By advancing science, building technology, and assembling a global coalition, we are catalyzing an international initiative to scale Enhanced Rock Weathering within the next decade, starting in Brazil.\nFounded out of the Stanford University ecosystem, Terradot is led by the world’s leading experts to advance the science and technology of ERW. Our unique structure bridges industry, academia, and government and allows our team to contribute with speed & scale. We have raised $58.2M in total funding from John Doerr, Sheryl Sandberg & Tom Bernthal, George Roberts, Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund, Google, Cisco and Venture Funds, Floodgate, Kleiner Perkins, Acre Venture Partners, Gigascale Capital, Valor Capital, Ponderosa Ventures, and others. We have sold ~300,000 tons in offtakes from leading CDR buyers like Frontier and Google.\nAll qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Research suggests that qualified people from historically marginalized groups may self-select out of opportunities if they don't meet 100% of the job requirements. We encourage individuals who believe they have the skills necessary to thrive to apply for this role.\nAbout the role\nWe are seeking an Engineer Manager/Technical Lead to our São Paulo engineering team. In this role, you will combat climate change by building and enhancing Terradot’s software platform for Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). You’ll partner with scientific, engineering, operational, and commercial teams to translate user needs into intuitive solutions that drive operational excellence and long-term company growth. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role with significant ownership and the opportunity to shape a platform that will enable Terradot to scale ERW deployments, drawing down significant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere and making a substantial impact on climate change.\nWhat you'll do\nEnsure stellar execution and operational excellence.\nCollaborate closely with US-based Product and Engineering leads to build web and mobile software that manages the end-to-end project development workflow at Terradot. \nImmerse yourself in the operational realities of ERW project execution and operations. Partner with the Operations division to create pragmatic, user-centered solutions that bridge the physical/digital divide and accelerate Terradot’s ability to scale.\nShape a culture of sustainable, empathetic, and high-velocity engineering, with a deep focus on cross-team collaboration, documentation, and data-driven decision-making.\nWork hands-on to build features across the mobile and web stack\nCoach and mentor engineers at different levels to maximize their impact and achieve their career goals.\nWhat we are looking for\nAn undergraduate degree in CS or a related field\n8+ years of engineering with 2+ years of engineering management or lead experience\nSolid English skills, both written and verbal. \nHands-on experience in building delightful web products, full-stack from frontend, APIs, to Postgres backend.\nExperience directly interacting with customers and using technology to solve real-world operational problems.\nExperience in recruiting, organizing, and motivating teams; helping people grow in their careers; and managing people.\nFull-stack engineering expertise in React, React Native, Python, SQL. GCP is highly desirable, though another large cloud environment (AWS, Azure, etc.) is a good substitute.\nDesire to learn the intricacies of the science behind Enhanced Rock Weathering and Carbon Credit Accounting.\nPersonal Attributes:\nStrategic thinker who can balance short-term needs with long-term vision.\nHighly collaborative team player, with strong leadership skills and a hands-on approach to problem-solving\nDeep user empathy and the ability to seamlessly navigate and mediate interactions across a wide range of stakeholder backgrounds.\nAbility to manage ambiguity and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment.\nA positive, action-oriented stance with a focus on outcomes.\nAn owner-mindset, someone who is passionate about being in a product-focused environment where everyone cares deeply about the success of the product. \nStrong communication skills, ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.\nLearning agility, the ability to pick up new concepts quickly. \nNice to have:\nExperience scaling startup environments\nBackground in Data Engineering \nDemonstrated passion for streamlining and scaling complex operational workflows.\nAny background in taking action to mitigate the impacts of climate change.\nBackground interaction with \"real world\" fields like science, operations, large-scale project development, etc","description_format":"text","description_chars":4969,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["ESG & Carbon Accounting Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T03:24:13Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.424,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":58,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/terradot-engineering-manager-tech-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/terradot-engineering-manager-tech-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T05:03:54Z","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":5614,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"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":173602},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=173602"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fterradot-engineering-manager-tech-lead"},{"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%2Fterradot-engineering-manager-tech-lead"},{"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%2Fterradot-engineering-manager-tech-lead"},{"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/terradot-engineering-manager-tech-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fterradot-engineering-manager-tech-lead"}]}
