General Engineering/HVAC

Engineering Manager

Uplight is creating a new category of energy. We make software that manages energy resources in homes and businesses—including things like smart thermostats, electric vehicles, solar panels, storage batteries, heat pumps, and even people's behavior—to generate, shift, or save energy to balance the grid, making it more efficient and reliable. This creates clean energy capacity that can be used by the power grid instead of burning more fossil fuels. Our solutions accelerate the transition to clean energy and save money for energy customers.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to grow a high performing engineering team, building technology that accelerates the clean energy revolution! In this role, you'll deliver high-impact software with a focus on developing people and fostering a healthy team culture.

Come lead 11 team members in 2 teams to help utilities adopt greener energy practices. You'll be very customer focused. We are evolving our tech stack and you'll help us with data driven decisions (DORA, delivery metrics, user feedback, system reliability) to make things better.

Balancing technical trade-offs with business needs to help us iteratively deliver our solutions. You will have a say in the choices we make for the product, the team, and where to invest our engineering staff. You'll demonstrate empathy for our customers, users, and fellow Uplighters including your staff. Their career growth will flourish as you help coach and guide them.

You get to build in a Databricks environment on AWS and help us decide what our technical strategy should be. Sharing our technical vision with the team, our customers, and the rest of Uplight will let you demonstrate your knowledge of the systems so we can all build better software together.

Studies have shown that women, marginalized genders and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Uplight 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 anyways. As a certified B Corporation, we're deeply committed to both social and environmental responsibility. Make a Meaningful Impact: Your work directly impacts our mission of decarbonization and building a more sustainable future.

Thrive: We offer comprehensive benefits, including flexible time off, generous parental leave, a wellness stipend, and work flexibility to help you thrive both personally and professionally.

Belong to an Inclusive Community: We celebrate diversity and foster an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, empowered, and heard. Salary Range: $161,000 to $185,000 + Bonus

Application Deadline: The actual offer, reflecting the total compensation package and benefits, will be determined by a number of factors including the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team.
