I'm working with an established professional services organisation in Bristol looking to appoint a Web Engineering Manager to lead the development and evolution of a key customer-facing digital platform.
This is a technical leadership role combining approximately 60% team management and technical leadership with 40% hands-on engineering. You'll lead and develop the engineering team while remaining actively involved in architecture, solution design, code reviews and technical problem-solving.
The Role
You'll take ownership of the engineering direction and ongoing development of a complex web platform, including a significant transformation towards a modern, headless and multi-brand architecture.
Working with internal developers, senior stakeholders and external technology partners, your responsibilities will include:
*
Leading, mentoring and developing the engineering team.
*
Defining technical architecture, standards and the engineering roadmap.
*
Remaining hands-on with solution design, code reviews and key technical challenges.
*
Driving development best practice, testing, automation and CI/CD improvements.
*
Supporting the evolution and management of AWS cloud infrastructure.
*
Ensuring platform performance, security, scalability and reliability.
*
Managing external engineering partners and maintaining delivery standards.
About You
We're looking for an experienced engineering professional with a strong software development background who enjoys leading people without losing touch with the technology.
Ideally, you'll have:
*
Experience managing or leading software engineering teams.
*
Strong JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js and React/Next.js knowledge.
*
Experience with APIs, modern web architectures and AWS.
*
A background in architectural design and complex web platforms.
*
Experience with code reviews, engineering standards and CI/CD.
*
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
Experience with headless architecture, multi-brand platforms and AI-assisted development tools would be advantageous.
What's on Offer?
*
£80,000–£95,000 salary.
*
10% annual bonus.
*
Hybrid working – 2 days onsite in Bristol.
*
25 days holiday, plus long-service enhancements and holiday purchase scheme.
*
Generous pension, with employer contributions up to 11%.
*
Healthcare cash plan, wellbeing and gym benefits.
*
Enhanced family leave.
*
ShareSave, life assurance and employee discounts.
