  • Ensuring delivery momentum on features like Ephemeral Environments, Feature Toggles, and new Progressive Deployment strategies.

What we’re looking for

A leader who balances delivery accountability with people growth , ensuring teams ship reliably and deliver impact.

  • Proven experience leading engineering teams in a product-led environment.
  • Skilled at managing in a remote-first setting , with empathy for distributed work.
  • Strong technical grounding in software engineering, with the depth to coach effectively.
  • A people-first manager who builds a culture of belonging, inclusion, and fairness.
  • Able to spot dysfunction early and address it quickly, building sustainable, high-performing teams.
  • Confident leading through organisational change , keeping people engaged and focused.
  • Why you'll love this role

  • Work on a strategically important product area , helping application teams deliver faster, safer, and with greater visibility.
  • See your impact measured across delivery, people growth, and product innovation .
  • As a scale-up, you’ll have opportunities to influence beyond your team — shaping initiatives across R&D and the company.
  • Enjoy Octopus’s remote-first culture , generous benefits, stock options, and transparent pay structures.
