What you'll do
- Own the team's technical vision end to end, not just execute someone else's roadmap; partner effectively with the product team to create an ambitious roadmap
- Define what "great" looks like and refuse to settle for less
- 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, with a job that 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; coach teammates to help them reach their full potential
- Set expectations that are impossible to misread, then hold people to them with empathy and firmness
- Delegate like you mean it: give your team real ownership, not just tasks
- Push back on the CTO, stakeholders, and plans that don't hold up in a way that builds trust
- 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
What we're looking for
- 3+ years managing engineers, and you love it
- Values you won't compromise, even when it costs you something
- Driven and ambitious, pushing for hard goals and holding a high bar for yourself and everyone around you
- Good instincts for when to keep it simple and when a clever solution is worth the complexity
- Have led remote, distributed teams and know what holds people together at a distance
- Think past your own team, comfortable shaping decisions at the engineering leadership-team level
- Have built AI products that have contributed meaningfully to the team's success
- Do your best work with your stakeholders in the room
- Strong opinions, loosely held; fight for a position and drop it when the evidence says you're wrong
- Genuinely interested in the Energy shift, not just management as a craft, but this problem specifically
- Proactive to a fault; spot the problem before anyone asks and find ways to fix it
- People do better work around you; you lead and inspire
- Have made lots of mistakes in the past and can tell us what that taught you and how it shaped the manager you are today
Nice to have
- You've worked across very different environments or company stages, and can tell us what that taught you
Benefits
Real investment in your AI fluency: dedicated time to build the skill, an internal skills library you can contribute to, and the tooling budget to work properly
- Opportunity to join and impact an early-stage climate tech startup with global aspirations as we scale
- A mission-driven, fun and caring environment with high drive and ambition
- Competitive compensation, including a very attractive employee option program
- Access to best in class AI tooling
- Remote-first in Europe, with the option of attending an office in Oslo or receiving a co-working pass on demand
