Founded in 2015, Perk has grown into a global company of more than 1,800 people across 12 offices globally, with headquarters in London and Boston. Job Description – Engineering Manager – Foundations
As an Engineering Manager for the Application Enablement team, you'll lead a group of experienced engineers responsible for building and evolving the shared infrastructure underlying Perk's web, iOS, and Android platforms within the Foundations group. The team is currently focused on several strategic initiatives (including synthetic monitoring, SDLC acceleration, and a contextual notifications platform), requiring strong technical leadership, thoughtful prioritisation, and the ability to help the team execute effectively while maintaining engineering quality.
In this role, you'll help shape the technical direction of that shared infrastructure and support the team in navigating a broad, cross-cutting domain that includes design systems, mobile release pipelines, frontend tooling, and UX reliability. You'll help balance the demands of immediate delivery with long-term platform sustainability, and manage the tension between proactive foundational investment and reactive support from product teams across the business. While deep expertise in native mobile or frontend platform engineering is not a strict requirement, experience working within complex, multi-platform systems is important.

You run effective performance reviews that celebrate achievements and help your team identify where to grow next in line with their aspirations and the needs of the business.

You have the ability to adapt and react fast to an ever-changing environment.
