## Description

As part of the M&S Software Engineering team, you'll be joining a well-loved historic brand, working on products and platforms that support millions of customers and thousands of colleagues.

We're looking for a Software Engineering Manager who combines strong technical judgement with a passion for building high-performing teams.

In this role, you'll lead empowered, multidisciplinary engineers to design, build, release and run robust software solutions, working closely with Product and Delivery teams to solve meaningful customer and business problems.

This role sits within the International Pricing domain team, supporting M&S's International business across stores and online markets outside the UK and Ireland.

Your key accountabilities will include:

- Build, mentor and lead a high-performing software engineering team, fostering a culture of collaboration, inclusion, innovation and continuous improvement while balancing people, priorities and delivery outcomes.

- Oversee the planning, execution and delivery of software initiatives, ensuring alignment with business goals, customer outcomes and strategic priorities while proactively managing risks and dependencies.

- Drive engineering excellence through the adoption of modern engineering practices, technical standards, cloud-first approaches and robust build pipelines that support maintainability, extensibility and scalability.

- Ensure operational stability, resilience, security, performance and reliability across team-owned solutions while supporting continuous improvement and progress towards Elite DORA standards.

- Partner closely with Product, Delivery, Design and Architecture teams to shape technical roadmaps, solve complex business problems and maximise the value delivered through shared platforms and modern technology solutions.

Your skills and experience will include:

- A strong software engineering background, with experience across modern architectures, cloud platforms and scalable backend systems.

- A proven track record of building, leading and developing high-performing engineering teams, creating an inclusive environment where people can thrive and grow.

- Strong technical judgement across system design, software architecture and modern engineering practices, with a focus on quality, testing, reliability and operational excellence.

- Excellent leadership, communication, analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and lead engineers and technical partners towards clear outcomes without over-prescribing solutions.

- A DevOps mindset with a strong belief in "you build it, you run it", coupled with a servant leadership approach, strong ownership and the ability to navigate complex technical and organisational challenges.

The team uses a range of modern technologies, including:

- Java, Spring, Spring Boot and Micronaut

- React, Next.js, TypeScript and Angular

- Azure Cloud and Kubernetes

- Kafka and IBM MQ

- SQL Server, MongoDB and Redis

- OpenTelemetry and Dynatrace

Benefits include:

- 20% colleague discount on all M&S products and many third-party brands for you and someone in your household, available once you've completed your probation.

- Competitive holiday allowance with the option to buy more.

- Discretionary bonus schemes linked to your performance and ours.

- Strong pension and life assurance to help plan for the future.

- Tailored induction and training to support your development from day one.

- Exclusive perks and savings through our M&S Choices portal.
