Software Engineering Manager

Software Engineering Manager - London - Remote/Hybrid - 65k NEG

Are you a Software Engineering Manager or Lead Engineer ready to drive significant change? We are transforming our highly successful desktop ERP into a cutting-edge, self-hosted web solution. This is a fundamental rebuild, designed to significantly improve operational scalability and team efficiency.

What You'll Be Doing

We seek a hands-on leader to guide the development of our new web application using Blazor, ASP.NET Core, and C#. You will primarily provide technical leadership to a small team of seasoned developers as they transition to web development. This role requires a highly technical leader comfortable managing projects without dedicated DevOps or UI/UX specialists, thriving in a high-ownership environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect, design, and implement full-stack functionality: Blazor UI, ASP.NET Core backend, database integration, and deployment.

• Provide technical direction and hands-on development across the platform lifecycle.

• Lead and ensure adherence to team standards for development controls and processes.

• Guide on API and web-dev best practices, setting positive examples for engineers.

• Establish efficient development workflows, testing strategies, and deployment pipelines.

• Ensure the solution is secure, maintainable, performant, and extensible for production readiness.

• Champion software engineering best practices with a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset.

• Help maintain internal system documentation by writing and updating procedures as required throughout the SDLC.

Who You Are:

You are a skilled technical leader, passionate about building robust, scalable web applications. While strong technical leadership is paramount, you also possess the crucial soft skills to influence and be a key decision-maker within a well-established team. You will lead by example through hands-on contribution.

What You'll Bring:

• Proven, recent, hands-on development experience with C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and T-SQL.

• Solid understanding of web application architecture, component-driven UI development, and backend integration.

• Experience deploying self-hosted applications, including configuration, infrastructure, and security considerations.

• Ability to provide architectural clarity and technical mentorship for engineers transitioning from desktop to web development.

• Excellent communication and organisational skills, able to set direction and manage priorities effectively.

• Experience in early-stage product teams or with accounting/enterprise back-office systems is a plus.

• Familiarity with Entity Framework Core, SignalR, or relevant .NET ecosystem tools is preferred.

• Exposure to CI/CD, basic infrastructure setup, and cloud/hybrid deployment models, even without dedicated DevOps support, is beneficial.

• Strong UI sensibility, capable of creating user-friendly interfaces without a dedicated design team, is a bonus.

Why Join Us?

This is a significant opportunity to lead the transformation of a key product into a modern, web-based solution. You will play a central role in shaping architecture, mentoring talent, and delivering a system critical for the business's long-term success.
