Engineering Manager
Engineering Manager | Manchester | Hybrid
About the role
Myn is supporting a global platform business with a number of hires at Engineering Manager level as part of a broader evolution within engineering.
These roles sit within individual teams. You’ll lead a cross-functional engineering pod, with responsibility for delivery, team performance and how engineers operate day to day.
The environment is already established, with real systems, scale and complexity. The focus is on improving consistency, strengthening engineering practices and ensuring teams deliver predictably.
Responsibilities
Lead a cross-functional engineering team (engineers + QA/automation)
Own team delivery, ensuring work is aligned, predictable and executed effectively
Manage, coach and develop engineers across performance, growth and career progression
Create a strong team environment with clear standards, ownership and accountability
Run and improve core delivery practices (planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, reviews)
Identify blockers, inefficiencies and risks, and address them early
Maintain visibility into day-to-day engineering work, including code quality and delivery progress
Work closely with product and stakeholders on priorities, scope and trade-offs
Support adoption of modern engineering practices (CI/CD, automation, observability)
Drive improvements in flow, release processes and overall delivery effectiveness
Contribute to system reliability, scalability and operational performance
Collaborate with senior engineers and architects on design and technical direction
Requirements
Experience leading software engineering teams as an Engineering Manager
Strong technical background, able to guide engineers without being hands-on
Experience working in production environments with scale, distributed systems or complexity
Track record of improving team delivery and performance
Familiarity with modern engineering practices (CI/CD, automation, observability)
Experience working in agile environments and collaborating with product stakeholders
Strong leadership, communication and organisational skills
Nice to have
Experience in complex or regulated environments
Exposure to platform, infrastructure or backend-heavy systems
Experience working in organisations going through change or growth
Awareness of engineering metrics such as lead time, deployment frequency or system reliability
The environment
Teams are already in place, delivering against a live product used at scale.
The focus now is on improving how teams operate, increasing consistency in delivery, and strengthening engineering standards across the organisation.
You’ll be part of a wider engineering group, working alongside other teams, managers and senior leadership to improve how delivery works overall.
