Plentific · London Office
About Us Plentific is a property technology platform used by housing providers, local authorities, housing associations, asset managers, and contractors across the UK and Germany to manage repairs, maintenance, compliance, and contractor operations at scale.Our platform combines marketplace infrastructure, workflow software, automation, and operational analytics. It is designed for the complexity, volume, and regulatory demands of social housing, public sector property portfolios, and large residential operations. We are headquartered in London, with engineering and operations across the UK and Germany. We are growing the team to expand the platform's coverage across Europe and to integrate AI throughout the product and operating model. If you want to work on hard, real-world problems in the world's largest asset class, we would like to hear from you. The Role We are hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead Plentific's product engineering organisation. You will manage the team leads of multiple engineering teams covering the core domains of our platform, with full accountability for the engineers across every discipline frontend, backend, mobile, and quality. You will report to the VP of Engineering. You bring deep technical knowledge and a strong appetite for learning especially around agentic AI and how it is reshaping the way software is built. Your hands-on coding focuses on the engineering organisation itself: improving the agentic tooling, the SDD framework, and the developer experience that makes every engineer faster and better. You stay close to the codebase, contribute code where it unblocks progress or moves the agentic SDLC forward, and review pull requests in enough depth to assess code quality, the maturity of our agentic practice, and individual engineer performance. You are equally comfortable in a 1:1 with a struggling engineer, in a roadmap conversation with a product manager, and in a design review with a staff engineer. Plentific's agentic software development transformation is already under way and producing results. We need a leader who can keep the momentum, expand it across every team, and partner with our engineering guild to refine the spec-driven development (SDD) framework, the agentic tooling, and the practices that have got us this far. You will help roll out SDD across the engineering organisation, drive adoption, and track the outcomes. Success looks like a team that is continuously getting stronger: accelerating delivery cadence against business commitments, rising engineering standards, and an agentic development practice that compounds month on month. Key Responsibilities Engineering Leadership Lead the product engineering organisation through its team leads, owning delivery, technical quality, and people outcomes across frontend, backend, mobile, and quality engineering. Contribute code that improves the agentic tooling, the SDD framework, or the developer experience that supports every team. Review pull requests in enough depth to assess code quality, the maturity of our agentic SDLC, and individual engineer performance. Set and enforce a high bar for engineering standards code review, testing, observability, and architectural review and hold every team to it. Agentic and Spec-Driven Development Champion agentic and spec-driven development practices across every team. Roll out our SDD framework, drive adoption, track its impact on delivery throughput and engineering quality, and feed learnings back into the practice. Participate actively in Plentific's engineering guild, partnering with other technical leaders to improve the SDD framework and the agentic tooling the guild produces. Treat the framework and tooling as a product whose customers are the product managers, designers, and engineers running our product development. Team Performance and Growth Recruit, close, and retain exceptional engineers. Set the bar high enough that every hire strengthens the team, and never compromise on quality to fill seats. Own and continuously improve our technical and behavioural interview methods. Design and iterate on live coding exercises, take-home challenges, and structured assessments so we evaluate candidate skills accurately, fairly, and at hiring scale. Own performance management and career development across engineering. Define what good looks like, coach every engineer toward that standard, and help them exceed it. Give direct, honest feedback. Build and develop the team leads, growing them into stronger managers through coaching, feedback, and clear expectations. Delivery and Partnership Partner with product managers to size and resource the roadmap accurately. Flag delivery risks early, make trade-offs explicit, and own on-time delivery against business commitments. Establish a clear operating rhythm across engineering planning, delivery review, and post-mortem that gives engineers predictable cadence and the wider organisation visibility into progress.
