About the Role

Neara is creating reality by using advanced machine learning to build digital twins of electricity grids. We simulate extreme weather and structural stress to help utilities optimize investments and build a more resilient global energy future. The Risk & Value Optimisation (RVO) platform is a strategic product that quantifies asset costs and informs management decisions. We are seeking a Tech Lead Manager to lead the engineering team building RVO, focusing on people leadership and technical depth.

Responsibilities

Own delivery end to end: plan and execute work across one or more quarters, set clear goals with your team and hold them to account, and make sure work ships reliably, sustainably, and in full.
Lead, grow, and mentor the team: develop ~3 engineers (in a cross-functional team of ~5) in their craft and quality of execution, support their career growth, and guide architecture, decision-making, and technical scaffolding - setting the standard for communication, accountability, and engineering culture.
Stay hands-on where you multiply the team: contribute to system design and architectural decisions, and write and review production-quality code across performance-critical, data-intensive components.
Own the technical core of RVO: Balance what lives in our core engineering platform versus the application layer, so the solution stays performant, flexible, and maintainable as it grows.
Work with complex, large-scale data: shape the ingestion and data structures that synthesise disparate sources (GIS, LiDAR, asset condition, historical failures) with a rich geospatial library, across very large networks.
Partner across the business, and look ahead: work closely with Product, Deployment, Customer Success, and Sales, and get in front of customers to understand the problems utilities face.
Raise the bar across engineering: influence best practices, tooling, and long-term platform direction, and help scale Neara's engineering culture as we grow.

Requirements

A technical people-leader who's owned delivery end to end: comfortable operating across engineering and product, accountable for outcomes not just outputs, and experienced leading, mentoring, and growing engineers at multiple levels.
You get up to speed fast in unfamiliar territory: you've walked into a technical area you didn't already know, built context without hand-holding, found the heart of the problem, and delivered.
Product sense, and a strong partner to Product: you keep the team focused on customer outcomes, and stay close to what utilities actually face - bringing an engineering perspective to hard, open-ended problems rather than waiting to be handed them.
You plan a route, then adapt as you learn: you've delivered ambitious, complex projects incrementally - shipping real progress along the way and changing course on evidence rather than clinging to the original plan.
Deep technical credibility: a strong track record architecting and shipping complex, production-grade systems, with the judgement to go deep and make sound trade-offs without out-experting the specialists.
No-ego, outcome-oriented, and detail-obsessed: our work influences large-scale investment decisions, so we deliver polished, pristine outcomes, and we always have each other's backs.
