工程经理

The grid was built for predictable, centralised power. Today it's absorbing intermittent supply from grid scale solar and wind, alongside dynamic demand from EVs, heat pumps, and home batteries. The missing piece is software that can connect and orchestrate these devices at scale.

Enode provides the infrastructure layer that makes this possible. Our Connect API gives energy companies a single integration to 1000+ devices across 80+ brands. Our optimisation tooling gives energy companies the building blocks to manage those devices locally - think smart charging for EVs. Our Flex product turns those connected devices into a flexible, controllable asset for energy companies.

We work with device manufacturers across the energy hardware ecosystem - from EV brands to heat pump and solar inverter producers. Our customers are energy retailers, utilities, and traders building the next generation of energy services. We're backed by Y Combinator, Lowercarbon Capital, and Creandum.

The decisions made now will shape how the energy system gets built. We're looking for people who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about the role technology can play in the energy transition.

AI is fundamental to how we work

AI is how a team our size keeps rewiring the way we work, fast enough to match what our mission demands. We look for people who reach for AI as a reflex and who can drop a habit that used to work. People who care about unblocking others, not just about what they ship themselves. If that's not quite how you work yet but it's the direction you're heading, we'd still like to hear from you. We assess this in our interview process, alongside everything else we look at.

What we're looking for

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. You will:

• Own the team's technical vision end to end, not just execute someone else's roadmap. You partner effectively with the product team to create an ambitious roadmap
• Define what "great" looks like, and refuse to settle for less. Your definition comes from past experiences of seeing great teams succeed
• Sit at the table with the CTO to shape strategy, product bets, and the roadmap for a business area we're still inventing
• Sit on the engineering leadership team, your job doesn't stop at your team's edge
• Lead the charge on AI adoption: find where it changes how we build, ship, and operate, and make it real, not theoretical
• Hire and grow people who make the team sharper, not just bigger. You are a coach to your teammates and help them reach their full potential
• Set expectations that are impossible to misread, then hold people to them with empathy and firmness, in equal measure
• Delegate like you mean it: give your team real ownership, not just tasks
• Push back on me (the CTO), on stakeholders, on plans that don't hold up, and do it in a way that builds 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, no judgment, direct feedback both ways.

This role will be right for you, if

• 3+ years managing engineers, and you love it!
• You have values you won't compromise, even when it costs you something; tell us what those are!
• You are driven and ambitious, you push for hard goals and hold a high bar for yourself and everyone around you, consistently
• 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
• Note: whether you want to stay hands-on as a player-coach or focus fully on management, both are welcome!

What we offer

• 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 - you're part of our journey.
• Access to best in class AI tooling, we think the ceiling on what a small team can do has fundamentally shifted, and we want you to feel that.
• 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.
• 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.

A few things to note

• Enode is an equal opportunities employer. Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles.
