Join Motorway as a Senior Engineering Manager - Payments

Motorway is the fastest-growing used car marketplace in the UK, revolutionizing how private car sellers connect with thousands of verified dealers across the nation. Since our inception in 2017, we have embraced a technology-driven approach that has transformed the car-selling experience. Backed by top-tier technology investors, we have successfully raised £143 million in Series C funding.

This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a dynamic scale-up during a pivotal growth period and make a meaningful impact in the automotive industry.

Role Overview:

At Motorway, we have been shaking up a stagnant car market for years. As the UK's leading marketplace, our engineering team drives our rapid growth. As we shift our focus towards profitability, we are committed to evolving our digital products quickly while ensuring our platform remains reliable and scalable. This involves a thoughtful evolution of our systems, balancing immediate business demands with future readiness—think of building a sleek, future-proof chassis while racing ahead.

We are on the lookout for a hands-on Senior Engineering Manager passionate about developing the next generation of Motorway products in a fast-paced environment. Your role will be crucial in driving developers to deliver exceptional value to our customers.

If you are excited about the transformative impact of modern AI on software delivery, understand the shift towards agentic workflows, and recognize the essential conditions for success—including reliable developer environments, strong CI, excellent observability, well-defined APIs, effective quality gates, and systems designed for safe composition—then we want to hear from you.

Reporting directly to the Director of Engineering, you will lead multiple teams, nurture talented developers and managers, and ensure the development of a world-class engineering organization.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Drive Team Execution: Collaborate with product leaders to establish quarterly objectives and facilitate agile ceremonies (standups, sprints, retros) to maintain momentum.

  • Oversee the management of 4–7 developers and 1–3 Engineering Managers, taking full accountability for their career advancement, recruitment, and smooth onboarding.

  • Technical Oversight & Architecture: Ensure the technical integrity and architectural vision of the projects undertaken.
