Today’s electricity system was not designed for rapid decarbonisation, AI-driven efficiency or fair access for the actual users - businesses and generators.\nWe’ve built the first AI native transaction infrastructure to reinvent how electricity is bought, sold and priced. Our technology is designed to cut out the inefficient fees, automate complex market flows, and bring transparency and fairness to energy transactions at scale.\nIn late 2025, after extraordinary growth, we closed a $75 million Series B - led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from Albion, Atomico, Allianz, Hitachi Ventures, Hitachi Ventures, Schroders Capital and others - positioning us for global expansion, deeper product innovation and category leadership.\nWe’re scaling internationally and building toward a future where AI-driven infrastructure is foundational to electricity markets worldwide.\nSince launch, our modern utility product, known as RED, has already facilitated thousands of business customers and billions in energy transaction value, proving that modern software and AI can transform an industry built on legacy systems.\nAt tem, we’re not just building another energy company, we’re rearchitecting market infrastructure so that transparency, efficiency and sustainability become the default, not the exception.\nThe Role:\nWe're hiring a Senior Staff Software Engineer for Origination & New Products.\nThis is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a people-management one. You'll lead the Origination & New Products squad through ambiguous, no-precedent build work - deep Rosso integration, pricing capability, and deal-gating risk tooling. You won't own hiring, performance, or comp for anyone in the squad; you'll lead through technical direction, judgement, and execution.\nYour squad is where you'll do the work, but it's not where your impact stops. You're accountable for outcomes that reach across the Sell team - other squads working against the same origination targets, the Engineering Manager's roadmap, and the broader engineering culture at tem. Success here looks like other squads building faster because of patterns and standards you set, not just your own squad shipping on time.\nBeyond the squad, you'll be a strategic partner to the Engineering Manager, turning company-level targets into engineering outcomes - starting with growing origination volume through new products over the first 12 months, and later supporting the team as Sell Side expands internationally.\nYou'll lead a new three person squad to help you deliver your goals.\nYou will:\nOwn the delivery for new product categories\n\nLead technically through execution - design, build, and ship alongside the squad, not just direct it.\n\nTranslate ambiguous, commercially-driven problems into a shape the squad can deliver against.\n\nPartner with commercial and product stakeholders to keep new-product work tied to real pipeline outcomes.\n\nMentor the squad's engineers and raise technical standards, without owning their performance or career progression.\n\nSet technical direction and standards that other squads in Sell adopt - your influence is measured beyond your own team's delivery.\n\nYou will report into the Engineering Manager, Sell Side.\nResponsibilities:\nLead through execution\nDrive the Origination & New Products squad's technical direction on deep integrations with other internal services\n\nStay hands-on: design, build, and review the hardest parts of the new-product build sequence yourself.\n\nTake a company target (\"grow origination volume through new products\") and break it into a sequenced, deliverable plan without needing to be told how.\n\nBuild for ambiguity and risk\nDesign systems for categories that don't exist yet at tem - Unlocking TWh’s of new pipeline - where the spec is being written as you go.\n\nMake judgement calls on commercial risk in deal-gating tooling, not just deliver what's asked.\n\nPrevent domain drift as new product categories are added, keeping shared language and clear boundaries.\n\nPartner beyond the squad\nWork directly with the Engineering Manager and commercial stakeholders to keep new-product delivery tied to origination pipeline outcomes, not just shipped features.\n\nBe a reference point for other squads across Sell facing similar Rosso integration, pricing, or risk-tooling problems - your judgement should raise the bar beyond your own team.\n\nContribute to engineering standards and practice that outlast this squad - patterns, conventions, and technical decisions other engineers in Sell (and beyond) will build on.\n\nAs Sell Side expands internationally, represent the technical view in conversations with new-market stakeholders and partners.\n\nMentor engineers in the squad and raise engineering standards, while staying on the individual-contributor track.\n\nRequirements:\nMust haves\nProven technical leadership at Staff or Senior Staff level, with evidence of leading complex, ambiguous initiatives to real business impact - not just technical execution in isolation.\n\nComfort operating without a spec: able to take a broad, undefined opportunity and shape it into something buildable.\n\nSound commercial judgement - able to reason about deal risk and revenue impact, not just delivery.\n\nDeep enough platform fluency to integrate against a complex, business-critical system\n\nTrack record leading a squad or team technically through direction and mentorship, without necessarily holding formal people-management responsibility.\n\nEvidence of influence beyond your immediate team - raising technical standards, unblocking other teams, or shaping practice that other engineers adopted.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication - comfortable being the technical voice in front of commercial stakeholders and, over time, external partners.\n\nComfortable in our core stack: Python, AWS serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EventBridge), and event-driven architectures - the same stack Rosso and the rest of Sell Side build on.\n\nBonus points\nExperience in energy, fintech, or another regulated, high-stakes commercial domain.\n\nExperience taking a product or company into a new international market.\n\nExposure to workflow orchestration, event-driven systems, or real-time pricing engines.\n\nExperience originating new product lines from scratch rather than only scaling existing ones.\n\nBenefits & Perks:\nCompetitive salar y - our current band for this role is £117,850 or equivalent in local currency.\nWe pay against a clear benchmark for your role and level. No fixed once- or twice-a-year cycle - pay moves when the evidence for it does.\n\nStock Options - everyone on the team has ownership in our mission.\n\n25 days holiday + public holidays - Swap public holidays for ones that matter most to you. Plus, get an extra day off for your birthday .\n\nRemote & flexible working - We’re fully remote with clear core hours, and no internal meetings on Friday afternoons.\n\nHome working & wellbeing budgets:\nUp to £1,200 / €1,200 annually to upgrade your remote setup (co-working passes, equipment, etc.).\n\nUp to £150 / €150 monthly on anything that supports your wellbeing - from therapy to gym memberships to meditation apps.\n\nInterview Process:\nOur processes normally take around 2-3 weeks from first call to offer - please let us know about any adjustments to timelines that may be required.\nFirst call with our Talent Team (30 Mins). This is to understand your experience, motivations, and discuss the role in more detail.\n\nBehaviour Interview with our Engineering Managers (60 Mins). This is your chance to really understand the role, the expectations, and ensure alignment on ways of working.\n\nTechnical Interview with the Team (75 Mins). You’ll meet with potential peers in this session and will discuss technical topics and experiences.\n\nBar Raiser Interview with Stakeholders (45 Mins). The final session will be with two cross-functional stakeholders, and will explore how your values align with ours, and is designed to be a genuine two-way conversation, your chance to understand what it’s really like to work at tem.\n\nWe welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and identities, including those that are traditionally underrepresented in the tech and energy sectors. If you’re excited about this role but not sure you meet every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you. Your unique perspective could be exactly what we’re looking for.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8788,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Gym membership","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Grid","Energy Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-16T13:03:37Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-16T06:21:30+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":24,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.675,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":91,"expected_fill_days":58,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":155974,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tem-senior-staff-full-stack-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tem-senior-staff-full-stack-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T03:04:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4094,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":580},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=580"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftem-senior-staff-full-stack-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftem-senior-staff-full-stack-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftem-senior-staff-full-stack-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tem-senior-staff-full-stack-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftem-senior-staff-full-stack-engineer"}]}
