Department: Tech - Engineering
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Zinc - London
Reporting To: Rob Leonard
Compensation: £95,000 / year
We are looking for a people-first Engineering Manager to lead two of our core product engineering squads. Our platform is at a critical inflection point: we are evolving from a fast-growth startup into a mature, scaled engineering organisation.
You will lead a group of eight senior and mid-level engineers. This is not a hands-on coding role; instead, your "code" is the team itself. You will focus on building a high-trust environment, refining our delivery engine, and ensuring our engineers have the clarity and support they need to ship high-quality, compliant software.
1. People Leadership & Growth
2. Delivery & Process Evolution
3. Technical Stewardship
Zinc offers a chance to work on a product that brings a fresh perspective on data ownership in hiring
At Zinc, we believe that background checks should be instant, easy, and delightful. Yes, you read that right.
Traditional background checking providers are slow, manual, and error-prone — Zinc’s here to change that.
Here’s how it works:
Step one: Select your checks
With Zinc you get exactly the checks you want, and no extras you don’t. Make your own templates and re-use them, or use our pre-built packages to align with any regulatory check requirements.
Zinc offers global checks in over 190 countries, including:
Credit checks
Address verification
Reference checks
Qualification checks
For a full list, visit https://zincwork.com/checks.
Step two: Tell Zinc who you’re checking
Enter your candidate or employee’s name and email address, then click “Request checks.”
The rest is easy: Candidates use our mobile-friendly platform to submit any required information, referee names, and additional documents. We’ll even chase references for you.
Here’s what Becca Covill, HR Operations Specialist at Jensten, said about Zinc references:
“When we’ve used different providers, there was a lot of manual intervention required. But with Zinc, we’ve been able to put them in, click a button, and it just runs.”
To stay in the loop, just visit your Zinc dashboard and get at-a-glance updates.
