About the role

We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced engineering leader to join our growing team. In this role, you will own and lead the technical strategy and development for enterprise applications that will meet the needs of an evolving electric grid at planet scale. You will be a standard-bearer for engineering excellence and establish the tools, architecture, and best practices that empower our teams. You will lead teams through ambiguous and complex charters, driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. 

How you will make 10X Impact

• Own and drive Technical Strategy: Define and drive a forward-looking technical vision that closely aligns with product roadmaps and customer priorities.
• Architect at Scale: Guide the architecture and design of enterprise applications with the right emphasis on future scale, complexity, availability, fault tolerance, and security to earn partner trust and meet Google-scale reliability standards.
• Cross-functional collaboration and leadership: Partner seamlessly with product managers, user experience designers, data scientists, power systems engineers, and other engineering leaders to deliver high-impact solutions. You will translate high-level business ambiguity into concrete technical roadmaps for your teams and stakeholders.
• Hands-on technical contributions: Maintain strong technical depth and provide technical guidance and mentorship to the team on design and implementation, diving deep as needed.
• Build and develop high-performing teams: Coach and develop engineers and technical leaders, foster a strong engineering culture, and build the organizational capabilities needed to deliver against Tapestry's long-term goals.

What you should have:

• Experience: 12+ years of experience in software engineering with a deep focus on distributed systems, backend infrastructure, and enterprise applications, with at least 10 years in formal people management or high-impact technical leadership roles.
• Architectural Depth: Proven track record of designing, building, and scaling reliable production systems and applications. Thorough knowledge of large-scale data processing and modeling.
• Operational Excellence: Deep understanding of reliability engineering, performance optimization, and establishing engineering tools and processes for large teams.
• Communication: The ability to translate high-level "moonshot" ambiguity into concrete technical roadmaps for your team and stakeholders.

It'd be great if you also had:

• PhD in Computer Science or a related quantitative field.
• Prior experience in a "zero-to-one" environment or building out a new geographic engineering site.
• Experience building LLM-orchestrated distributed systems or autonomous agent frameworks.
• A passion for using data and technology to create a future with reliable, affordable, and clean energy for everyone.

Our values

• Take charge: We take initiative and own outcomes that move the mission forward.
• Transform with purpose: We build solutions that solve real problems and create meaningful impact.
• Be a Tapestry, not a thread: We collaborate across diverse skills and perspectives to achieve more than we can individually.
• Always fine-tune: We stay curious, seek feedback, and refine our understanding as we learn.
• Stay grounded: We listen openly, value different perspectives, and stay focused on what matters most.
