Desirable

• As an Engineering Director you will be responsible for the development and performance of key parts of our applications – orchestrating the actions of millions of grid-edge devices (from smart thermostats to home batteries to electric vehicles to entire factories) to safeguard the grid and enable its decarbonization
• You’ll bring your technical expertise and your empathetic leadership to make sure we do that job safely and correctly, and empower our clients to clearly understand and easily use our platform
• Attract, mentor, lead & retain the multiple engineering managers and developers responsible for building and maintaining our system
• Be an advocate for observability, reliability, equity and safety in all we do
• Collaborate with the Product team to define our roadmap and surface growth opportunities
• Work across the entire Engineering team to establish best practices, help identify problems and implement solutions
• Define and build the team responsible for core applications in line with our overall company objectives
• Work with Product and others in engineering to model the foundations for feature requests that open us up to new revenue or optimized fulfillment
• Other duties as assigned
• Your teams do things like:
• Build interfaces to let humans understand and wield the platform effectively
• Build automations to protect the grid without human intervention
• Implement strategies to safeguard grid health
• Build APIs to integrate with external client systems and internal engineering partners
• Why you want to do it:
• It’s big. With millions of devices and gigawatts of power under management – you’ll be fighting climate change at scale
• Keeping it simple is hard. We’re adding new device types all the time, and leveraging more and more data to develop new strategies for grid stabilization
• Reliability matters. Your teams’ systems control a non-trivial fraction of the North American power grid
• It’s fun. Work with smart, mission-driven people. Play with cool new green technology. Solve puzzles in org design, system design, usability and more
• It’s important. Climate change sucks. Our work enables decarbonization of the power grid
