Job Description

Build technology people can trust.

At AJ Bell, we believe investing should feel good.

For our customers, that means feeling confident that their money is in safe hands and that the products and services they rely on are secure, reliable and easy to use.

Behind that experience is great technology, and great people.

We’re looking for an Integration Engineering Manager to lead our Integration Engineering team and help us build the capabilities that make that experience possible.

Our Integration Engineering team creates strategic capabilities that enable software engineering teams across AJ Bell to deliver reliable, scalable and observable solutions. The team has already established our ETL data streaming platform and is now taking on a new capability to evolve some of our most critical business processes.

This is an opportunity to lead an established, skilled and highly collaborative team, while having a genuine influence on how engineering is done across AJ Bell.

You’ll be responsible for creating the environment in which engineers can do their best work; increasing team performance and delivery pace, developing technical leaders and building greater technical depth. At the same time, you’ll remain close to the technology, contributing to technical discussions, supporting architectural decisions and helping shape the future of our engineering capabilities.

It’s a role for someone who enjoys people leadership and technology in equal measure and who wants to make a lasting difference beyond their immediate team.

What does the job involve?

  • Leading and owning a strategic engineering capability that influences how engineering is done across AJ Bell.
  • Building a culture of continuous improvement and high performance.
  • Driving adoption and evolution of the ETL Streaming platform.
  • Establishing a new capability to evolve critical business processes.
  • Encouraging innovation and constant collaboration.
  • Promoting AI-assisted software engineering to increase pace and quality.
  • Working with diverse software engineering and technology teams.
  • Balancing product, operational, regulatory and strategic priorities.

Leadership skills

  • Experience leading software engineering teams.
  • Strong coaching and mentoring skills.
  • Proven ability to develop engineers into technical leaders.
  • Experience building high-performing cultures.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • The right balance of management and technology focus.

Technical skills

You’ll have a deep background in software engineering, together with:

  • Experience in software and system integration
  • Strong understanding of event-driven architecture.
  • Experience in operating critical production services.
  • Knowledge of cloud-native architecture.
  • Confident in technical design and discussion.
  • Experience owning and evolving engineering platforms used by multiple development teams.

Desirable skills

  • AWS serverless technologies.
  • Event streaming and messaging technologies.
  • Enterprise integration patterns.
  • Platform engineering.
  • Modernisation programmes.
  • Financial services industry experience.
  • Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot.

You don’t need to have every one of these skills. What matters most is your engineering leadership experience, your technical depth and your ability to bring people with you.

About AJ Bell

Our technology needs to work hard behind the scenes to make investing feel simple, reliable and secure. From the platforms our customers interact with to the critical systems and processes that support our business, we're continually looking for better ways to use technology to deliver a great experience.

As an Integration Engineering Manager at AJ Bell, you’ll have the opportunity to influence that experience, not just through the technology you help build, but through the people and engineering culture you develop.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
