission-led company creating world-first technologies.
• Join a collaborative environment that values curiosity, quality, and creativity.
• Private medical and dental insurance for you and your family
• Flexible and hybrid working options
• Stock options in a ground-breaking business

Inclusion Matters

We and our client are committed to building diverse teams where everyone feels welcome, respected, and able to do their best work. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply – even if your experience doesn’t tick every box.
