Software Manager (to Senior Manager)
Company Overview
Driven by our vision of the affordable, reliable, net-zero carbon grid of the future, Mainspring has developed a new category of power generation — the linear generator — that delivers onsite, fuel-flexible power to help accelerate the transition to the future grid.
The unique combination of attributes offered by Mainspring’s linear generator enables applications on both the customer and utility sides of the meter for the $816B global electricity equipment market. We serve a wide range of Fortune 500 customers across markets and industries as well as top-tier utilities and other gridside providers.
We are looking to build relationships with people who share our values:
- Pragmatic Optimism. Building a new category of world-class power generation requires the optimism of ambition and creativity, balanced with practicality to solve problems efficiently. The challenges that arise are opportunities for growth.
- Excellence without Ego. We bring expertise and commitment to creating the best customer experience, from sales to deployment and service, just as we apply deep technical rigor to building and delivering world-class products. We strive for excellence and behave as leaders with the humility to acknowledge our challenges, both collectively and as individual contributors.
- Proactive Collaboration. The integration and cross-disciplinary nature of Mainspring’s business requires intentionally seeking out others who bring different skills, perspectives, and priorities. Our culture of inclusion and respect extends beyond our team to interactions with our partners and customers.
Mainspring is based in Menlo Park and is backed by top-tier venture and strategic investors such as Khosla Ventures, Bill Gates, American Electric Power, and Centrica Innovations. More information can be found at www.mainspringenergy.com.
Responsibilities
Mainspring has a high-impact opportunity to lead a software development team and deliver the applications that interface with a fleet of Linear Generators. Linear Generators are fully automated but connect to a remote cloud interface that displays fleet status, collects data, performs software updates, schedules maintenance, and performs other interactions. There isn’t a thing that does all that, so we’ll be building out and integrating all the pieces to provide our operations team with a fantastic experience interacting with our machines. The manager will need to have domain expertise in software in addition to a passion for leading and growing a high-performance team. Your exceptional development skills sit quietly in reserve to be deployed only in critical moments in order to leverage your skill at leading and inspiring a team of developers.
This is a management role for a cloud application software team. As a leader in the organization, you will:
- Build, maintain, and lead teams of software developers that produce excellent work products and are a joy to work with
- Negotiate requirements for the cloud-based human interface to a fleet of Linear Generators, balancing the cost of data with its value to operations and engineering in maintaining a reliable platform
- Collaborate with TPMs and PMs on planning and requirement definition to prioritize tasks for the team (and company)
- Create feature roadmaps and allocate resources
- Maintain a secure platform (both from intrusion and IP loss)
- Deliberately manage technical debt and balance its future cost against the value of new features to new products
- Use, teach, and expand modern software best practices including guiding the team on appropriate-to-the-moment documentation
- Help the team choose tools to increase productivity
- Participate in team development activities such as retrospectives, daily stand ups, etc.
- Critically, you should enjoy doing these things collaboratively as part of a tightly coupled and highly interactive team
Qualifications
- Proven success delivering great software over multiple product lifecycles to pleased customers and stakeholders
- Passion for and success in hiring and managing teams of engineers
- Able to be an effective/respected individual to fill in gaps in development
The Bay Area salary for this role is $160k-$215k base + pre-IPO stock options + benefits. This position is on-site in Menlo Park, CA. The salary will be adjusted based on the experience of the employee. (#Mogul)
