Lead cross-functional product teams focused on leveraging AI and satellite imagery to enhance electric utility systems and promote climate resilience.
The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time—but it’s also the greatest opportunity for innovation, and a challenge we’re proud to take on. At Overstory, we’re harnessing cutting-edge technology to enable a resilient electrical grid that keeps communities thriving as our world changes.
The 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.
One of the leading causes of catastrophic wildfires and power outages? Trees and brush coming into contact with power lines.
That’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.
Our 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—15 nationalities strong and growing. 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.
Join us to help us build a more resilient world together.
As an Engineering Manager, you will lead across several product teams managing up to 10 engineers (including Tech Leads).
Our product teams are cross functional and will typically include: product managers, designers, engineers, data scientists and subject matter experts relating to the teams domain.
You will be accountable for the technical and delivery outcomes of your area. You will challenge your teams to achieve ambition goals whilst providing a high level of support through growing engineering talent and creating a highly collaborative team based environment where people can do great work.
Your primary focus will be on creating high performing teams and driving results through others. You will not be expected to spend significant amounts of time doing hands-on coding, however, you will be expected to dive deep technically when required and leverage your extensive experience as an engineer to drive good technical decisions and solutions.
Time zone requirement: Europe (GMT/WET, CET, EET) and Eastern North America (NST, AST, EST)
If you don’t meet all of the above yet feel you have lots to offer, please apply anyway.
We are a group of 100 people from all over the world. Fifteen nationalities are represented in our team.

We place enormous value on diversity and inclusion and strive to continually bring in people of all genders, races, creeds, ethnicities, abilities and backgrounds. We believe that the best ideas emerge when people with different perspectives and approaches work together on a problem.
We’re always looking to diversify our team further, but we’re proud of the fact that four out of the nine people on our leadership team are female, 46% of the overall team are female and 20% of the team are people of color.

We act with urgency.
We recognize that change is constant, and we find joy and power in exploration.
Just as ecosystems need biodiversity to thrive, our resiliency comes from our differences.
We love the power of machines but we nurture each other as humans.
We assume the best in everyone, and we share ideas openly so that we have a positive impact.
