- Evaluate emerging technologies, prototype novel concepts, and guide strategic tech-stack decisions.
- Mentor and empower senior engineering talent, elevating technical craft, architecture design capabilities, and problem-solving skills.
- Diagnose and solve systemic, high-impact architectural bottlenecks, ensuring seamless integration across energy trading, IoT, and user-facing platforms.
- Champion platform reliability, security, and developer efficiency, removing technical friction for autonomous engineering teams.
- Set the bar for how we build with AI agents, and shape how the rest of engineering adopts new AI-driven ways of working.
Requirements
- Motivated by impact and know how to turn strategy into execution.
- Accustomed to fast-paced environments and thrive when given clear goals and high accountability.
- Demonstrable experience as a Principal, Staff, or Chief Engineer designing and operating mission-critical distributed systems at scale.
- Deep expertise in modern cloud architectures, event-driven microservices, high-throughput IoT streaming pipelines, or energy tech infrastructures.
- Strong technical leadership and communication skills, with a track record of driving cross-functional alignment on high-stakes architecture decisions.
