About the role

At Gravity, our climate impact depends on building exceptional products that solve real customer problems. We're creating an engineering team where everyone’s contributions directly impact our mission to reduce carbon emissions.

We value an engineering leader who brings broad technical skills and a collaborative mindset to solve meaningful challenges. You'll have significant ownership over all aspects of the engineering org, working closely with cross-functional teams while providing opportunities and support needed to grow the people on the team.

Our engineering culture prioritizes thoughtful, maintainable solutions over short-term fixes. We believe the best technical decisions balance velocity with sustainability, creating systems that scale with our team and mission. You will be a key steward of that culture.

In your first 3 months, you'll:

  • Lead the development of impactful features as an IC from concept to production, with support from your amazing engineering colleagues — this experience will equip you to manage the team

  • Form relationships with each engineer on the team and transition to being their direct manager

  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Climate Strategy teams to shape solutions together

  • Work with a world-class recruiting function to identify, promote, and hire top talent to Gravity

  • Contribute to planning discussions where your voice and perspective will influence our technical direction

  • Learn our customers challenges and deliver meaningful solutions to aid in their climate sustainability efforts

  • Help shape our engineering practices to ensure we’re building a technically strong, inclusive and sustainable foundation

What you'll bring:

  • A track record of managing tight-knit groups to deliver quality software from 0→1 in small, early team environments

  • A mindful and caring approach to addressing customer needs through technology

  • Experience translating business requirements into well-architected systems

  • An ability to understand, inspire, and motivate your colleagues and reports

Our commitment to you:

  • An inclusive culture where your voice will be actively sought and valued

  • Transparent career growth paths with regular feedback and development opportunities

  • Flexible work arrangements that respect your life outside of Gravity

  • Work that directly contributes to addressing climate change

  • Competitive salary, meaningful equity, comprehensive benefits, and flexible PTO

We believe people do their best work when they feel supported, included, and empowered. At Gravity, we're building a team where everyone can thrive while making a meaningful impact on our climate future.
