Role

Who you are

We are looking for a passionate and versatile Engineering Manager to lead a cross-functional team
This is a role for a leader who can thrive with open-ended challenges
You may come from any technical background—backend, infrastructure, data, ML, or full-stack—but you share a deep passion for building high-quality systems and steering teams toward impactful results
You’ll bring strong technical insight, exceptional people leadership, and a product-focused mindset to help your team succeed in our fast-moving, API-first environment
Experience: 7+ years of professional experience in software or data engineering, including at least 2 years in an engineering leadership role. You have a proven ability to lead technical teams and deliver projects in production environments
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field
Technical Background: Strong background in one or more areas, such as scalable backend systems (Go, Python, Rust, etc.), cloud infrastructure and DevOps (GCP, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, etc.), machine learning or data platforms (Airflow, Spark, ML models in production), or frontend and product engineering (React, TypeScript, design systems)
Communication: Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
Ownership: A strong sense of ownership and a track record of building systems that scale and evolve over time

What the job involves

You will be at the heart of our core technology, guiding a team focused on areas like backend services, data systems, ML infrastructure, developer platforms, or product features
Leadership: Lead a diverse team of engineers and mentor them through code reviews, technical design discussions, and career development
Technical Direction: Set technical direction and architecture in collaboration with your team and other leads
Execution: Drive projects from ideation to deployment, whether they are infrastructure, models, APIs, or platform features
Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to turn goals into concrete plans
Standards: Champion high engineering standards, including testing, documentation, observability, and deployment practices
Culture: Foster a team culture of inclusion, autonomy, and continuous improvement

Our take

With the likes of Meta, Amazon, and Google hosting the majority of ad campaigns, contemporary strategies can become overly complicated and lacking in owner control. Topsort has created a simple and customisable API through which users can create advertising elements like sponsored listings, banner and video ads, and control how they’re shown to potential customers.

Where the platform stands out is in its transparency and privacy-first approach - delivering a direct replacement of the “cookie” system usually used in sponsored ads. Topsort’s “clean room” is an encrypted technology that has zero-visibility into privacy data, ensuring anonymity for those being analysed.

This exciting new approach to media marketing analysis and campaign planning has turned investors' heads, at a time when data privacy is a hot topic. Topsort has enjoyed an impressive Series A of $20M, which will be used to scale and accelerate its growth.
