Software Engineering Manager – Reminders | 📍London or Manchester – Hybrid (1–2 days per week in the office) | 💰Competitive Salary + Benefits

About the Role

We’re looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead our Reminders engineering team at Moonpig. This is a hands-on, hybrid role based in London or Manchester, with 1–2 days per week in the office. The team’s regular office day is Thursday.

Reminders is an important part of how we help customers remember the people and occasions that matter. We’re evolving from an occasion-centric experience towards one that puts the recipient at the centre, bringing together customer data, personalisation and thoughtful UX to help us make more relevant card and gift recommendations.

You’ll lead a small team, working closely with Product and Design to shape what comes next. This isn’t a role where Engineering simply receives a roadmap and delivers it. You’ll help create an environment where engineers contribute to discovery, challenge ideas constructively and influence both what we build and how we build it.

It’s a role for someone who enjoys moving between technical conversations, coaching people and shaping product direction.

Our expectations of our Engineering Managers:

• Building culture: “Culture eats process for breakfast” and we wholeheartedly believe this. As an Engineering Manager you are responsible for fostering a growth culture and contributing to our management best practices. You help us become an exceptional place to work for the ambitious, highly motivated people we hire. Your team of engineers are responsible for various services and you advocate the mantra “You build it, you run it”. At the end of the day, you have a massive influence on our overall engineering quality and culture and you actively work to continuously improve this.
