Engineering Manager (Algorithms Team)

About the role

RoomPriceGenie is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Algorithms team responsible for the core pricing and forecasting engine. You will focus on team leadership, delivery, and product outcomes while maintaining technical credibility through design and code reviews. This role involves driving technical improvements across the department and partnering closely with Product Management to translate business goals into engineering plans.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a high-performing team across the pricing algorithm, forecasting and data pipelines, owning delivery, quality and the operational health of pricing runs.
• Grow your people through regular 1:1s, feedback, performance reviews and career development.
• Hire, onboard and develop engineers to keep the team balanced and strong.
• Partner closely with Product and challenge them: push back on direction, bring your own point of view and drive changes to what the team builds, not just how it builds.
• Translate business goals into clear engineering plans with measurable outcomes and realistic timelines.
• Use data to guide prioritisation.
• Balance delivery velocity with technical sustainability, addressing debt, scalability and reliability as part of delivery rather than after it.
• Provide technical oversight through design and code review, staying close enough to guide architecture and quality and to get hands-on when the team genuinely needs it.
• Act as a buffer between the team and external pressure, keeping focus and healthy team dynamics.
• Improve engineering processes and practices to increase clarity, alignment and predictable delivery.
• Lead technical improvements beyond your own team, at the Product and Engineering department level.
