**Data, Streaming & Analytics**

• Oversee large-scale telemetry ingestion via highly available MQTT brokers handling **6+ billion messages per day**.
• Guide streaming pipelines using **Apache Pulsar and data storage across DynamoDB and Google BigQuery**.
• Enable high-fidelity time-series analytics, machine learning, and forecasting at scale.
• Ensure robust handling of offline data replay and reconciliation.

**Collaboration with Hardware & Firmware**

• Work closely with hardware and firmware engineering teams to:
• * Define clear cloud–device interfaces and contracts.
• Enable new device capabilities through cloud services and control systems.
• Support OTA workflows, diagnostics, and remote configuration.
• Ensure cloud platforms fully support the **Home 3 Pro** product lifecycle, from installation through long-term operation.
• Partner to reduce field failures and warranty costs through remote diagnostics and automation (Watson).

**Applications & Customer Experience**

• Oversee backend systems supporting the Hypervolt mobile app and **Ultra Mode**.
• Ensure real-time changes and device controls sync seamlessly with customer-facing applications.
• Support operational tooling and customer support workflows through Watson.

**Reliability, Scale & Operations**

• Own cloud platform reliability, uptime, observability, and incident response.
• Drive best practices in testing, monitoring, and resilience.
• Balance rapid product delivery with long-term platform health and technical debt management.

**People, Culture & Organisation**

• Build, mentor, and retain high-performing engineering leaders and teams.
• Foster a culture of ownership, pragmatism, and customer focus.
• Act as a senior technical leader and trusted partner across the business.

**Skills & Experience**

**Essential**

• Senior engineering leadership experience (Director / VP level) in cloud and platform engineering.
• Strong background in distributed systems and AWS-based architectures.
• Experience operating real-time, event-driven systems at significant scale.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with hardware and firmware teams.
• Track record of building and scaling engineering organisations.
• Strong technical judgment and delivery focus.

**Highly Desirable**

• Experience with IoT, connected devices, or edge-to-cloud systems.
• Experience with telemetry, time-series data, or control systems.
• Familiarity with energy, EV charging, or grid-connected platforms.
• Exposure to ML and analytics platforms at scale.

**What Success Looks Like**

• Cloud platforms reliably enable and extend device capability.
• UltraGrid scales efficiently at massive data volumes with low latency.
• Hardware, firmware, and cloud teams operate as a cohesive system.
• New features move quickly from device capability to customer value.
• Engineering delivery is predictable, resilient, and high quality.

**What We Offer**

• A senior leadership role at the centre of Hypervolt’s platform strategy.
• Ownership of cloud systems operating at real-world, grid scale.
• Close partnership with the CTO and senior leadership team.
• The opportunity to build infrastructure that shapes the future of energy.
