SR2 is recruiting a Software Engineering Leader to join a business undergoing significant technology transformation. This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of a major greenfield engineering programme, leading multiple engineering teams and helping embed modern engineering practices.

We're looking for someone with a strong software engineering background who is already operating as an Engineering Manager and is ready to take the next step into a broader leadership role. This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a role with greater responsibility, with the support and time to grow into it. You'll be gradually given more ownership and accountability, rather than expected to hit the ground running from day one.

The Role:

  • Lead two engineering teams, providing technical direction, coaching and people leadership.
  • Take ownership of engineering delivery across a high-profile greenfield programme.
  • Drive modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, DevOps and cloud-native development.
  • Shape technical roadmaps, influence architectural decisions and champion engineering quality.
  • Work closely with senior stakeholders to manage technical risks, priorities and delivery.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience as an Engineering Manager/Lead
  • Technical expertise/background in C#/.NET
  • Strong understanding of modern software architecture, APIs, microservices and integration.
  • Experience driving engineering best practices, automation and continuous improvement.
  • Strong people leadership skills, with the ambition to step into a larger leadership role.

Package:

  • £80,000-£90,000
  • Bonus scheme
  • Generous matched pension contributions
  • 35 days holiday
  • + additional benefits

If you're an Engineering Manager looking to take the next step in your career and lead a major technology transformation, we'd love to hear from you.

Please apply with a copy of your CV and Emma from SR2 will contact potential applicants regarding next steps.
