The data-driven technology enables energy operators to stop leaks faster, reduce risk, streamline reporting, and differentiate their operations for key stakeholders.

We’re looking for an experienced and technical Software Engineering Manager to lead a sharp, motivated engineering team. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll guide the team, set direction, help people grow, and jump into the code when it makes sense. That ideal candidate has run teams before, built real stuff at scale, and knows how to push things forward without burning people out.

We care about high standards, smart tradeoffs, and getting better every cycle. Were not into grind culture, micromanagement, or performative productivity — just honest work and meaningful results.

You’ll report to our Director of Product (who was Engineer #2 here and helped build the core product) and now brings deep technical knowledge to shaping the roadmap and dev process.

What Youll Do

Lead and support a team of full-stack engineers building real-time web apps and data systems
Set technical direction and keep the bar high on quality, reliability, and performance
Coach engineers, unblock problems, and help people level up
Stay close to the work; review code, contribute to designs, and write code where it counts
Collaborate with product, hardware, and data teams to ship stuff that actually solves problems
Drive execution: help the team focus, prioritize, and deliver without chaos
Keep the team healthy with clear communication, realistic pacing, and a strong feedback loop
