About the Role

We are seeking a Software Engineering Manager who will provide technical expertise, ship thoughtfully and operate with excellence to build the foundational platform for Identity across all M and S products.

  3. Agile Delivery & Collaboration: Working closely with product, design, and programme management, you will lead the engineering delivery aligning to the business objectives. Collaboration will be key as you engage with senior leadership, cross-functional teams, and external partners to drive strategy and execution.
  4. Technical Leadership: You will provide technical direction on high-impact projects, tackling engineering challenges within the team. Engage in code reviews, ensuring high standards, maintainability, and alignment with best practices.

Lead on documentation efforts and internal tech talks, sharing knowledge and best practices to strengthen the technical community.
