About this role

We are looking for a Technology Manager to lead a newly formed backend team, Acceleration. The position combines technical leadership, people management, and strong cross-team collaboration. You and your team will be part of wider Acceleration at JET, with a mission to improve developer velocity by resolving systemic technical debt and creating new architectural pathways that unlock productivity across the organisation. You will lead a team that works horizontally across Engineering, driving high-impact improvements to architecture, tooling, and platforms.

Reporting to: Senior Technology Manager

These are some of the key components to the position:

• Lead a team of backend engineers, providing technical direction, coaching, and fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.
• Drive initiatives that resolve systemic, cross-cutting technical debt that individual teams cannot address independently.
• Work closely with engineering teams, platform pillars, and stakeholders to identify and prioritise high-impact acceleration opportunities.
• Guide the design and delivery of architectural improvements, shared tooling, and platform capabilities that improve developer velocity.
• Own and evolve the technical roadmap for the team, balancing short-term impact with long-term architectural health.
• Ensure high engineering standards, strong design practices, and operational excellence across all delivered solutions.
• Promote scalable, reusable solutions that unlock productivity across the wider engineering organisation.

What will you bring to the team?

• Proven experience leading and growing high-performing engineering teams.
• Strong background in software engineering with experience in backend and platform development.
• Experience working on complex, large-scale, or legacy systems.
• Ability to work effectively across multiple teams and domains to drive alignment and execution.
• Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to balance technical depth with organisational impact.
• A mindset focused on scalability, automation, and building reusable, self-service solutions.
• Experience addressing cross-cutting technical challenges such as architecture evolution, platform reliability, or developer productivity.
