Engineering Manager (Integrations)

How you'll be contributing to Accurx as an Engineering Manager (Integrations Team)...

Engineering Managers at Accurx are technologists who love helping teams solve customer problems. As EM of our Integrations team, you’ll lead the group responsible for delivering Accurx’s integrations with NHS third-party suppliers’ APIs and applications. Your work will ensure our products connect seamlessly, supporting effective and meaningful communication between healthcare professionals and patients.

Collaborating with senior stakeholders across Engineering, Security, Data, and commercial teams, you’ll deeply understand how the Integrations team adds value to Accurx. Balancing priorities between building great products and upholding the best engineering practices will be a key part of your role.

Working closely with your team, you’ll outline a strong vision for the roadmap of the Integrations team.

You’ll guide and influence the “Why” (our outcomes) and the “What” (the team’s roadmap), ensuring your engineers have clarity and direction.

You’ll also line manage engineers, supporting their growth and development while ensuring the team thrives.

Your day to day tasks, should you choose to accept this mission 🤝...

• Develop a strong understanding of the systems your team owns and the broader technical estate.
• Shape the team’s vision, goals, and priorities, collaborating with Engineering, Security, and Data teams.
• Set the strategic direction, leveraging both your expertise and your team’s knowledge to ensure successful delivery.
• Represent the team’s decisions to non-technical stakeholders, explaining trade-offs and priorities in an accessible way.
• Identify and remove obstacles to ensure commitments are met, while communicating risks and mitigation strategies.
• Use data to monitor delivery flow and drive continuous improvement.
• Promote engineering excellence, ensuring strong telemetry, documentation, patching, and proactive infrastructure management.
• Balance quality, tech debt, and roadmap delivery, making sure the team operates effectively and sustainably.
• Support incident management, helping maintain system reliability and ensuring engineers are confident in handling service health.
• Line manage and mentor engineers, supporting their career development, providing feedback, and fostering high performance.
