Descrição da oferta de emprego

We are seeking an Lead Tech Manager to grow and expand our São Paulo engineering team. In this role, you will combat climate change by building and enhancing Terradot’s software platform for Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). You’ll help hire and lead a team to build systems that streamline and scale the core workflows behind ERW. You’ll partner with scientific, engineering, operational, and commercial teams to translate user needs into intuitive solutions that drive operational excellence and long-term company growth. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role with significant ownership and the opportunity to shape a platform that will enable Terradot to scale ERW deployments, drawing down significant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere and making a substantial impact on climate change.

Role Responsibilities:

• Recruit, hire, and lead a team of 3-5 high-performing engineers.
• Ensure stellar execution and operational excellence.
• Collaborate closely with US-based Product and Engineering leads to build web and mobile software that manages the end-to-end project development workflow at Terradot.
• Immerse yourself in the operational realities of ERW project execution and operations. Partner with the Operations division to create pragmatic, user-centered solutions that bridge the physical/digital divide and accelerate Terradot’s ability to scale.
• Shape a culture of sustainable, empathetic, and high-velocity engineering, with a deep focus on cross-team collaboration, documentation, and data-driven decision-making.
• Work hands-on to build features across the mobile and web stack.
• Coach and mentor engineers at different levels to maximize their impact and achieve their career goals.

Background and Requirements:

• An undergraduate degree in CS or a related field.
• Engineering with 2+ years of engineering management or lead experience.
• English skills, both written and verbal.
• Hands‑on experience in building delightful web products, full‑stack from frontend, APIs, to Postgres backend.
• Experience directly interacting with customers and using technology to solve real‑world operational problems.
• Experience in recruiting, organizing, and motivating teams; helping people grow in their careers; and managing people.
• Full‑stack engineering expertise in React, React Native, Python, SQL. GCP is highly desirable, though another large cloud environment (AWS, Azure, etc.) is a good substitute.
• Desire to learn the intricacies of the science behind Enhanced Rock Weathering and Carbon Credit Accounting.

Personal Attributes:

• Strategic thinker who can balance short-term needs with long-term vision.
• Highly collaborative team player, with strong leadership skills and a hands‑on approach to problem-solving.
• Deep user empathy and the ability to seamlessly navigate and mediate interactions across a wide range of stakeholder backgrounds.
• Ability to manage ambiguity and prioritize effectively in a fast‑paced environment.
• A positive, action‑oriented stance with a focus on outcomes.
• An owner‑mindset, someone who is passionate about being in a product‑focused environment where everyone cares deeply about the success of the product.
• Strong communication skills, ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Learning agility, the ability to pick up new concepts quickly.
