Summary
Martin Mayer is a software engineering leader with nine years of formal leadership experience and a long history of hands-on development dating back to the early 2000s. Currently Head of Engineering for Integrated Products at Gamma, he has repeatedly grown and structured multi-team organisations—managing up to 21 direct reports across onshore and offshore squads—to deliver carrier integrations and complex platform features. Comfortable switching between strategic leadership and technical problem-solving, Martin’s background spans .NET, C#, Azure, SQL Server and mobile/proof-of-concept work, with a strong focus on reducing lead time and improving code quality through Kaizen and testable architectures. He has a track record of stepping into interim leadership roles to stabilise delivery and mentor senior engineers, and brings a pragmatic product-oriented approach informed by early career work in games and developer tooling. Based in Manchester and educated in Computer Science at the University of Birmingham, he pairs operational grit with a curiosity for tooling and process improvements that quietly drive team performance.
