Software Engineering Manager

You will be focused on a domain within our Engineering function, our area that works directly with clients to leverage the Kaluza platform to meet client needs in new regions.

You will manage teams of engineers, up to 10 direct reports. Engineering Managers contribute to both the technical and product vision of their teams, making sure that their products are successful.

You’ll nurture the engineering talent in your teams, encouraging personal development, managing performance and ensuring everyone is aligned with product delivery objectives.

You’ll work closely with our clients, alongside product managers and client success teams, to ensure we are delivering real value within their wider programme.

You’ll work closely with engineers in your team and your peers to contribute to and drive the technical roadmap and strategy for your area.

You’ll be a champion of operational excellence in your area and help your team be the best they can be.
