Engineering Manager

Hello. We’re Goji.

We provide market-leading platform technology to the alternative investment industry. 

Access to private markets is increasing but 20th century technology cannot support or scale to meet these market demands and opportunities. Trillions of pounds of new inflows from institutional and individual investors are expected in the coming years, and the industry needs to adapt. 

At Goji we are driving the transformation of the industry. From frictionless investor onboarding, to aggregating subscriptions and making any private fund accessible, we are solving the challenges that will unlock growth for all participants in our network. 

Goji was acquired by Euroclear Group in 2022. Our shared vision is to enhance Euroclear's infrastructure with digitised private fund capabilities, creating a global network that seamlessly connects participants and catalyses their growth.

Our clients include asset managers who want to access and onboard more private fund investors, fund administrators who want to offer a private fund service that drives growth, and distributors who want low-friction access to private funds of their choice. 

We are headquartered in the UK and FCA-regulated.

The role

Goji is looking for an Engineering Manager to join and lead one of our squads (4-5 people). Directly reporting into senior management, you will be responsible and accountable for your squads performance and culture.

This role is much more about people and leadership than hands-on coding, so although you’ll bring a strong engineering background, you’ll be comfortable away from the code and focussing your efforts on engineering excellence within your squad, as well as performance against DORA-based metrics. There will be times where you can add value by writing code, but nothing will be dependent on you for delivery.

This role is ideal for someone who either has experience in an engineering management position or is ready to step into a leadership role.

Requirements

What you’ll bring to the role:

• Strong engineering background in a C derivative language (our stack includes a Java/Springboot Back-End and a React/Typescript/NextJS Front-End)
• Experience leading successful and high performing engineering teams is desirable
• Familiarity with Lean/Agile engineering, DevOps and DORA metrics is highly desirable
• Strong understanding of cloud-based application development (we are 100% cloud-based on AWS)
• Experience collaborating with multi-functional teams and stakeholders
• Experience in a regulated, similarly sized scale-up business is highly desirable (50-200 people)
  

How we work

As a company, we like to create an atmosphere where everyone can directly influence the way we work. Our values encourage curiosity, simplicity and honest communication:

• Curiosity - We seek to deeply understand challenges from multiple perspectives
• Innovation - We create pragmatic solutions that solve the challenges identified
• Commitment - We commit with passion to a decision
• Alignment - We understand our objectives and work together with the right tools to get things done
• Discipline - We stay focused, take ownership and consistently deliver against expectations

Benefits

We’re proud to be able to offer a market-leading benefits package:

• Competitive salary
• Opt-in pension with 5% Goji contribution (3% minimum employee contribution)
• 25 days of holiday, plus 1 day for each year of service, up to 30 days
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave
• Private medical, including dental, optical and audiological from Vitality
• Life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection
• Cycle to work scheme
• Laptop delivered to your home
• Allowances for additional work from home equipment
• Supplementary support available for those with additional needs
• Stylish London-based office

This is a remote role, please note we're not able to provide VISA sponsorship, or accommodate remote working outside of the UK currently.
