This Deep Tech scale up is using AI to transform how things get made in the physical world. They are solving genuinely hard problems where computer science meets engineering physics, with real constraints and tangible outcomes. The technology is deployed in production environments globally, making a measurable difference to how people work.

As the successful Software Engineering Manager you will bring clarity, energy, and direction to a high-performing engineering group. Someone who blends technical depth with exceptional leadership, and who cares as much about people as they do about elegant architecture and delivery excellence.

What you'll do:

- Lead a team of smart engineers (around 10) building production software that industrial customers depend on daily.

- You'll shape technical strategy, drive delivery, and build a culture where hard problems get solved elegantly.

- Oversee architecture, mentor talented Software Engineers who love a challenge, and work closely with product to turn complex customer needs into elegant technical solutions. You’ll also have knowledge of Agile, OKRs, DevOps and CI/CD.

You should apply if:

- You've led software engineering teams before and know how to get the best out of talented people.

- You can talk architecture and algorithms, but you also understand delivery, stakeholder management and building engineers' careers.

- You have a previous hands on software engineering background

- You've worked in Engineering, CAD, Robotics, AI or Deep Tech industries in a prior role.

- Bonus points if you've worked with industrial tech, cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure), DevOps, simulation engineering, have a Maths / Physics background or worked with C++ in the past.

What’s in it for you:

Salary up to £120k, stock options, annual performance equity, top-tier medical coverage, life insurance, sabbaticals, lots of growth potential and hybrid working in the London office.

This technology is deployed globally, making a measurable difference to how people work and 2026 is going to be a huge year with the company doubling in size.
