About the role

  • Senior Engineering Manager overseeing multiple product teams at Unmind. Driving high-performance culture and technical direction in AI-powered product development.

Responsibilities

  • Manage and develop Engineers across two product teams, fostering high performance, engagement, and sustainable delivery
  • Elevate Engineer’s performance and unlock their potential by creating the conditions, support and accountability for engineers to develop, and being willing to make tough calls where progress isn't happening
  • Support delivery momentum by helping teams identify lean approaches, spot risks early, stay focused on outcomes, and work through ambiguity
  • Collaborate with Staff Engineers to influence technical direction, improve decision-making, and support scalable systems
  • Play an active role in the Tech Leadership group, strengthening our Engineering culture, improving how Engineering operates and how we show up as leaders
  • Shape engineering practices by improving team collaboration, delivery, and engineering productivity across Product Development, including how we leverage AI tools and automation to work more effectively
  • Gain exposure to AI-powered products, working with teams building innovative user-facing solutions in a fast-evolving space

Requirements

  • Proven experience managing Engineers in product-focused teams, across more than one team or domain.
  • Experience building B2B products, with an appreciation for the complexities of serving organisational customers and balancing the needs of different stakeholders.
  • Proven record of driving a high-performance culture, setting clear expectations, holding people accountable, and making difficult decisions consciously, but swiftly. You default to kindness and clarity, not avoidance.
  • Strong track record of partnering with Product Managers, including the ability to challenge decisions and shape delivery approaches, balancing tech and product priorities.
  • Technically credible - able to support Engineers across all levels, contribute to architectural thinking, and ask the right questions to ensure sound decisions. (Our stack includes React, TypeScript, NodeJS and GraphQL - while direct experience isn’t required as this is a hands-off role, familiarity is a plus).
  • Able to operate with sound judgement and independence - ruthlessly prioritising your workload, making good calls with imperfect information, keeping teams steady through shifting priorities, and knowing when to involve others
  • Comfortable in fast-changing environments, with the ability to balance competing priorities and provide clarity amid ambiguity.
  • Experience influencing cross-functional stakeholders and contributing to shared ownership of outcomes.
