Job Description

VP of Product & Engineering for AGent Energy optimizing distributed generation resources and driving product development. Leading engineering efforts and building innovative solutions in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the product roadmap end-to-end: from customer discovery through prioritization, specification, and delivery
  • Conduct regular customer interviews and work closely with the Sales and Energy Markets teams to identify and prioritize the features and functions that drive the most value
  • Translate customer needs and market requirements into clear, actionable product specs and engineering priorities
  • Build and maintain a structured, transparent roadmap that aligns the full leadership team on what's being built, why, and when
  • Partner with Sales and Customer Operations to ensure new features are communicated, adopted, and driving outcomes for customers
  • Partner with the Sales team to demo the platform to prospects and customers — you are a credible, compelling voice for what AGent has built and where it's going
  • Make crisp prioritization decisions: you know how to say no, and how to explain why
  • Lead, develop, and grow a team of engineers and product managers — people who have worked with you before would follow you anywhere
  • Establish and maintain the engineering cadence: sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, on-time delivery, and accountability
  • Own the technology architecture: ensure AGent's platform is built to scale, secure, and capable of supporting 24/7 mission-critical operations
  • Identify and manage technology outsourcing partnerships that supplement AGent's internal capabilities
  • Make fast, sound build-vs-buy-vs-partner decisions that optimize for speed, cost, and long-term scalability
  • Develop and maintain unit economics for the technology platform (hardware BOM, cloud infrastructure costs, etc.)
  • Bring the operational structure and planning rigor that keeps engineering on schedule and leadership informed
  • Create and maintain tight delivery timelines — and hold the team accountable to them
  • Identify and resolve blockers early; surface risks to the CEO before they become problems
  • Ensure interim solutions and partners are in place wherever needed to support concurrent sales and customer commitments
  • Report regularly to the board and leadership team on technology roadmap, product milestones, and team performance

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience as a VP of Product, VP of Engineering, CTO, or senior technology leadership role at a high-growth technology company
  • Demonstrated product management background — you have built and owned roadmaps, conducted customer discovery, and made prioritization decisions under pressure
  • Proven track record of shipping product on time, managing engineering teams with discipline, and creating operational structure in fast-moving environments
  • Strong system architecture and design instincts: you know how to build platforms that scale
  • Comfortable and confident presenting and demoing the platform externally to prospects, customers, and partners: you can translate technical capability into business value in the room
  • Experience building and leading cross-functional teams of engineers and product managers
  • Exceptional communicator: you can present to a board, interview a customer, and give a junior engineer clear feedback, all in the same day
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, remote, startup environment where self-initiative is essential
  • Deep passion for technology and energy

Benefits:

  • Competitive base salary, performance bonus, and early-stage equity
  • 100% employer-paid Health, Dental, and Vision premiums for full-time employees
  • Two health plan options: traditional plan with FSA, or HDHP with company-funded HSA
  • Basic Term Life Insurance + voluntary insurance options
  • Flexible PTO
  • Fully remote — work from anywhere in the U.S.
  • Direct access to the founding team and real ownership of your work from day one
  • A front-row seat to the energy transition
