**Engineering Manager – .NET / C# | Build & Lead a New Team **

  • Build a brand-new engineering team from the ground up

  • Lead 5+ engineers while staying hands-on with .NET

  • Shape architecture, technical strategy & product direction

Are you an experienced Engineering Manager or .NET Team Lead looking for a role where you can combine people leadership with hands-on technical ownership?

This is a rare opportunity to join an Irish-owned technology business backed by €50M in investment, as it enters an exciting phase of growth.

You’ll be the first engineering hire for a new Dublin team, initially leading 5 engineers with plans for further growth. You’ll have genuine ownership over team development, architecture, technical strategy and engineering standards rather than simply managing an established team.

The product is a mission-critical financial platform already supporting 160+ live integrations, giving you the opportunity to work on technology with real scale and industry impact.

Why Join?

  • Build and grow a new Dublin engineering team

  • Lead and mentor 5+ engineers, with further hiring planned

  • Stay hands-on with C# / .NET

  • Influence architecture and technical direction

  • Work closely with senior stakeholders and product leadership

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the design and development of scalable .NET / C# solutions

  • Manage, mentor and develop a team of 5+ engineers

  • Own key systems from architecture through to deployment

  • Drive technical strategy, engineering standards and best practices

Tech Stack

C# / .NET | REST APIs | PostgreSQL / MS SQL | AWS | Docker | Kubernetes | CI/CD | Cloud-native integrations

What You Bring

  • 10+ years’ experience in .NET / C#

  • 3+ years’ experience as an Engineering Manager, Team Lead or similar

  • Strong system design and scalable architecture experience

  • Solid SQL experience with PostgreSQL or MS SQL

  • Hands-on AWS / cloud experience

If you’re a .NET Engineering Manager, Engineering Lead, Principal Engineer or Senior .NET Team Lead and want the opportunity to build something from the ground up, this could be a very interesting next step.
