London, Greater London, United Kingdom Few&Far Full time £960,000 per year

(Remote) Platform Engineering Manager - ScaleUp - up to £120k (base)

"
The best leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders."

This role is the embodiment of that principle. It's not about maintaining the status quo; it's about building the platform—and the people—that will power the next chapter of growth for a established business thinking like a startup.

Few&Far
are partnering with a
Sunday Times 'Best Place to Work'
that is entering a pivotal
scale-up phase
. They have the solid foundation and customer base of a corporate, but operate with the agility, ambition, and
startup mindset
of a much younger company. They need a leader to architect their technical future.

Here's what's cool about them:

  • The Culture:
    A recognised 'Best Place to Work' with a remote-first, UK-based team. They are problem-solvers, not ticket-takers.
  • The Scale & Impact:
    You won't just be keeping the lights on. You'll be
    developing the data platform strategy from the ground up
    and taking ownership of critical infrastructure that serves thousands of practices.
  • The Tech:
    They're leveraging the latest tech, including
    AI and LLMs
    , to solve real-world problems and change the face of an entire industry.

Here's what you'll be doing:

  • Manage and mentor approximately
    10 engineers
    across two key teams
  • Take ownership of the platform engineering roadmap, with a sharp focus on
    infrastructure management, cost optimisation, and reliability
    .
  • Partner closely with the Head of Data to define and build the long-term
    data platform strategy
    .
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment, expertly juggling a
    high volume of parallel requests and initiatives
    to keep pace with business ambition.

Here's what they are looking for:

  • A proven Engineering Manager
    experience
    in a growth-stage or mature SaaS company.
  • A solid background in
    DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering
    is ideal. A Product Engineering Manager with a strong infrastructure affinity will also be considered.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (
    AWS is a plus
    ).
  • A leader who has thrived in a
    transition-phase company
    —you know how to build and scale systems and teams, not just maintain them.
