Job description

The Role

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will own Amper’s engineering strategy and execution. You will lead and grow a team of engineers, establish practices and systems that enable rapid, reliable delivery, and ensure the technical foundation of our platform can scale with our ambitions. This is a hands‑on leadership role where you’ll make critical architectural decisions, drive velocity, and create an environment where engineers can thrive.

Location

While Amper supports remote work, this senior leadership role benefits from in‑person collaboration. We have a preference for candidates located in or near Seattle, San Francisco, or Chicago, but this is not a requirement. US‑based only.

What You’ll Do

Technical Strategy & Architecture

  • Define and drive the long‑term technical strategy to ensure scalability, reliability, and performance.
  • Oversee architecture across the stack, including AI / ML systems, APIs, integrations, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Implement practices and tools that allow us to move quickly while maintaining quality and security.

Engineering Leadership & Scale

  • Lead, mentor, and grow our engineering team (currently five engineers, with significant growth planned over the next 12–24 months).
  • Build and maintain a strong engineering culture grounded in accountability, innovation, and velocity.
  • Establish clear processes for technical delivery, sprint planning, and cross‑team alignment.
  • Ensure engineering teams are set up to deliver high‑quality, customer‑facing products on time and at scale.
  • Execution & Delivery

  • Oversee technical execution across multiple initiatives, ensuring alignment with company priorities.
  • Drive operational excellence in software development, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Partner closely with Product, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure we deliver features that solve real problems and create measurable value for customers.
  • Who You Are

  • 10+ years in engineering leadership, with recent experience as the senior engineering leader (VP, CTO, or equivalent) responsible for engineering strategy, scaling teams, and supporting meaningful product and business growth.
  • Must have experience building and scaling B2B SaaS platforms; IoT experience is a plus.
  • Track record of taking early‑stage products to scale, ideally across both technical and organizational dimensions.
  • Deep technical expertise in cloud architecture, APIs, real‑time data, and ideally IoT or AI / ML systems.
  • Skilled at building high‑performing teams and creating environments where engineers do their best work.
  • Strong communicator who can simplify technical complexity and align stakeholders across the company.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and making decisions with imperfect information.
  • A leader who drives execution by rolling up your sleeves when necessary.
  • Bonus if you have

  • Background in manufacturing, industrial tech, or operations‑heavy products.
  • Experience building AI‑native platforms.
  • Compensation & Benefits

    The range of annual base salary for full‑time employees for this position is $225,000-275,000 , with additional incentive potential of $45,000-$55,000 at plan. Pay offered will vary depending on factors including location, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience. Amper provides a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), unlimited paid time off, and early‑stage stock option equity.
