Job description

Business Manager UK and Europe DevOps and Infrastructure at Uniting Cloud

Development Manager / Software Engineering Manager

Northwest (Hybrid)

We’re scaling fast - and we need a tech leader who can keep us ahead of the curve. Our software department is growing to 50+ engineers across multiple squads, and we’re looking for someone who’s not just about management, but about vision, impact, and engineering excellence.

What You’ll Do

  • Set the direction: Define the technical roadmap, shape architecture decisions, and keep us future-ready.
  • Raise the bar: Champion clean code, robust engineering practices, and a culture of quality.
  • Build & scale teams: You’ve grown engineering squads before and know how to create an environment where people thrive.
  • Deliver at pace: You’ll make sure we ship fast without compromising standards.

Who You Are

  • A proven engineering leader with a strong software background.
  • Someone who’s scaled teams, driven delivery, and knows what “great” looks like.
  • Equally comfortable in the code review as in the strategy room.
  • Excited by growth, change, and building products that make a difference.

Why Join Us

  • Lead a department where your technical decisions shape the product and the business.
  • Hybrid working - flexibility to work from home and our North-West hub.
  • A culture that values innovation, autonomy, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
  • The chance to grow with us as we scale to the next level.
