About the role
Luton | Full-time | Hybrid
Benefits
20% bonus • 7% pension • Staff travel benefits
We support hybrid working, and you’ll spend 60% of your time each month in the office.
You’re an experienced engineering leader who knows that high-performing teams are built through strong people leadership, clear standards and a healthy culture.
You can support multiple teams, develop future leaders and create an environment where engineers can do their best work. If you’re passionate about growing people, improving engineering capability and shaping how technology teams operate at scale, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact across easyJet’s technology organisation.
The opportunity
As Engineering Manager, you’ll lead the engineers within one of easyJet’s Missions. Missions are groups of around five squads aligned to a business area, responsible for building and running the technology that keeps our airline moving. You’ll be accountable for the health, capability and effectiveness of the engineering teams across the Mission.
Working alongside Product teams and Mission Leads, you’ll help teams deliver sustainable outcomes, improve engineering practices and create an environment where people can grow and thrive. While the roadmap and delivery ownership sit with Product and Mission leadership, you’ll own the engineering side of the Mission and provide leadership to Engineering Leads and Senior Engineers across multiple squads.
"The best person for this role will be an exceptional people leader who combines strong engineering judgement with genuine care for team health and development. You’ll create the conditions for engineers and leaders to succeed while helping shape the future of engineering at easyJet." Head of Software Engineering
The team & culture
Engineering at easyJet is organised around Missions and Squads, bringing technology teams closer to the parts of the business they support. You’ll work with Engineering Leads, Senior Engineers, Product teams and Mission leadership to ensure squads remain healthy, effective and focused on delivering value.
It’s a role for someone who enjoys coaching leaders, building strong relationships and driving continuous improvement. You’ll work closely with other Engineering Managers to share best practices, align standards and strengthen engineering culture across the organisation.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll lead, coach and develop Engineering Leads and Senior Engineers across multiple squads, supporting career development, performance and leadership capability.
You’ll create healthy, sustainable teams by establishing effective ways of working, supporting engagement and retention, and helping leaders address challenges before they impact performance.
You’ll remove obstacles, protect team focus and identify delivery risks while partnering with Product teams and Mission leadership to support successful outcomes. You’ll also help raise engineering standards, improve technical practices and ensure teams maintain a high bar for quality across software delivery.
You’ll play an important role in attracting and hiring talented engineers, building succession plans and developing future engineering leaders. Alongside this, you’ll maintain technical credibility across modern software delivery, cloud technologies and engineering operations.
What we’re looking for
You’ll bring experience leading engineers across multiple teams in a modern software engineering environment, ideally with responsibility for Engineering Leads, senior engineers or other people leaders.
You’ll have a strong track record of developing people, creating healthy team cultures and supporting engineers through growth, change and delivery challenges.
You’ll be comfortable partnering with product and business stakeholders, influencing decisions and building trusted relationships across multiple teams.
You’ll also bring:
•
Strong people leadership and coaching experience.
•
Experience supporting agile software delivery across multiple teams.
•
Technical credibility across cloud services, CI/CD and modern engineering practices.
•
Experience recruiting, developing and retaining engineering talent.
•
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
Nice to have
Experience within high-availability, regulated or large-scale environments such as travel, retail or payments would be beneficial, along with familiarity with AWS, Kubernetes and Mission-and-Squad style operating models.
What you’ll get
Competitive base salary + up to 20% bonus
7% employer pension contribution
Private medical insurance
25 days holiday + bank holidays
Annual credit towards an easyJet holiday
Excellent staff travel benefits
Flexible benefits package including share schemes
