If you’re ready to make an impact and grow with us, we want to hear from you.

As Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for leading one engineering team and ensuring the successful delivery of high-quality products and technical solutions. You will play a key role in aligning engineering execution with Tendium’s business and product strategy.

This is a people-focused leadership role with strong technical ownership. You will coach, support, and develop engineers, while also collaborating closely with Product Management and other stakeholders to plan, prioritise, and deliver development initiatives.

You will contribute to architectural decisions and technical strategy, ensure technical excellence across our systems, and continuously improve team processes, efficiency, and developer experience. You will also be involved in recruitment, onboarding, and retention of engineering talent, and act as a role model for Tendium’s engineering culture and values.

• Lead, coach, and develop an engineering team to foster high performance, engagement, and professional growth

We work in an agile, product-focused environment with teams that have end-to-end ownership of their solutions. Our development teams are cross-functional and self-reliant, covering backend, frontend, infrastructure, and DevOps capabilities.

We value pragmatic decision-making, continuous delivery, and high-quality solutions without over-engineering. We believe great ideas can come from anywhere, whether it’s about what we build or how we work, and you will have real influence over both.
