Join a pioneering team redefining industrial operations through AI, where you'll lead the development of real-time systems deployed in live mining environments. As Engineering Manager, you’ll play a central role in building the engineering function from the start—shaping technical direction, defining standards, and growing a high-performing team of backend, full-stack, and AI/ML engineers.
Leadership & Team Development
You’ll recruit and grow a distributed team of engineers, drawing from your network and proven ability to attract top-tier talent. Your leadership will emphasize ownership, technical excellence, and trust, fostering a remote-first culture where autonomy and clear communication drive results. You’ll mentor individuals, raise performance standards, and build a team where engineers want to work together again.
Technical Direction & Execution
With hands-on experience writing scalable production code, you’ll maintain technical credibility while guiding system design, architecture, and deployment. You’ll own end-to-end delivery—from sprint planning to production rollouts in active mines—ensuring robustness, security, and speed. Your expertise across backend services, APIs, infrastructure, and AI/ML will enable you to collaborate deeply with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
Engineering Culture & Process
You’ll establish engineering practices rooted in code quality, automated testing, and continuous delivery. Your approach will balance pragmatism and vision—managing technical debt, avoiding premature optimization, and aligning strong technical opinions through diplomacy. Experience with agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor is essential, as is a mindset that treats AI as a core development partner.
Mission & Impact
You’ll work directly with operators, product teams, and the CEO to turn real-world mining challenges into scalable technical solutions. Whether optimizing froth flotation, analyzing longwall shearer performance, or interpreting MSHA citation patterns, your work will directly improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability in industrial operations. If you’re energized by building from zero, leading through ambiguity, and shipping impactful technology daily, this role offers the chance to define what world-class engineering looks like in a mission-driven AI company.
