🏢 About STABL Energy

STABL Energy is pioneering sustainable battery storage technology that extends battery lifespan while reducing CO2 emissions, directly addressing climate change through innovative energy solutions. As a mission-driven company, they combine cutting-edge technology with environmental impact, offering the chance to work on meaningful problems in the renewable energy sector from a remote-first environment.

About This Role

As Head of Cloud, you'll lead the architecture and operations of STABL Energy's cloud platform, managing IoT device fleets and high-performance data pipelines that power their battery optimization systems. This role directly impacts product reliability and scalability while ensuring security compliance in a fast-growing startup environment where technical decisions drive business outcomes.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing cloud platform metrics and IoT device fleet status, collaborating with product teams on feature requirements, designing scalable data pipeline improvements, and mentoring team members on best practices. You might troubleshoot a time-series database performance issue, plan security compliance updates, and coordinate with stakeholders about technical decisions affecting business priorities.

🎯 Who STABL Energy Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years leading cloud teams in startup/product environments with hands-on AWS experience (IoT Core, Kinesis, Lambda)
  • Demonstrates expertise in building scalable data pipelines and managing time-series data with PostgreSQL in production systems
  • Possesses strong programming skills in TypeScript and Python with infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform)
  • Can balance technical leadership with stakeholder coordination across teams to align cloud strategy with business priorities

📝 Tips for Applying to STABL Energy

1

Highlight specific examples of scaling cloud platforms for IoT/edge device management, not just general cloud experience

2

Quantify your impact on cost efficiency, reliability improvements, or security compliance in previous cloud leadership roles

3

Demonstrate understanding of battery storage or renewable energy sector challenges in your application materials

4

Showcase both technical depth (AWS services, data pipelines) and leadership experience (team growth planning, stakeholder coordination)

5

Tailor your resume to emphasize TypeScript/Python projects and PostgreSQL time-series data experience relevant to energy monitoring systems

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your experience building and scaling cloud platforms specifically for IoT/edge device management systems', "How you've implemented security/compliance requirements in regulated or energy-related environments", 'Examples of coordinating technical decisions with business stakeholders in fast-moving product companies', 'Your approach to balancing cloud operations, observability, and cost efficiency in growing startups']
