The company and product
We're working to solve emotional pain in the workplace. We integrate with Slack and Teams which allows our clients’ employees to access therapy in a few clicks. It is easy to access and designed to be used by everyone - user centred design is very important to us. We’re trusted by the likes of Typeform, Bloom & Wild and Eve as well as many other progressive employers you can see listed on our site, and we're funded by Passion Capital, Ada Ventures and Seedcamp.
What will you be doing
At Spill we believe that engineers build better products when deeply intertwined with product. You should care deeply about our users problems and want to be involved in the process of solving them.
We're a small engineering team but looking to grow considerably over the next 6-12 months. As we grow we are looking for an experienced engineering manager to take on some people responsibilities. You are likely to spend the majority of your time managing the team and hiring, however we do see previous engineering experience as a requirement. Some things you might be working on:
- review and development plans - helping engineers progress to the next level
- set goals individually or at a team level
- helping hire experienced and diverse teams of engineers
- management responsibilities such as 121s and giving feedback
You'll be reporting directly to the Head of Engineering and will hopefully play a huge role in defining engineering culture at Spill. We're excited about this role and the impact you will have!
The current team setup is 7 software engineers with a mixture of seniority plus a Head of Engineering. We are looking to scale the team to about 25 by the end of 2022. Some things you might be working on: introducing a progression framework, working with our D&I team to improve diversity in the engineering team, and working with Head of Engineering to create a hiring plan.

- Experience as a line manager to a team
- Previous experience as a software engineer

Don’t meet all of the role requirements? Don’t worry! We care about outcomes rather than tickbox criteria, and it’s often the case that the perfect person for the role has a CV that looks a little different.
Research (by Harvard University 🤓) shows that women are particularly likely to second-guess themselves and not apply — so if you’re worried you don’t meet all the criteria, get in touch anyhow and let us do the worrying.
At Spill, we are committed to building a company that includes people from a variety of different backgrounds. We're particularly interested in hearing from people from typically underrepresented groups in the tech industry💛
