Manager, Software Engineering

About SugarAI UK Limited SugarAI is redefining CRM for the age of AI. We’re delivering on the original promise of CRM—turning fragmented customer and revenue signals into clear, prioritized action. Instead of more dashboards or surface-level insights, we help teams focus on what matters most and know exactly what to do next. More than two decades after our founding, we’re entering a new chapter with clarity and momentum—building intelligent, intuitive solutions that work within the flow of how teams actually sell and serve. We’re focused on solving complex, real-world challenges where relationships, context, and precision make all the difference. Our global team is united by a shared commitment to impact, ownership, and continuous growth. We create an environment where thoughtful ideas move quickly, where people are trusted to lead, and where flexibility supports how great work gets done. If you’re excited to help shape what’s next in AI-driven CRM—and build technology that drives real outcomes—we’d love to meet you. SugarAI is at an inflection point, and it is a genuinely exciting one. Our ambition is to use generative AI to transform how sales professionals work, surfacing years of customer intelligence in seconds and turning unstructured data into sharp, actionable insight. We are rebuilding our engineering organisation to match that ambition, rearchitecting how we build, who we develop, and how we think about engineering in an AI-first world. The engineers here will not be spectators in that moment. They will be at the centre of it.  We are looking for an Engineering Manager who is a genuine thought leader, someone who can see where software engineering is heading, articulate that future with conviction to their team, and set the pace for getting there. The engineers you will lead are talented people who have been through a period of significant change. They are ready for someone who will invest in them, set a clear direction, and give them something worth building towards.  Your mandate is threefold. First, rebuild a team that has been through a difficult transition and restore their confidence, drive, and sense of purpose. Second, champion an AI-first engineering culture where spec-driven development and generative AI tooling become the standard way of working. Third, lead the shift away from siloed specialists towards multidisciplinary engineers who think and contribute across the full stack.  This is not a hands-on engineering role. It is a systems and people building one. You will be defining how this team operates, how it grows, and what it stands for. The decisions you make in the first 6 months will shape the engineering organisation for years to come. If you are energised by rebuilding, clear-eyed about the future of engineering, and ready to set a new standard, we would like to speak with you.
