We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead multiple teams into AI-native, agentic software delivery - building products used by thousands of eCommerce merchants worldwide. We're not hiring for where engineering was. We're hiring for where it's going.\nyour impact\nYou'll lead several engineering teams and their managers, and shape how we build software as AI reshapes the craft. From spec to delivery, you'll move us toward agentic and multi-agent workflows - with the quality, security and cost controls to back them up.

Keep building with new tools yourself so you stay sharp.\n\nDrive adoption of our AI development standards, including quality controls for AI-generated code. Manage AI tooling spend against the value it delivers, and escalate tooling gaps that block progress.\n\nManage cross-team dependencies and handoffs, especially as agentic workflows change how work moves between teams.\n\nLead hiring, performance and leadership development - growing your managers' AI fluency and recognising progress in performance and promotion decisions.\n\nKeep us secure and compliant, including governing what data AI tools and models can access.\n\nwhat you'll bring\n8+ years in software engineering, including 4+ years in leadership, ideally managing managers.\n\nA degree in Computer Science or Engineering, or equivalent experience.\n\nA track record of scaling engineering organisations and landing new practices across multiple teams.\n\nDeep knowledge of large-scale system design, microservices and cloud-native architecture.\n\nRecent hands-on experience building working apps or tools with AI development tooling, and a clear view of its cost, security and quality tradeoffs.\n\nExperience balancing tech debt, reliability and feature delivery.\n\nExperience managing budgets, headcount and resourcing, including AI tooling and token spend.\n\nThe influence to shape executive decisions and product strategy, and the coaching skills to grow strong leaders.\n\nNice to have :\nExperience leading agentic workflows\n\neCommerce experience, especially with Shopify\n\nDon't tick every box?

We do this across our products: Clearer, Boost Commerce, REVIEWS.io and Influence, used by thousands of merchants worldwide.\nWe're a global team with offices in Australia, the UK, Germany, Vietnam and the US, backed for the long term by PSG Equity and Silversmith Capital Partners.\nWe care about doing the work properly: listening first, building second and shipping quickly where it matters. Results matter more than rhetoric.\nWhat guides us day to day:\nCustomers at the heart: we obsess over their needs so we can grow together\n\nPurposeful progress: we don't settle - we take initiative and embrace bold thinking\n\nEndless innovation: we refine, improve, and take meaningful action\n\nAlways open: we build trust through transparency and global collaboration\n\nclear benefits\nPrivate Medical Insurance with Vitality from day one - including private GP access, a 24/7 medical helpline and advanced cancer cover\n\nDental, optical and hearing cover\n\nMental health support - unlimited CBT (first 8 sessions without GP referral) and a confidential Employee Assistance Programme\n\n20 days PTO and 6 bank holidays - plus the full week off between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day\n\nHybrid working\n\nYour birthday off - a full paid day, just for you, every year\n\nGive Back Day - a paid day each year to volunteer for a cause you care about\n\nBonusly peer recognition - real-time shout-outs tied to our values, with points that convert to real rewards\n\nClearer Together - each quarter, one employee who exemplifies our values wins a fully-funded 5-night trip to one of our global offices (Sydney, Berlin, Leicester, Irvine or Ho Chi Minh City)\n\nStopover - travelling near one of our offices?
