Engineering Manager

Fanvue is the fastest-growing creator monetisation platform in the creator economy. We are the leading AI-powered creator-first platform, designed to empower creators worldwide to directly monetise their audience. We’re on a mission to redefine the creator economy by empowering creators to connect, share, and earn more efficiently.

🎯 The Role
We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead some of Fanvue’s most business-critical streams across Creator Earnings and Acquisition & Activation, while also championing engineering performance, stability, and delivery velocity.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for someone who can operate as a player-coach. You’ll own outcomes across both external growth metrics and internal engineering excellence, building high-performing teams and mechanisms that scale with the business.

🚀 What You’ll Do

• Own engineering delivery and partner closely with Product to drive Creator Earnings, NRR, Creator Conversion, Activation, and K-Factor

• Lead the engineering roadmap for Creator Earnings, including monetisation features, partner integrations, and platform services

• Build and scale the Acquisition and Activation streams, improving onboarding, reducing time to first earnings, and embedding viral growth loops

• Champion engineering performance and reliability, holding your teams accountable to elite DORA metrics

• Embed a strong P0 post-mortem culture, ensuring incidents lead to real, prioritised improvements

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of senior engineers through high-quality 1:1s, coaching, and clear expectations

• Act as a first point of escalation for incidents, owning reliability under a You Build It, You Run It model

• Conduct hands-on architectural and code reviews, maintaining a high bar for quality and scalability

• Monitor and communicate progress across both business KPIs and engineering metrics, using clear, data-driven narratives

• Proactively manage technical debt to protect long-term velocity

👀 Who You Are

• A senior engineering leader with a deep sense of ownership and accountability

• Comfortable operating as a player-coach, combining people leadership with hands-on technical judgment

• Strong experience building and scaling distributed systems on AWS, using modern, containerised architectures

• Product- and business-minded, able to connect engineering work directly to outcomes like Avg. Earning Per Creator, NRR, and K-Factor

• Experienced working in high-velocity environments where speed and stability are not trade-offs

• Fluent in DevOps and reliability metrics, with a proven track record of improving Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, Change Failure Rate, and MTTR

• A strong communicator with the confidence to challenge priorities, protect quality, and make tough decisions

• Someone who believes deeply in You Build It, You Run It and leads by example

✨ You’ll Thrive Here If

• You enjoy owning outcomes, not just managing teams

• You like operating at the intersection of product growth and engineering excellence

• You care deeply about performance, reliability, and long-term velocity

• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and motivated by impact

⚠️ You’ll Struggle Here If

• You prefer purely people management without technical accountability

• You see reliability as someone else’s problem

• You’re uncomfortable holding high standards under pressure

• Influence both product direction and engineering culture

• Competitive salary aligned with senior engineering management bands

• A culture that values innovation, ownership, transparency, and speed
