Job Description

Role Overview
Project Charlie is seeking a Lead Software Engineer – Mobile & Platforms to provide senior technical leadership for the design, development, and evolution of a new customer‑facing mobile application platform. This role begins as a hands‑on senior individual contributor and technical authority and will progressively build and lead a small internal engineering team as the platform matures.
The Lead Software Engineer owns mobile and backend architecture, guides implementation decisions, coordinates integration across PG&E systems, and leads delivery through technical direction, mentorship, and increasing team leadership responsibility.

Key Responsibilities
Provide hands‑on technical leadership for the Project Charlie mobile application platform from initial design through launch monitoring, and ongoing evolution.
Design, implement, and maintain mobile applications, backend services, and supporting APIs.
Own and influence end-to-end solution architecture across mobile, cloud services, enterprise integrations, and platform dependencies.
Lead technical integration with internal systems, ensuring reliability, scalability, and long‑term maintainability.
Design and integrate IoT, grid‑edge, and device‑generated data into backend services and customer‑facing mobile experiences.
Partner closely with internal IT, security, and platform teams to ensure compliance with technology standards, privacy, security, and regulatory requirements.
Serve as the technical authority for architecture decisions, design trade‑offs, and implementation approaches.
Guide and mentor engineers—internal and vendor—through design reviews, code reviews, and day‑to‑day technical leadership.
Provide technical oversight and governance for external engineering vendors and contracted partners, ensuring quality and architectural consistency.
Contribute to delivery planning, dependency management, and mitigation of technical risk in partnership with Product and Program leadership.
Help define the engineering team structure and hiring approach, participating in hiring, onboarding, and development of a small internal team over time.

Strong background in:
o    Mobile application development (iOS, Android, and/or cross-platform frameworks)
o    Backend services, APIs, and cloud platforms
o    System and solution architecture
Experience designing or integrating systems that consume IoT, sensor, or device-generated data
Strong hands‑on coding capability across modern software stacks.
Proven ability to lead teams and influence without owning all implementation details
Experience working with external vendors or consulting firms
Desired Experience
Experience building and scaling customer-facing digital products
Experience with event-driven, or near-real-time data architectures
Experience supporting products through launch and post‑launch iteration
Desired Characteristics
