Remora is hiring a VP of Engineering who will build and manage teams responsible for every aspect of hardware and software engineering at Remora. As a member of the Executive Team, the VP of Engineering will help shape and execute on the company’s technical strategy, all while helping to tackle the defining challenge of our time.

We’re a 75-person climate tech startup based in Detroit, MI. We're building a device that captures a semi-truck’s carbon emissions directly from the tailpipe. We'll sell the CO2 to end-users, and share that revenue with our customers, so our device will create a new revenue stream while reducing their emissions.

We've signed up some of the largest companies in the world to pilot our technology, including iconic multibillion-dollar brands, top trucking companies, and some of the most recognizable Fortune 100 companies. We’ve raised multiple rounds of funding from top investors like Lowercarbon Capital, Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and Valor Equity Partners.

Responsibilities:

• Helping to set the strategy and roadmap for our technology development

• Helping to solve new technology challenges and iterating quickly on existing solutions

• Creating and communicating well-defined goals, metrics, and timelines, and reporting to all stakeholders across the company on progress toward those goals.

• Headcount planning, organization design, and hiring across the engineering team

• Mentoring and growing members of the engineering team

• Introducing and managing key tools and technologies

• Building and managing key supplier relationships for long-term strategic goals

• Building a flexible, fast-moving, inclusive engineering culture with strong communication, ownership, and teamwork.
