Description
📈 Who We Are:
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.
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. Our technology is designed to cut out the inefficient fees, automate complex market flows, and bring transparency and fairness to energy transactions at scale.
In late 2025, after extraordinary growth, we closed a $75 million Series B - led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from Albion, Atomico, Allianz, Hitachi Ventures, Hitachi Ventures, Schroders Capital and others - positioning us for global expansion, deeper product innovation and category leadership.
We’re scaling internationally and building toward a future where AI-driven infrastructure is foundational to electricity markets worldwide.
Since launch, our modern utility product, known as RED, has already facilitated thousands of business customers and billions in energy transaction value, proving that modern software and AI can transform an industry built on legacy systems.
At tem, we’re not just building another energy company, we’re rearchitecting market infrastructure so that transparency, efficiency and sustainability become the default, not the exception.
🏅 THE ROLE:
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Developer Experience and DevOps teams and create the conditions for high performance across both. You'll shape how we operate, bringing clarity, alignment, and energy to two teams of Staff and Senior Engineers, and to how the rest of Engineering experiences the tools, systems, and workflows that let them do their best work.
This role leans towards DevEx more than DevOps. Our DevOps foundations are already strong, so the bigger opportunity here is sharpening the day-to-day experience of the engineers who rely on them - build times, tooling, local dev setup, CI/CD friction, the things that quietly speed up or slow down every engineer on the team.
You won't need deep specialist knowledge of either domain on day one. What matters more is that you've been on the other side of this work - a backend software engineer who has felt the difference between good and bad platform tooling, and who knows instinctively what removes friction for engineers versus what just adds process.
In your first 12 months, success looks like this: engineers across the business notice DevEx has got tangibly better, you've built trust and a strong bar across both teams, and you've helped them grow without adding unnecessary process on top of an already solid DevOps base.
🚀 RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Build and grow high-performing teams: Lead hiring, onboarding, performance, and progression across both the DevEx and DevOps teams - creating an environment where Staff and Senior Engineers feel supported, challenged, and set up to succeed.
- Drive delivery through clarity and alignment: Help both teams prioritise, stay focused, and move quickly. You'll create structure without over-engineering, ensuring everyone knows what matters and how to execute on it.
- Champion developer experience: Understand what actually enables engineers to do great work, and use that to guide where DevEx effort goes. This is the area with the most headroom, and where you'll spend the most attention.
- Support technical direction: Partner with your Staff and Senior Engineers to guide decision-making, uphold quality, and drive continuous improvement, without stepping on their autonomy or trying to out-expert them
