Engineering Manager

We are a fast-moving technology company, and one of the most successful providers of online reward and benefits solutions in the

world. We believe that everyone deserves an exceptional experience at work, every day, and build workplace technology that makes

this happen. Benifex’s mission is to build remarkable experiences that employees love. Today Benifex supports more than five

million employees in over 3,000 organisations across more than 100 countries. To help us on our quest to be the best, we need

brilliant people on board and that’s where you come in. 🚀

• Join a collaborative software engineering community across Sweden and the UK, where you’ll shape ways of working and drive

continuous improvement together.

• Be empowered to take ownership - this is a role for someone who thrives on autonomy, proactivity, and making tangible

improvements.

• Work with experienced, high-performing engineers in a complex product environment that offers both technical and organisational

challenges.

As Engineering Manager, you will lead two teams, one consisting of 6 people and the other of 4, responsible for complex domains

within the Benifex platform. Their responsibilities span our mobile app, shared frontend framework, platform look and feel, and

employee experience products, as well as Pay Transparency, Total Reward Statements and Projections, and the APIs and services that

support employee documents and payslips. The teams combine product development with the ongoing improvement of a large,

established codebase, with a focus on reliability, accessibility and continuous improvement. You will drive delivery, coach your

teams to improve performance, and ensure smooth collaboration across this distributed setup. This is a leadership role with a

strong focus on people, delivery, and continuous improvement. Success in this role means proactively identifying opportunities,

removing bottlenecks, and enabling your teams to consistently perform at their best.

• Lead and develop two engineering teams, ensuring strong delivery performance, clear accountability, and continuous improvement

across teams.

• Drive agile ways of working, ensuring effective ceremonies, strong execution, and continuous improvement while balancing team

autonomy.

• Standardise and evolve engineering practices and processes (e.g. code quality, ways of working) together with other Engineering

Managers.

• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager with strong leadership seniority and a track record of building and leading

high-performing engineering teams with a focus on delivery, continuous improvement, and measurable results.

• Strong technical understanding from a software engineering background, with ability to translate product requirements into team

plans, capacity, and execution.

• Strong people leadership skills, including coaching, performance management, feedback, and the ability to build trust and

motivation in teams.

• Solid understanding of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban), including sprint planning, estimation, task breakdown, and iterative

delivery.

• Ability to drive engineering quality, including high coding standards, maintainability, testing practices, and prevention of

technical debt.

• Collaborative and empathetic leadership style with strong communication skills and ability to work closely with engineers, tech

leads, product managers, and other stakeholders.

AI/tools to improve efficiency.
