Engineering Manager

About EnergyHub

EnergyHub empowers utilities and their customers to create a clean, distributed energy future. We help consumers turn their smart thermostats, EVs, batteries, and other products into virtual power plants that keep the grid stable and enable higher penetration of solar and wind power.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, is comfortable navigating ambiguity while moving projects forward, and is motivated to build software and processes that foster greater team efficiency and scalability across the organization. This person will focus on people management, strategic alignment and software development projects that have a meaningful impact on EnergyHub’s product and people.

You will help evolve a critical system that sits at the intersection of product, operations, and platform engineering. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys bringing clarity to complex domains, improving internal tooling, and building systems that scale as the business grows.

• Communicate tradeoffs and progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ensure the team delivers quality, scalable, well-tested, code on time and in scope.
• Continuously raise the bar for your team through organizational evolution, agile process improvement efforts and leveling your team’s technical prowess
• Thrive on building your direct report’s skills through coaching, mentoring and training opportunities
• Conduct code reviews across the team, with the ability to dive into working in the existing code base as needed
• Other duties as assigned
