Lead Software Engineer

Lead Software Engineer — Build the Platform That Powers Real-World Impact

If you're bored shipping yet another internal tool no one actually uses, here’s your escape hatch: come build the software that drives real machines, real customers, and real clean-energy outcomes.

Qnergy’s Dashboard platform powers the monitoring, performance insights, and operational intelligence behind our methane-abatement systems. In other words—your code won’t be sitting in a corner. It’ll be out in the world doing something that matters.

We’re looking for a Lead Software Engineer who loves owning the technical direction and leveling up the team around them. If you want a role where you get to architect, mentor, ship product, and set the tone for how great engineering should feel—this is it.

What You’ll Own

- Drive the architecture, quality, and maintainability of Qnergy’s Dashboard web app.

- Lead sprint planning, backlog grooming, and technical design reviews that actually move work forward.

- Mentor and coach junior engineers—code reviews, pairing, and real growth, not gatekeeping.

- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with product, firmware, and infrastructure to keep priorities aligned.

- Champion and evolve our engineering practices: CI/CD, testing, documentation, the whole ecosystem.

- Onboard new engineers and help shape the culture of the software team.

- Communicate risks, wins, and direction directly with the Director of IT & Software.

- Stay hands-on with development while keeping an eye on emerging tools and frameworks.

What You Bring

- 5+ years of experience building modern web applications.

- Strong experience with tech like React, Node.js, and related stacks.

- Comfortable leading projects and mentoring engineers.

- Solid foundation in system design, performance optimization, and clean code practices.

- Experience in fast-moving, cross-functional environments.

- Bonus: exposure to industrial, IoT, or embedded/hardware-adjacent products.

- Excellent communicator who’s not afraid to simplify the complex.

- Familiarity with Agile methodologies.

- Understanding of APIs and integrations across firmware/hardware systems.

Work Environment

- Standard office setting: extended computer use, seated work, multitasking across projects.

- Heavy focus on digital collaboration, documentation, and cross-team communication.
