What you'll do
- Set the multi-year architecture vision for Volt Mesh across cloud, edge, and data layers—own the roadmap for how we stay resilient as we onboard thousands of sites.
- Lead and mentor engineering leads spanning Java platform, Angular experience, device integrations, and data science; institute rituals that keep collaboration humming across time zones.
- Establish guardrails for secure-by-design development, from threat modeling and SOC 2 controls to on-prem deployments subject to utility compliance.
- Partner with product and customer teams to shape pilots, unblock enterprise deals, and bring field learnings back into our platform backlog.
- Recruit senior talent, calibrate leveling frameworks, and nurture a culture where engineers ship, measure, and iterate with confidence.
- Stay close to code—review critical PRs, facilitate architecture spikes, and jump into debug sessions when megawatts are on the line.
What makes you a great fit
- Proven track record leading 40+ person engineering organizations in SaaS, IoT, or industrial platforms—with at least one scale-up story from seed to Series B or beyond.
- Depth in JVM ecosystems (Java/Kotlin/Spring) and front-end stacks (Angular/React) plus comfort orchestrating microservices, event-driven pipelines, and real-time dashboards.
- Experience with edge connectivity (OCPP, Modbus, BACnet, MQTT) and data infrastructure (Postgres/Timescale, Kafka, time-series stores).
- Skilled communicator who can translate architecture decisions for customers, investors, and cross-functional peers—comfortable presenting at board meetings or live deployments.
- Bias for action: you coach through pairing, write crisp docs, and keep teams aligned on outcomes, not just output.
- Nice to have: background in energy, mobility, or critical infrastructure, plus familiarity with GCC regulatory environments.
