With deep sector knowledge gained over 30 years, we are trusted by transport authorities, bus operators and rail operators worldwide.

Our software spans planning and scheduling, control room and incident management, safety and compliance, customer information and commercial analytics for bus and rail operators and transport authorities, along with Asset Management.

Role Purpose

As Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of software engineers as a dedicated people and delivery leader. Your impact is measured through the performance, growth and output of your team. You will keep enough technical depth to guide architectural decisions, hold the team to a high standard and ask the right questions to enable the engineering team to achieve outstanding results.

You will help the team work efficiently, collaborating with product and project teams aligning your team workload to delivery timescales and escalating issues to the Chief Technology Officer as needed. You will also support the embedding of AI-assisted development tools into daily practice.

Key Responsibilities

  • Guide the technical direction and architecture for your area, ensuring key design decisions and trade-offs are made by the right people, well-reasoned and properly documented.
  • Line-manage a team of c.7 software engineers: regular 1:1s, objective setting, performance reviews, and identifying and addressing performance challenges, providing further support where required.
  • Define and uphold coding standards, patterns and best practice across the team, reviewing code to ensure delivery of reliable, secure and maintainable software.
  • Act as the escalation point for production and technical incidents affecting your area, driving root-cause analysis and follow-up improvements.
  • Represent engineering in cross-functional planning, translating product and business priorities into a realistic technical roadmap for the team.
  • Own the quality and currency of the team's technical documentation, wikis and release notes across all stages of the Software Development Lifecycle.
  • Establish and sustain a culture of code and architecture review, continuous learning and knowledge sharing across the team.
  • Developing the understanding and use of AI within the engineering team.
  • Support colleagues in other teams, ensuring that our software meets the required standards for privacy, security, compliance and regulation.
  • Act as the first point of escalation for the team, coaching and mentoring junior and mid-level developers and supporting their career development.
  • Plan and allocate team workload against delivery timescales.
  • Shape team ethos and ways of working, embedding consistent engineering practices across the team.
  • Undertake any additional duties as reasonably required.

Requirements

Skills, Knowledge & Experience

  • Proven experience managing or leading a team of developers, including 1:1s and objective setting.
  • Extensive full-stack development skills: front-end (JS Frameworks) and back-end (dotnet).
  • Experience working with an AI augmented environment.
  • Experience delivering low-latency, API-driven web services and responsive, cross-browser web applications.
  • Able to communicate clearly, both verbal and written, with technical and non-technical audiences, presenting proposals and solutions, and to take end-to-end ownership of technical work.
  • Comfortable giving and receiving constructive feedback.

Benefits

  • Private health care
  • Life assurance
  • Income protection scheme
  • Company pension scheme
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • 3 days paid leave for Christmas period shut-down
  • 1 day's paid leave to celebrate birthday

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.
