As part of this journey, they're looking for an Engineering Manager to build and lead a brand-new engineering function focused on developing scalable Python services, API architecture, and large-scale data integrations that enable AI products across the organisation.

- Leading engineers developing Python-based APIs and Back End services.
- Driving integration of large, complex datasets from multiple sources.
- Working with Product, Data and Architecture teams to define technical strategy.
- Establishing engineering best practices, delivery processes and team culture.
- Supporting architectural decision-making around scalability, performance and reliability.
- Coaching and developing engineers while creating a high-performing team environment.
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience leading software engineering teams.
- Strong technical background in Back End engineering, ideally with Python.
- Experience delivering API-first platforms and distributed systems.
- Exposure to data-intensive environments and large-scale integrations.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Experience balancing technical leadership with people management.
Why This Role?
- Opportunity to build a team from the ground up.
- Significant influence over engineering culture and technical direction.
- High-profile programme supporting enterprise-wide AI initiatives.
- Strong executive backing and investment.
- Hybrid working model with London-based collaboration.
- Salary up to £140,000 plus bonus and benefits.
