Renew Home is a company dedicated to transforming residential energy usage through innovative virtual power plant technology. By partnering with leading brands like Google Nest, Renew Home integrates energy-smart features into everyday devices such as thermostats and water heaters. The company aims to support the clean energy transition by creating the world's largest residential virtual power plant, allowing households to optimize energy usage and respond to the needs of the electrical grid. Renew Home focuses on making energy savings easy and accessible, helping millions of households become more energy-efficient and sustainable without sacrificing comfort.

📋 Description

• You'll lead the Infrastructure team — a group of 5-8 engineers responsible for the foundation everything else at Renew Home runs on. • The team owns cloud accounts, networking, security, CI/CD, deployment tooling, observability, and the developer experience that surrounds all of it. • Other engineering teams build on top of what your team provides — your team's leverage shows up in how fast the rest of the company can ship. • This is a hands-on engineering manager role. You'll spend most of your time on people, planning, and cross-team alignment, but you should be technical enough to debate architecture, review a tricky design doc, and sense when a project is in trouble before it lands on your desk.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years managing infrastructure, platform, SRE, or DevOps teams, with prior IC experience in one of those disciplines. • Track record of running an on-call rotation — maintain clear ownership, useful runbooks, alerts that mean something. • Experience hiring and growing senior engineers, including giving direct feedback and managing performance honestly. • Strong production cloud experience, with real depth in at least one major hyperscaler provider (AWS/GCP/Azure). • Strong experience in CI/CD, and identity & access. • Demonstrated ability to set roadmap priorities under pressure, including saying no and sequencing deferred work. • Comfortable operating across teams: partnering with product engineering leads, operations, and finance without losing the thread. • Bonuses: • - Background managing or working closely with security engineers — shaping a security program, not just shipping point fixes. • - Multi-cloud experience. • - Experience scaling a platform team through company growth (10 → 30 → 100+ engineers served). • - Background in energy, utilities, IoT, or other regulated / SLO-sensitive domains. • - Fluency with AI-assisted development tools and a perspective on how to roll them out across a platform team thoughtfully.

🏖️ Benefits

• Fully remote work environment with home office set-up allowance. • Real and lived work-life balance - Company perks include no pre-set vacation limits (with a top-down culture of taking meaningful PTO every year!), parental leave benefits, and a corporate value of working sustainably and putting families first. • Competitive benefits package that includes numerous health and wellness benefits. • 401(k) plan, with employer contributions to the same. • Opportunity to work with amazing people who are passionate about their mission, thriving in a fully-remote work environment, and learning and growing every day.
