Our client is an innovative logistics technology scale-up headquartered in London, building modern software to solve complex supply chain, fulfilment, and last-mile delivery problems. Their platform is used by major retailers, warehouses, and logistics providers to manage operations smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

With continued growth and fresh funding, they’re hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead one of their cross-functional delivery squads. This is a leadership role where you’ll help shape technical direction, drive engineering excellence, and mentor a growing team—all while working on technology that directly impacts real-world movement of goods.

This is a full-time hybrid role, with just 1 day a fortnight on-site in their London HQ.

• Helping define architecture and contributing to scaling efforts
• Improving engineering processes and fostering a healthy, high-performing culture
• Supporting hiring and onboarding as the team grows

• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager or Tech Lead with people responsibilities
• Strong background in backend development (ideally in .NET Core)
• Experience building systems with real-time performance, scalability, and reliability
• Comfortable working in Agile, cross-functional environments
• Hands-on experience with cloud services (Azure preferred), CI/CD, and microservices
• Excellent communication skills and ability to align engineering with product goals
• London-based or able to attend on-site 1x per fortnight

Nice to Have

• Experience in logistics, warehousing, supply chain, or real-time operations platforms
• Familiarity with routing, scheduling, or order tracking systems
• Knowledge of distributed systems, message queues, or event-driven architecture
• Exposure to data-heavy or IoT-connected environments

What’s on Offer

• Salary: Up to £130,000
• Meaningful equity package
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Leadership ownership in a mission-critical domain
