Engineering Manager Jobs in Reading

Reading anchors the UK's "Silicon Corridor" along the M4, with major tech employers including Microsoft's UK HQ, Cisco, Oracle, Verizon and a long tail of telco/cloud engineering. Strong for senior tech roles; commutable to London.

Engineering manager roles in UK tech split into people-managers (no IC code work, all team leadership) and tech-leads (still hands-on 30–50% of the time). The split matters massively for career direction — picking the wrong flavour wastes years. London EMs at scaleups earn £110–160k base; tech leads £100–150k.
