Full Time

Overview

You’re not just looking to manage a team. You want to build something that matters, with your own hands and with people who care. As our Head of Engineering, you’ll lead the development of the core platform while still being in the trenches: shipping features, debugging workflows, and turning rough ideas into resilient systems. We’re a Seed-stage startup, so this role is both strategic and operational. You’ll shape our engineering culture and long-term tech direction, but also write code every week, pair with the team, and remove blockers wherever they show up.

In Short

  • Build and lead the engineering organization.
  • Scale core infrastructure from prototypes to reliable systems.
  • Make engineering a growth engine by collaborating with other departments.
  • Write code and ship features alongside the team.
  • Define technical strategy and roadmap.
  • Own the transition from MVP to platform.
  • Recruit and mentor a high-performing team.
  • Work with AI-assisted development tools.
  • Shape engineering standards and practices.
  • Contribute to a culture of collaboration and innovation.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience.
  • Strong full-stack skills across modern frontend frameworks and backend APIs.
  • Experience in leadership or founding roles.
  • Passion for coding and problem-solving.
  • Experience in fast-moving environments like startups.
  • Excitement for AI-native workflows and automation.
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Experience in building and mentoring teams.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package with cash and stock options.
  • Be part of a core team in an early-stage climate-tech startup.
  • Make an impact on climate change and energy transition.
  • Flexible hybrid work environment.
  • Opportunities for personal development and mentorship.
  • Start-up culture with training and team events.
  • Discounted fitness programs.
  • Commitment to diversity and inclusion.
