A passion for developing people, building trust, and creating teams that thrive under pace.

What’s On Offer

Real ownership and influence — your decisions will shape products used at scale. A collaborative, ego-free engineering culture that values ideas over titles. Competitive salary, strong benefits, and clear progression into senior leadership. Hybrid working with 2 days per week in a modern Manchester HQ.
