We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead engineering within our Customer Growth pillar, on the Value and Growth side of the business. You'll oversee an organisation comprising Engineering Managers and multiple fullstack squads, spanning web, backend and mobile, our current focus is across railcards growth, railcards retention and adoption, subscriptions, and customer value exchange, which shapes how we structure and present our offering to customers.

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.
