Engineering Manager

Role: Engineering Manager

Salary: £100,000 - £110,000 (+10% bonus)

Industry: FinTech

Working Model: Remote First (London HQ - 1 day per month in office)

About the Company

WeDo have partnered with a high-growth FinTech scale-up reshaping embedded finance. They’re entering “scale-up” phase and now need two Engineering Managers to add maturity as they scale.

About the Role

This is a hands-off technical leadership role. You’ll join a product-aligned squad and be responsible for owning delivery, guiding architecture, and enabling engineers to do their best work. This role is ideal for someone who has a passion about clean code but whose true strength lies in technical direction, people development and management, and building high-performing teams. You’ll be given space to embed, observe, and understand before driving change. That’s intentional as leadership here is about enablement, not ego.

You’ll lead a team of 6 IC Full Stack Software Engineers. Testing is owned by the Engineers, and Platform is owned by the Platform team. That said, CI/CD pipelines are owned by the team.

Experience Needed

• You’ve led a team before in at least 2 organisations. You’ll know what good & bad looks like.
• You can speak to trade-offs, design patterns, and architecture decisions in production environments
• You’re pragmatic about process, calm under pressure, and low ego
• You have line managed high performing teams, 1to1's, promotions etc
• You’ve worked in high-paced startup or scale-up environments
• Bonus points for experience with credit/lending products or integrations

Tech Stack

• Backend: C# .NET (event-driven, domain-driven design)
• Frontend: Angular
• Infrastructure: AWS (EKS), Docker, Terraform (Azure background also welcome)
• Databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL
• Platform is mature and stable and most work is forward-facing (new features and integrations)

Interview Process

1. Intro Interview – with Director of Engineering
2. System Design Task – assess architecture and design decisions
3. Leadership & Delivery Assessment – focused on people, process, and execution
4. Cross-functional Meet & Greet – with Product Managers and VP of Engineering

What “Good” Looks Like

• Calm under pressure, humble, pragmatic, and curious
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and moving fast
• Embedded leadership style …listen and learn before acting
• Clear communicator with an eye for delivery, quality, and architecture
