Senior Staff Engineer - Origination & New Products

Overview

We are rebuilding the energy transaction, making it transparent and fair. Our goal is to put power back where it belongs, in the hands of customers and to take on one of the most critical problems of our century, access to low cost electricity.

Job Description

tem exists to fix a broken global energy market that’s long favoured legacy operators, intermediaries, and opaque pricing. Today’s electricity system was not designed for rapid decarbonisation, AI-driven efficiency or fair access for the actual users - businesses and generators. We’ve built the first AI native transaction infrastructure to reinvent how electricity is bought, sold and priced.

Responsibilities

  • - Own the delivery for new product categories
  • - Lead technically through execution - design, build, and ship alongside the squad, not just direct it.
  • - Translate ambiguous, commercially-driven problems into a shape the squad can deliver against.
  • - Partner with commercial and product stakeholders to keep new-product work tied to real pipeline outcomes.
  • - Mentor the squad's engineers and raise technical standards, without owning their performance or career progression.

Required Skills

  • - Proven technical leadership at Staff or Senior Staff level, with evidence of leading complex, ambiguous initiatives to real business impact - not just technical execution in isolation.
  • - Comfort operating without a spec: able to take a broad, undefined opportunity and shape it into something buildable.
  • - Sound commercial judgement - able to reason about deal risk and revenue impact, not just delivery.
  • - Deep enough platform fluency to integrate against a complex, business-critical system.
  • - Strong written and verbal communication - comfortable being the technical voice in front of commercial stakeholders and, over time, external partners.

Benefits

  • - Competitive salary - our current band for this role is ÂŁ117,850 or equivalent in local currency.
  • - Stock Options - everyone on the team has ownership in our mission.
  • - 25 days holiday + public holidays - Swap public holidays for ones that matter most to you. Plus, get an extra day off for your birthday 🎉.
  • - Remote & flexible working - We’re fully remote with clear core hours, and no internal meetings on Friday afternoons.
  • - Home working & wellbeing budgets: Up to ÂŁ1,200 / €1,200 annually to upgrade your remote setup (co-working passes, equipment, etc.).
  • - Up to ÂŁ150 / €150 monthly on anything that supports your wellbeing - from therapy to gym memberships to meditation apps.
