Senior Engineering Manager

Remote UK

Neulinx have partnered with a growing AI-powered B2B SaaS business looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a small, experienced squad of around 6 Software Engineers.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the people side of engineering leadership but doesn’t want to move away from the technology.

You’ll work closely with Product and Design, own delivery across the squad and remain involved in architecture, system design and technical decision-making. You’ll also play an important role in how the wider engineering function adopts AI-first development, from AI-assisted coding and testing through to LLM-powered products and agentic systems.

What you’ll be doing:

Lead, mentor and develop a team of around 6 engineers
Own sprint planning, prioritisation, delivery and release quality
Partner with Product & Design to shape new initiatives and identify technical risks early
Remain hands-on with architecture, system design and complex technical challenges
Balance new product development with tech debt, refactoring, security and platform health
Help modernise legacy systems while maintaining reliable production delivery
Drive AI-first engineering practices across development, code review, testing and delivery
Collaborate with senior engineering leaders across Platform, Data, AI and Infrastructure
Improve reliability and observability across production systems

Technical environment:

The wider platform is increasingly AI-driven, so experience or a strong understanding of LLMs, GenAI, AI agents, agentic workflows, MCP and AI-assisted software development would be highly relevant.

We’re looking for someone with:

Strong Engineering Manager experience, ideally within B2B SaaS
A genuinely hands-on software engineering background
Experience delivering complex, production-grade systems
Strong TypeScript/Node.js/React and cloud experience
Confidence influencing architecture beyond your immediate team
Strong Product and Design collaboration
Experience leading engineers while maintaining technical credibility
Genuine enthusiasm for using AI to change how software is built

Package & benefits:

£120k–£150k
Remote-first across the UK, with a London Bridge office available
25 days’ holiday
Sabbatical leave
Company health plan & life insurance
Training sponsorship programme
Clear career progression pathways and quarterly development reviews

This is a strong opportunity for an Engineering Manager who wants to stay close to the technology, lead a talented team and help shape how an ambitious SaaS business builds software in an AI-first world.
