Canada Life UK has helped individuals, families and businesses secure their financial futures for over 120 years. Today, we are transforming our technology, culture and ways of working to become a more modern, customer centric and engineering led organisation.

As we modernise our IT estate and shift toward cloud, SaaS/PaaS and product centric delivery, we’re investing heavily in engineering excellence, empowered teams and great leadership.

We’re now looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Home Finance product engineering team-a group responsible for the systems that power our mortgage origination and servicing capabilities.

Why join us?

Shape the future of Home Finance

You’ll lead the evolution of our bespoke Ruby on Rails-based mortgage origination and servicing platform, architecting modern, resilient and scalable solutions.

True empowerment and autonomy

We operate stream-aligned product teams where Engineering Managers have real authority over technology decisions, people development, engineering standards and team culture.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead, coach and inspire a stream-aligned product engineering team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, psychological safety and high performance.
  • Drive adoption of agile, DevSecOps and modern engineering practices, optimising the flow of change and reducing time-to-value.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver secure, stable and scalable solutions that support Home Finance operations and customer outcomes.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance (including FCA MCOB) and operational excellence across the platform.
  • Shape the technology roadmap, contributing to architectural decisions and cloud migration strategies.
  • Manage operational risk, security posture, monitoring, alerting and incident response for Home Finance systems.
  • Use data and insights to guide prioritisation, engineering improvements and product decisions.
  • Support talent development, succession planning and recruitment to build a high-performing engineering capability.
  • Manage budgets responsibly, improving cost efficiency and value delivery.
  • Define and track team and departmental OKRs, ensuring alignment with Canada Life’s strategy.
  • Build strong relationships with third-party suppliers to maximise value and service quality.

About you
Technical expertise

  • Skilled in designing, managing and optimising relational SQL databases.

  • Hands-on knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure or GCP) and cloud-native architectures.

  • Broad engineering experience across DevSecOps, automation, CI/CD, infrastructure, monitoring and security best practice (“shift-left”).

  • Proven track record of running critical production services with a focus on stability, performance and security.

    Leadership & delivery

  • A people-first engineering leader who builds high-performing, motivated and curious teams.

  • Confident working with OKRs and outcome-driven delivery.

  • Able to communicate complex technical ideas simply and persuasively.

  • Skilled at navigating ambiguity, prioritising effectively and influencing senior stakeholders.

  • Collaborative, pragmatic and adept at building trust across product, engineering and operational teams.

Ruby on Rails Developer London (Hybrid)

A fast-growing technology business is building the next generation of insurance solutions, helping major e-commerce platforms protect customers while delivering simple, modern insurance experiences.

They are scaling, ambitious, and building properly from day one: regulated, revenue-generating, and already expanding across Europe with serious backing behind them. If you want meaningful ownership instead of being another developer lost in a big corporate machine, this is a chance to help shape something from the ground up alongside a small, highly capable engineering team.

You will be working across a modern platform built predominantly in Ruby on Rails (with Python also used within the stack), contributing to backend services, APIs and integrations with platforms like Shopify and Magento. You will have genuine input on architectural direction, opportunities to improve infrastructure as things scale, and the trust to ship great work without unnecessary noise. If your background is stronger in Python than Ruby, that is absolutely fine.

Required experience:

2+ years commercial engineering experience
Strong Ruby on Rails or Python experience
Solid understanding of API-led development
Comfortable working across modern full-stack environments
Someone who enjoys ownership, initiative and working in a small, ambitious team
Happy with hybrid working, typically 23 days per week in London

In return, you will be joining a genuinely exciting scaling environment rather than a maintenance role: greenfield work, a collaborative culture built around ownership and ambition, a performance-linked quarterly bonus structure, equity eligibility and the chance to help shape a product with serious long-term potential.

If you want to build real products, have a voice, and join a bright, driven engineering team making something meaningful, this is worth a conversation.
