Big banks were slow, their products weren't fit for purpose, and small business owners often couldn't access what they needed. We set out to fix that.\nToday we're a financial platform - not just a credit card company. We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier. \n1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable. We’ve done a pretty good job so far, but we’re just getting started! \nThis is a Hybrid role, the Engineering team work from our London (Moorgate) Offices 2 days per week.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\nAs an Engineering Manager, you’ll own the health, delivery and direction of several product engineering teams and the Team Leads who run them.

You’ll make sure what they build is architecturally sound, scalable and built to last.

We use .NET and React but we aren’t zoomed in on your tech stack background.\nA record of leading and delivering complex, cross-team projects\nExcellent communication: concise, clear and adaptable to audiences from engineers to senior leadership\nCalm, stabilising leadership through ambiguity and fast organisational growth\nExperience in a scaling, regulated, fintech or tech-enabled environment is a plus\nDiversity & Inclusion \nWe welcome, consider and encourage applications from anyone who shares our commitment to inclusivity.
