[Hiring] Engineering Manager @Enode

Role Description

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the team building the software layer that connects EVs, chargers, solar, and batteries, so customers can optimize across fleets of homes and within each home, helping people manage their own energy while participating in grid-scale optimization. That means redesigning for speed, reliability, and broader coverage, evolving from controlling individual devices to optimizing the entire home, driveway included.

AI is raising the bar for engineering leadership, and we need someone who leads people, not just process, who sets a standard the team is proud to clear, and tells leadership what it needs to hear. Our people are our most valuable asset, and we're looking for someone who leads like that.

• 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.
• Shape strategy, product bets, and the roadmap for a business area we're still inventing.
• Lead the charge on AI adoption: find where it changes how we build, ship, and operate.
• Hire and grow people who make the team sharper, not just bigger.
• Set expectations that are impossible to misread, then hold people to them with empathy and firmness.
• Delegate like you mean it: give your team real ownership, not just tasks.
• Push back on stakeholders and plans that don't hold up, building trust, not friction.
• Build relationships people actually rely on, across engineering, product, and leadership.
• Be the person your team and peers come to think out loud with, providing direct feedback both ways.

Qualifications

• 3+ years managing engineers, and you love it!
• You have values you won't compromise, even when it costs you something.
• You are driven and ambitious, pushing for hard goals and holding a high bar for yourself and everyone around you.
• You have good instincts for when to keep it simple and when a clever solution is worth the complexity.
• You've led remote, distributed teams and know what holds people together at a distance.
• You think past your own team, comfortable shaping decisions at the engineering leadership-team level.
• You’ve built AI products that have contributed meaningfully to the team's success.
• You do your best work with your stakeholders in the room, not despite them.
• Strong opinions, loosely held; you'll fight for a position, and drop it the moment the evidence says you're wrong.
• Genuinely interested in the Energy shift, not just management as a craft, but this problem specifically.
• Proactive to a fault; you spot the problem before anyone asks you to, and find ways to fix it.
• People do better work around you; that's not an accident, it's how you lead and inspire.
• You’ve made lots of mistakes in the past and can tell us what that taught you and how it shaped the manager you are today.
• Bonus: you've worked across very different environments or company stages, and can tell us what that taught you.

Benefits

• 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.
• Real investment in your AI fluency with dedicated time to build the skill.
• 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.
