Grip is a leading AI-powered event platform designed to amplify business engagement and networking opportunities. The platform facilitates the management of in-person, virtual, and hybrid events by providing tools for event matchmaking, meeting scheduling, lead retrieval, and customized participant experiences.

📋 Description

• Lead, mentor and grow a team of approximately four engineers, including a Principal Engineer and full-stack engineers • Run effective 1:1s, career conversations, and performance reviews using Grip's progression framework • Foster a culture of psychological safety, high standards, and continuous improvement • Own hiring and onboarding for the Manage Squad in partnership with Engineering leadership • Partner closely with the Product Manager and Designer to review upcoming initiatives, assess feasibility, and surface technical risks early • Own the squad's delivery cadence — sprint planning, prioritisation, and release quality • Balance feature delivery with ongoing investment in platform health: tech debt, refactoring, security, and governance • Take ownership of features from start to finish using agile methodologies, delivering with feature flags, tests, and observability • Champion high-quality technical communications: proposals, specs, testing reports, and release planning • Drive AI-first ways of working within the squad — embedding AI tooling into development workflows, code review, testing, and delivery • Drive architectural consistency, code quality, and engineering best practice within the Manage Squad • Work closely with the Head of Platform to align Manage's architecture with the wider platform vision • Identify and lead progressive modernisation of legacy systems — migrating and consolidating without disrupting delivery • Deliver features with security and performance in mind, embedding compliance and governance principles throughout • Collaborate with the VP of Engineering Operations on AWS infrastructure (EKS, ECS, Lambda, CloudFront, S3) as it relates to the Manage domain • Contribute to CI/CD pipeline improvements and progressive delivery practices across squads • Drive reliability monitoring and observability within Manage (Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry) • Contribute to security posture improvements: vulnerability scanning, pen testing coordination, and enforcement of standards • Work closely with the Engineering Director for Engage to align on shared engineering standards, cross-cutting initiatives, and resource decisions • Partner with the Head of Platform on cross-domain architectural decisions that span Manage, Data, and AI systems • Collaborate with the VP of Engineering Operations on delivery excellence, operational compliance, and cost governance • Represent the Manage Squad in engineering leadership forums and contribute to the organisation-wide technical strategy

🎯 Requirements

• Experience leading and growing software engineering teams, ideally in a high-growth B2B SaaS environment • Strong hands-on technical background in the Manage stack or similar: TypeScript, Node.js, React, MongoDB, Postgres, AWS • A track record of delivering complex, production-grade systems with rigour around quality, security, and observability • Experience working closely with Product and Design to shape initiatives before they reach the squad • Comfort influencing architectural decisions across squad boundaries, and working alongside Staff/Principal-level engineers • Genuine excitement about AI-first development — you actively use AI tooling in your own workflow and can credibly lead a team to do the same.

🏖️ Benefits

• Company Training Sponsorship Programme • 25 holiday days per year • Sabbatical Leave • Career Progression Pathways — an opportunity to take the lead in shaping an entire industry through AI • Kind, fun and ambitious company culture • Group Life Insurance and company health plan
