About the Role

As an Engineering Manager in our Technology Team, you'll lead a team of 5–6 engineers building and operating the software behind our Direct-to-Consumer brands, RentalCover.com and TravelCover.com. Your team owns the technical foundation of our D2C digital experience, with a clear mandate to accelerate user acquisition, conversion, retention and revenue growth.

You’ll sit at the intersection of technology, product, data and marketing raising engineering standards, building scalable services and integrations, and developing a team that consistently delivers for customers. This is a hands‑on role: alongside managing delivery and cultivating a culture of high ownership, you'll contribute code across our PHP/Laravel and TypeScript/React stack.

You’ll bring strong technical depth, experience designing and operating production systems, and a track record of mentoring engineers and building teams that perform. Close, regular collaboration with Product, Engineering and Marketing stakeholders will be central to hitting roadmap and growth outcomes.

- Partner with Product, Marketing, Infrastructure, and Data & AI teams across timezones to deliver on our vision of building the world's best technology and insights platform for embedded insurance.

- Identify and integrate emerging technologies - including AI tooling - that lift team productivity, quality and velocity while creating competitive advantage.

Skills & Experience

What you will bring:

- Bachelor/Masters degree in Computer Science or Engineering with at least 7 years of software engineering experience and at least 3 years in engineering leadership roles.
