Engineering Manager (Data Team)

About the role

We're growing fast and our Engineering team will double in size over the next 3 months and we are looking for an Engineering Manager to join Bluefish's engineering leadership team. This is not just a leadership role; it's a unique opportunity to help shape the foundation of a fast-moving, product-driven startup during a critical phase of growth. In this role, you will lead our Data Engineering team, which is responsible for the pipelines and infrastructure powering our AI-driven commerce intelligence platform. Our systems acquire and process hundreds of millions of synthetic prompts and signals, and the platform is expected to scale significantly as our traffic grows rapidly over the coming months. A major focus of this role is helping the team evolve our data platform toward a scalable data lake architecture while maintaining reliability for critical production pipelines used by enterprise customers. You'll lead the charge on execution, quality, and team culture. You'll help transform early-stage velocity into mature, high-performing teams, without losing the edge and pace that define great startups. At the same time, you will help the team move from a highly reactive operational mode toward a more sustainable, scalable engineering model, reducing incidents and freeing engineers to focus on higher-impact work such as platform improvements and new capabilities, while retaining excellent incident response practices. The role is linked with our location in London, but we are fully remote in UK.
