You will join one of BT’s Platform Engineering teams and take ownership of a small engineering squad responsible for building and operating core platform capabilities. Your Team will design and deliver cloud-native tooling, templates, and Infrastructure as Code that abstract away infrastructure complexity and allow product teams to focus on shipping value — not managing platforms. This is a hands-on Engineering Manager role. You are expected to remain technically active, lead by example through code and design, and provide clear technical direction. You will be a confident solution designer, able to communicate complex technical ideas clearly to engineers, stakeholders, and senior leadership. You will work closely with other Engineering Managers, SRE, Developer Experience, and application teams across BT to ensure our platform capabilities are secure, scalable, and genuinely useful.
