Software Development Manager

So, you’ve got a technical background but love managing people?

As a Development Manager at Cambridge Intelligence, you’ll manage and develop a growing team of talented developers and enjoy driving the development process.

What’s involved?

You’ll actively manage developers, testers and Tech Authors - ensuring that the team is fully utilized and direct reports have goals in place that maximise their professional development. You’ll enjoy owning and driving the development process for your team, providing guidance on a team and individual level. You’ll support the development team by facilitating, enabling and unblocking, driving continuous improvement.  

Who’s the ideal candidate?

You’ll have a proactive management style, driving enthusiasm within the team and identify potential problems before they arise. You’ll have experience of managing at least one Agile software development team, and possess a balance of technical competence and excellent people management skills.

You might also have:

• Technical competence - a deep understanding of the code and architecture is not required, but a high level appreciation will be necessary in order to recognise dependencies and blocking factors. Our tech stack is TypeScript, JavaScript and React 
• Strong communications skills - facilitate and coordinate shared vision and feedback between the development and production teams. 
• Led and supported continued career development and provided guidance on professional development plans. 

• Experience of working with data visualization or analysis

Who you’ll work with

We have four development teams, each made up of JavaScript developers, working alongside technical writers, test engineers and a development manager. You’ll also work closely with a DevOps/Platform team, and product managers who’ll help you stay on track.

Opportunities to grow

Everyone here gets funded professional development time, with up to five days allocated to learning new skills – whether that’s at conferences, training programs or courses.

Be yourself

We want to build a fair, respectful and welcoming company, where everyone feels at home. That means taking a long-term approach to equality, diversity and inclusion – not treating it as a tickbox exercise.

With the help of our EDI group, we’re working to make every aspect of the business – including recruitment – fair, respectful and inclusive.
