Hybrid – London (3 days per week in an amazing office space)

I'm working with one of Europe's most exciting AI-native technology businesses to hire an Engineering Manager into a highly visible AI Platform team. This is an opportunity to lead the engineering team responsible for the AI capabilities that power products used by millions of people globally.

You'll lead a team of senior engineers working at the intersection of software engineering, machine learning and product, building the platform that enables AI-powered personalisation, prediction and intelligent user experiences across the business.

The Business

High-growth, product-led technology company with AI at the heart of its strategy

AI capabilities already deployed at scale, with significant investment in the next generation of AI products

Collaborative engineering culture with strong technical leadership and close partnership across Product, Data and Executive Leadership

Working alongside leading AI partners including OpenAI, Anthropic and Google

The Role

Lead and develop a team of seven experienced engineers, including several Principal Engineers

Drive delivery across a business-critical AI Platform that supports teams across the organisation

Shape technical direction through architecture and system design rather than day-to-day coding

Balance product priorities with engineering excellence, ensuring AI capabilities deliver measurable business outcomes

Partner closely with Product and senior leadership to translate strategy into execution

Build scalable AI infrastructure that enables new AI-powered products and features

Manage strategic relationships with external AI partners and technology providers

80% leadership/strategy, 20% technical through system design

What They’re Looking For

Previous experience leading high-performing engineering teams in a product environment

Strong technical credibility with experience contributing to architecture and system design

Commercial experience delivering AI or machine learning products into production

Broad engineering, data science or ML background with the ability to operate across software engineering and AI/ML in production.

Excellent stakeholder management skills with experience working closely with Product and Executive teams

Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve quickly

Experience with LLMs is beneficial, but strong engineering fundamentals and AI production experience are more important

This is a fantastic opportunity for an Engineering Manager who enjoys leading senior technical teams, influencing product strategy and building AI platforms that have a direct impact on millions of users.
