Engineering Manager

Location: Edinburgh (Hybrid Working)
Contract: Full-Time, Permanent
Hours: 8:30am – 5:00pm, Monday to Friday (Flexible working applications welcomed)

Key Requirements

Strong software engineering background, ideally with PHP (Laravel/Symfony), MySQL and SaaS/web application development
Experience leading, mentoring or managing engineers, whether as an Engineering Manager, Tech Lead or Senior Engineer
Ability to coach and develop engineers while maintaining technical credibility
Strong understanding of software delivery, quality, testing, maintainability and release risk
Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Passion for improving engineering processes without introducing unnecessary complexity
Genuine interest in applying AI within engineering workflows and product development

About Us

We are a passionate, innovative and fast-growing software company that develops award-winning property technology solutions.

Our cloud-based platform, SME Professional, is trusted by letting and estate agents across the UK. We also build websites and digital solutions for the property, finance and legal sectors. With a team of nearly 50 people, we're committed to delivering exceptional products and outstanding customer service.

We value curiosity, innovation and continuous improvement. Our modern office beside Leith Links offers flexible working spaces, regular social events and a supportive, collaborative culture.

The Role

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow our engineering team behind our SaaS platform.

Reporting to the Technical Director, you'll lead a team of eight engineers with a focus on people leadership, delivery and engineering excellence. While this is primarily a leadership role, you'll remain technically credible and comfortable discussing architecture, reviewing approaches and coaching engineers on best practices.

Our established platform is built on PHP (Silex/Symfony/Laravel) and MySQL, and we're continuing to enhance functionality, modernise our technology stack and embed AI into both our product and engineering practices.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys developing people, improving team performance and helping build great software that customers rely on every day.

What You'll Be Doing

Lead and Develop Engineers

Line manage, coach and mentor a team of engineers
Conduct regular one-to-ones, development discussions and performance reviews
Foster a culture of accountability, growth and continuous learning
Support engineers in building confidence, capability and ownership

Keep Delivery Healthy

Help squads deliver work predictably and sustainably
Support planning, prioritisation, capacity management and risk mitigation
Identify blockers early and facilitate effective solutions
Ensure delivery plans and trade-offs remain visible and realistic

Raise Engineering Standards

Partner with Tech Leads and senior engineers to improve development practices
Promote code quality, maintainability, consistency and effective code reviews
Coach engineers on sound engineering principles and best practices

Collaborate Across Teams

Work closely with Product Managers, QA and leadership teams
Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Support cross-functional delivery across Product, Engineering and QA squads

Drive Continuous Improvement

Identify and remove friction that slows teams down
Improve processes and ways of working without adding unnecessary bureaucracy
Build practical habits that improve delivery and quality over time

What We're Looking For

Strong software engineering background, ideally in PHP, Laravel, MySQL and SaaS platforms
Previous experience leading, mentoring or managing engineers
Technical credibility and sound engineering judgement
Strong understanding of software delivery, testing and quality practices
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
Ability to improve team effectiveness and delivery processes
Interest in leveraging AI to improve engineering workflows and product capabilities

Working With AI

AI is an increasingly important part of both our products and our day-to-day engineering practices. You don't need to be an AI specialist, but you should be enthusiastic about applying AI practically to help teams work smarter and build innovative features for customers.

What We Offer

Annual salary reviews
Hybrid working environment
Flexible working opportunities
Summer 4-day working week during August
Paid overtime or flexi-time in lieu
Company pension scheme
Enhanced family leave after one year of service
Company sick pay
Cycle-to-work scheme
