Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back.

What you'll do

• Own a domain of Redwood OS end to end: shape the problem with the business, design it, ship it, and operate it in production.

• Turn ambiguous business asks into clear specifications that engineers and AI: agents can execute without further interpretation.

• Make tradeoff-aware design decisions across service boundaries, data models,: APIs, integrations, observability, and access control.

• Set the bar in code review: use AI effectively by decomposing work for agents, setting guardrails, verifying output at volume, and staying accountable for everything you ship.

• Keep the platform coherent as multiple engineers and agents change it in parallel.

• Debug and resolve production issues, and improve the reliability of the systems you own.

What they're looking for

• Raise the output of everyone around you through documentation, conventions, tooling, and mentoring.
• Work directly with stakeholders on-site 3 days/week: floor walks, operator observation, pairing sessions, and demos.
• + years of software engineering experience, including technical leadership of a significant system or domain.
• A track record of owning a problem space end to end with minimal direction.
