Head of Engineering / Senior Engineering Manager (Go / GCP)
London – 1-2 days per week onsite (potential flexibility for the right person)
We’re working with a growing AI/infrastructure technology business building cutting-edge software used across critical infrastructure environments.
They’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager / Head of Engineering to help manage and scale a small multidisciplinary engineering team whilst remaining heavily involved technically. This is roughly a 50/50 split between hands-on engineering/architecture and people leadership.
The environment is pragmatic and collaborative – they’re not looking for a “superstar” CTO profile, more someone technically solid who can guide a team, make sensible architectural decisions and help drive delivery.
What you’ll be doing
- Leading and mentoring a team of engineers across backend, platform and frontend
- Remaining hands-on with backend engineering (primarily Go)
- Helping shape system architecture and technical direction
- Working closely with Product and leadership on delivery priorities
- Supporting engineering best practices, CI/CD and platform reliability
- Helping scale engineering processes and team structure as the company grows
Tech Environment
- Go
- GCP
- React / TypeScript
- Cloudflare
- Sentry
What they’re looking for
- Strong backend engineering experience with Go
- Good understanding of distributed/backend systems and architecture
- Experience leading or mentoring engineers
- Comfortable operating in a smaller, scaling engineering environment
- Strong communication and stakeholder skills
- GCP and Linux experience
- Computer Vision / AI exposure
The company works on genuinely interesting “tech for good” problems, applying AI and computer vision to improve infrastructure safety and efficiency across large-scale transport environments.
