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 still being invented
- Sit on the engineering leadership team, with a job that doesn't stop at the team's edge
- Lead the charge on AI adoption: find where it changes how we build, ship, and operate, and make it real
- Hire and grow people who make the team sharper, not just bigger; coach teammates to 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 the 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 rely on across engineering, product, and leadership
- Be the person the team and peers come to think out loud with, with direct feedback both ways
What we're looking for
- 3+ years managing engineers
- 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
- Experience leading remote, distributed teams and knowing what holds people together at a distance
- Comfortable shaping decisions at the engineering leadership-team level
- Experience building AI products that have contributed meaningfully to the team's success
- Do your best work with stakeholders in the room
- Strong opinions, loosely held; fight for a position and drop it when evidence says you're wrong
- Genuinely interested in the energy shift, not just management as a craft
- Proactive to a fault; spot problems before being asked and find ways to fix them
- People do better work around you
- Able to tell what past mistakes taught you and how they shaped the manager you are today
Nice to have
- Worked across very different environments or company stages, and can tell 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
- Three annual off-sites to connect with the team in exciting & fun places
- Flexible, human-first culture
- Stipend for setting up your home office
