You will bring together two engineering organisations into one unified team, run our largest engineering hub outside of Sydney, and serve as the primary engineering partner for our UK commercial and product leaders. Reporting to the CTO in Sydney, you will work closely with executives in London and operate with the clarity and self-direction that distance requires.\n Unify two orgs into one. The team is 35 engineers across two engineering organisations, growing towards 50. You will manage six to eight direct reports (all engineering managers) and establish a unified standard for how both teams plan, build, ship, and hold each other accountable.\nRun the London engineering site. Serve as the senior engineering voice in the building, including dotted-line support for US-focused teams based in London. That means setting the tone, facilitating local leadership forums, and making London a place where exceptional engineers join and stay.\nTranslate commercial outcomes. Partner directly with UK commercial, clinical, and product leaders as a true peer. You will serve as the primary contact across the business, evaluating trade-offs through a commercial lens and communicating them rather than escalating them.\nShape what we build, not just how. Evaluate whether proposed initiatives deliver real value and instil that thoughtful product instinct across your management team.\nBuild and mentor the team. Own senior hiring in London, set clear quality standards, and mentor engineering managers to become skilled hiring partners who can recruit effectively.\nRaise engineering standards. Strengthen delivery predictability, quality, and operational reliability across a distributed organisation spanning Sydney, London, and the US.\nAbout You\nYou’ve managed an engineering organisation of 30+ people through managers, with at least five years of experience developing other managers.\nYou have experience guiding an organisation through significant structural change such as an integration, restructure, or operational overhaul where teams emerged stronger. You can reflect openly on the parts that went badly and what you learned.\nYou use AI tooling in your own work, and you've changed how a team builds with it rather than just your own workflow. You can say what it made better, what it made worse, and where you chose not to use it.\nYou’ve demonstrated commercial fluency, holding constructive conversations on revenue, margin, and prioritisation while making speed, scope, and risk trade-offs clear and explicit.\nYou have experience building and scaling systems from the ground up, rather than simply maintaining a machine that already runs itself.\nYou are technically strong and partner credibly with senior engineers, you evaluate system architecture, and spot when technical estimates lack substance. Coding is not the job, but you are comfortable getting on the tools to prototype an idea or unblock your team, and you can govern an ecosystem built on React, React Native, TypeScript, Go microservices, GraphQL, Kubernetes, and GCP.\nYou are comfortable managing a site distant from headquarters across various time zones. You leverage asynchronous communication, operating with high agency, independence, and clarity.\nNice to Have\nExperience in regulated sectors (such as healthtech, fintech or gaming), finding creative paths forward inside compliance constraints rather than being stopped by them.\nExperience navigating post-acquisition organisational integration and the messy alignment work that follows.\nWhy join Eucalyptus\nWhat's next - Our goal for the next three years is to support 1 million patients globally to live better for longer, launching into new conditions, demographics and geographies.\nBuild something world-changing - We're on the path to becoming the world's largest international digital healthcare company. It will be challenging, fast-paced and deeply rewarding.\nMake real impact - Your work directly shapes patient outcomes and scales evidence-based care across markets.\nAccelerate your growth - High ownership, continuous feedback and dedicated development support.\nJoin a motivated team - Talented peers solving complex clinical and operational problems at scale.\nWhat's ahead in the UK\nBe an owner - Your own stake in the business with our employee options programme\nInvest in your growth - Annual development budget plus 3 days of professional development leave\nWork flexibly - Hybrid setup with 3 days a week in our Old Street office, designed for focus and collaboration\nSupport your well-being - Private health insurance through Vitality, or a monthly wellness allowance to spend on what matters most to you\nTake time off - 25 days of holiday, enhanced parental leave and work from anywhere 3 weeks a year\n Join a connected team - A vibrant office culture with regular socials, clubs, after-school sport and seasonal events\nAt Eucalyptus, we value individuals from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and we embrace the unique qualities each person brings. When you apply, please let us know of any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process. We use AI-assisted tools across our business to help our teams work more efficiently, including within our recruitment process.
