At Overstory, we’re harnessing cutting-edge technology to enable a resilient electrical grid that keeps communities thriving as our world changes.\nThe grid is the backbone of life as we know it. It powers hospitals, keeps food fresh, and ensures communities stay connected. But extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and growing wildfire risks are putting this critical system under pressure. All of this combined makes the electric utility industry the greatest opportunity for tackling climate change. \nOne of the leading causes of catastrophic wildfires and power outages? Trees and brush coming into contact with power lines. \nThat’s where we help. At Overstory, we use AI and advanced satellite imagery to pinpoint and prioritize vegetation risks before they materialize. By giving utilities critical analysis on those risks, we’re helping prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks, and accelerate the transition to a safer, more resilient grid.\nOur team spans the Americas and Europe, and we work with utility partners across the Americas and beyond. We’re outdoor enthusiasts, musicians, artists, athletes, parents, and adventurers. What unites us is a passion for solving complex problems, a commitment to climate action, and the belief that technology should be a force for good.\nJoin us to help us build a more resilient world together. \nRole & Team\nAs an ML Engineering Manager, you will lead across several cross-functional teams, managing up to ~10 machine learning engineers and data scientists. You will support teams working on data- and machine-learning-driven product capabilities.\nOur product teams are cross functional and will typically include product managers, designers, engineers and subject matter experts relating to the team’s domain.\nYou will be accountable for the technical direction and delivery outcomes of your area. You will challenge your teams to pursue ambitious goals while providing a high level of support - growing engineering talent and fostering a highly collaborative, team-based environment where people can do great work.\nYour primary focus will be on building high-performing teams and driving results through others. You will not be expected to spend significant time doing hands-on coding; however, you will be expected to dive deep technically when required and leverage your experience to support strong technical decision-making.\nTime zone requirement: Europe (GMT/WET, CET, EET) and Eastern North America (NST, AST, EST)\nWhat You'll Do\nEnable our Machine Learning and data teams to operate as highly productive, cross-functional teams delivering high-quality ML-driven capabilities\nSupport teams working with satellite imagery and geospatial datasets, balancing experimentation, iteration, and ongoing improvement of existing solutions\nGrow the teams by attracting and hiring great Data and ML talent\nFoster an inclusive, supportive, and caring culture where everyone can do their best work\nProvide regular 1:1 coaching and feedback to help others thrive, grow, and reach their aspirations\nAct as a strategic partner to Product Managers within your domains, ensuring technical decisions balance short- and long-term goals\nEnsure the technical approaches within your domains support future product and modelling needs\nWork closely with other Product, Design and Engineering leaders on strategy, technology, and people\nHelp evolve Data and ML practices and introduce ways of working that improve collaboration, delivery, and learning\nSkills & Experience\n8+ years of professional experience building ML- or data-driven systems, at least 3 years’ experience leading and managing ML or data-focused teams\nPassionate about climate and the role technology can play in addressing environmental challenges\nExperience working in a high-growth scale-up or startup environment\nProduct-minded, with the ability to demonstrate meaningful business impact through technology\nSufficient technical depth in machine learning, data systems, or applied ML to guide teams and challenge decisions\nExperience working with python-based ML or data workflows and collaborating closely with data scientists\nStrong leadership skills, with a coaching mindset and the ability to support engineers and data scientists at all levels\nExcellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional environments\nPassion for learning and staying current with evolving technologies and industry trend\nNice To Have\nEngineering mindset or background, with experience applying software engineering best practices to data and ML systems (e.g., reproducibility, testing, monitoring, and production deployments)\nNote: We believe that all people are capable of great things. We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the requirements that are listed within this job description.\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive, location-specific compensation and benefits \nFlexible, autonomous and collaborative working environment rooted in trust - we build our work days around our lives, not the other way around\nHome office stipend, coworking and ongoing education budgets \nA company culture that genuinely embodies each of our core values\nTo be part of truly mission-driven work that reduces wildfires, protects earth’s natural resources and helps solve our climate crisis\nAbout Our Team\nWe are a fast-growing team of about 100 people from all over the world.
