SOFTWARE ENGINEERING MANAGER | LONDON — HYBRID | UP TO £120,000 BASIC

GREENFIELD AZURE DATA PLATFORM BUILD

Keep reading if you want a clear path into Head of Engineering. Yes the path has been paved for you.

You can join a fast-growing, tech‑led media and events business as their next Engineering Manager. They’re building out a brand‑new data platform Azure, Databricks, but this role is heavily focused on the software engineering and integration side of things. The journey starts by owning complex API layers and mentoring growing engineers, while you grow into the responsibilities of a Head of Engineering.

I learnt something new today. The events world relies entirely on third‑party connectivity, and you’ll own the API layers to enable Azure Data Platform.

WHY THIS ROLE

You get to stay close to the tech, leading code reviews and driving software standards. True mentorship focus—they have bright junior devs ready to learn from you. It’s a massive integration and connectivity challenge, not just standard data work. Your responsibilities will grow into that of a Head of Engineering.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Design and scale robust API layers.
  • Manage complex integrations with external third‑party event platforms.
  • Support, coach, and upskill a growing team of developers.
  • Help your team with code reviews and debugging.
  • Bridge the gap between core software delivery and the new Azure data platform.
  • Help bring Agile delivery and scalability.

WHAT YOU NEED

  • A solid software engineering background.
  • API design and heavy integration experience.
  • Azure cloud experience.
  • People management or solid mentoring experience.
  • Deep Databricks experience is a big bonus.

There’s no time to waste, the client is moving fast to scale this team.
