The Role
As Engineering Manager at Flawless, you’ll be hands-on with both people and product — managing a group of engineers while also driving technical excellence and delivery across one or more product areas.
You’ll help us scale effectively, ensuring our teams stay fast, focused, and high-quality as we grow. Along the way, you’ll play a key role in building the engineering culture and org we want to be known for: high-performing, Product focussed, fast-moving, and deeply rooted in craftsmanship.

Partner closely with product, design, and research to drive roadmaps and ensure tight alignment across functions
Help unblock the team, identify bottlenecks, and make pragmatic tradeoffs to keep projects on track
Technical Guidance & Process
Maintain a strong technical pulse — contributing to architecture discussions, reviewing designs, and helping the team make sound decisions
Support engineers in growing their technical expertise and ownership
Identify opportunities to improve team velocity, workflows, and ways of working — without introducing unnecessary process
Culture & Collaboration
Champion a culture of curiosity, creativity, and continuous learning
Help build a shared sense of purpose within the team and across engineering
Be a voice in shaping the wider engineering culture and practices as we scale
Who You Are
You have 2+ years experience managing engineers and 5+ years in software development, ideally in high-growth, product-focused companies
You’ve led teams through ambiguity, growth, and fast-paced delivery cycles

You care deeply about the craft of engineering and building products that delight users
You create inclusive, supportive team environments where people do their best work
You understand that velocity and quality go hand in hand — and know how to coach teams to achieve both
