Role
Who you are
- 8+ years building production software, including 3+ in a technical leadership role (team/tech lead, staff/principal, or head of eng)
- You are a conflict mediator, a coach and a team player with experience in leading and growing teams
- Hands-on expertise with AWS, along with most of the TMH tech stack: Node.js, Typescript, Python, Rust
- Strong coding ability in at least two TMH languages, plus fluency with modern dev tooling (Git, CI/CD, containers, IaC)
- Proven track record shipping complex services at pace with high reliability (cloud-native, APIs, data pipelines, or similar)
- Deep experience with testing strategies (unit/integration/e2e), code review discipline, and continuous delivery
- Demonstrated architectural judgment and ability to pay down tech debt without stalling delivery
- Clear communicator who partners effectively with Product, Design, and GTM
- Resident of United States or Canada
Desirable
- Experience in energy, mobility, IoT, or other real-time, data-heavy domains
- Prior responsibility for SLOs/operational readiness at scale (on-call, incident management, postmortems)
- Background in data modeling, event-driven architectures, or stream processing
- Built internal platforms or developer experience tooling that measurably improved throughput
- East Coast resident for easier collaboration with Europe
What the job involves
- TMH seeks a hands-on technical leader to own engineering velocity and product quality for our ChargePilot edge devices and the corresponding cloud infrastructure
- You will set a pragmatic technical vision, write production code, mentor developers, and partner with Product to deliver fast, stable releases while minimizing tech debt
- This is a player/coach role: you’ll lead architecture and process, jump into code reviews and incident response, and systematically improve our CI/CD, test coverage, and reliability
- Define and drive a coherent technical roadmap aligned with Product strategy; make build/buy/deprecate decisions to control complexity and cost-efficiency
- Own development velocity and quality: establish coding standards, testing strategy, CI/CD, and release practices with clear SLAs/SLOs
- Lead architecture/design reviews; de-risk initiatives through RFCs, spikes, and measurable milestones
- Write production-grade code (e.g., core services, performance fixes, developer tooling) ~30–50% of your time
- Mentor and level-up engineers in your function as a line manager for the tech team; institute feedback loops, pairing, and growth plans
- Champion observability, security, and reliability as well as compliance: logging/metrics/tracing, threat modeling, incident playbooks, postmortems
- Partner with Product on scope, sequencing, and trade-offs; ensure ticket quality and tight feedback cycles
- Improve data practices: schemas, migrations, performance, and privacy-by-design
- Support hiring, onboarding, and vendor/tool selection; manage engineering budget levers tied to throughput
- Participate in developer oversight, performance management, and discipline
Our take
The Mobility House is an electromobility expert that integrates vehicle batteries into the power grid using innovative energy and charging solutions. The company’s expansive partner ecosystem is made up of over 2,000+ partners, including EV charger manufacturers, 1,000+ installation companies, 80+ energy suppliers, and a range of automotive manufacturers (including Audi and Tesla).
From partnering with NYCSBUS to bring optimised charging to electric school busses in NYC, to its acquisition of Charging-as-a-Service company Charge Theory, fleet charging is at the centre of the company’s focus. Its suite of products includes its ChargePilot software (which optimises charging) and its EV aggregation and Flexibility Trading Platform (which leverages V2G charging technology to provide services to the grid).
The smart charging and V2G markets are rapidly evolving, and the company’s substantial funding has enabled it to further invest in its technology development efforts, as well as further its market position across Europe, North America, and Asia.
