Software Engineering Manager – Reminders | London or Manchester – Hybrid (1–2 days per week in the office) | Competitive Salary + Benefits
About the Role
We’re looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead our Reminders engineering team at Moonpig. This is a hands-on, hybrid role based in London or Manchester, with 1–2 days per week in the office. The team’s regular office day is Thursday.
Reminders is an important part of how we help customers remember the people and occasions that matter. We’re evolving from an occasion-centric experience towards one that puts the recipient at the centre, bringing together customer data, personalisation and thoughtful UX to help us make more relevant card and gift recommendations.
You’ll lead a small team, working closely with Product and Design to shape what comes next. This isn’t a role where Engineering simply receives a roadmap and delivers it. You’ll help create an environment where engineers contribute to discovery, challenge ideas constructively and influence both what we build and how we build it.
It’s a role for someone who enjoys moving between technical conversations, coaching people and shaping product direction.

We’re proud to have a number of employee-led groups driving this forward, including our LGBTQ+, Gender Balance, Neurodiversity and EMBRACE (Educating Myself for Better Racial Awareness and Cultural Enrichment) communities, plus our Group-wide EDI committee. These teams help make sure every voice is heard and every idea has a place.
We know that diversity fuels creativity, innovation and connection, and that’s why we’ll keep pushing for progress. Together, we’re building a culture where everyone feels safe, supported, and free to be their brilliant, authentic selves.
