Your space-enabled career begins here

Nearmap is looking for an Engineering Manager to own the development and evolution of our public-facing digital platform — including nearmap.com. This is a high-impact, autonomous role that blends hands-on technical leadership with direct ownership of delivery and the marketing stakeholder relationship.

Our website is a finely tuned conversion machine — powering personalisation, eCommerce, interactive product experiences, and A/B testing. You will be the engineering force behind all of that. You'll translate business requirements into high-quality, scalable web solutions and operate with a high degree of autonomy, balancing speed, quality, and commercial outcomes without reliance on a dedicated PM or TPM function.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Technical Leadership & Solution Design

• Lead the design and implementation of web solutions supporting Nearmap's digital presence and commercial goals.
• Own technical decisions across the web platform, ensuring scalability, performance, and maintainability.
• Partner closely with Design and Marketing to translate business requirements into effective technical solutions.

Delivery & Execution

• Own end-to-end delivery for website initiatives — from requirement clarification through to production release.
• Plan and prioritise work in collaboration with Marketing and stakeholders, balancing business needs with technical considerations.
• Remove blockers and drive progress without relying on a dedicated TPM or PM function.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Act as the primary technical point of contact for Marketing and business stakeholders.
• Shape requirements through technical input, ensuring solutions are practical, scalable, and aligned with platform capabilities.
• Communicate clearly on progress, risks, and trade-offs, and build trusted relationships across Engineering, Design, and Marketing.

Engineering Quality & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain high standards of code quality, testing, and maintainability across the web platform.
• Drive best practices in web performance, accessibility, SEO, and Core Web Vitals.
• Ensure the platform remains reliable, secure, and easy to evolve over time.

People Leadership

• Lead and support a small team of engineers, fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment.
• Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and feedback to team members.
• Promote a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous learning.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Experience

• Proven track record building and delivering modern web applications, ideally including high-traffic marketing or eCommerce sites.
• Background in a technical leadership or senior engineering role, comfortable operating without a PM or TPM function.
• Strong hands-on experience with Storyblok or a comparable headless CMS (Contentful, Sanity, or similar).
• Experience working directly with non-technical stakeholders such as Marketing and Design, owning the relationship end-to-end.
• Strong frontend engineering skills across JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS — with deep React and Next.js experience.
• Solid understanding of web performance, SEO, accessibility, and conversion optimisation.
• Ability to design scalable, maintainable frontend architectures; exposure to personalisation, auth integration, or eCommerce is a plus.
