Engineering Manager

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the team building the software layer that connects EVs, chargers, solar, and batteries, so customers can optimize across fleets of homes and within each home, helping people manage their own energy while participating in grid-scale optimization. That means redesigning for speed, reliability, and broader coverage, evolving from controlling individual devices to optimizing the entire home, driveway included.

AI is raising the bar for engineering leadership, and we need someone who leads people, not just process, who sets a standard the team is proud to clear, and tells leadership what it needs to hear. Our people are our most valuable asset, and we're looking for someone who leads like that. You will:

• Own the team's technical vision end to end, not just execute someone else's roadmap. You partner effectively with the product team to create an ambitious roadmap
• Define what "great" looks like, and refuse to settle for less. Your definition comes from past experiences of seeing great teams succeed
• Sit at the table with the CTO to shape strategy, product bets, and the roadmap for a business area we're still inventing
• Sit on the engineering leadership team, your job doesn't stop at your team's edge
• Lead the charge on AI adoption: find where it changes how we build, ship, and operate, and make it real, not theoretical
• Hire and grow people who make the team sharper, not just bigger. You are a coach to your teammates and help them reach their full potential
• Set expectations that are impossible to misread, then hold people to them with empathy and firmness, in equal measure
• Delegate like you mean it: give your team real ownership, not just tasks
• Push back on me (the CTO), on stakeholders, on plans that don't hold up, and do it in a way that builds trust, not friction
• Build relationships people actually rely on, across engineering, product, and leadership
• Be the person your team and peers come to think out loud with, no judgment, direct feedback both ways.
