Director of Software Engineering

Fervo Energy is the leading developer of next-generation geothermal power. We design, build, own, and operate geothermal wellfields, pipelines, power plants, and transmission assets — delivering firm, flexible clean power to utilities and hyperscalers. As we scale our fleet of projects, we are building the digital infrastructure to match: a robust Azure-based data platform that unifies real-time operational data with back-office systems, and an enterprise application layer that puts that data to work.

Position Description

Fervo is hiring a Director of Software Engineering to build and lead the software organization responsible for our internal application layer. Reporting directly to the CTO, this leader will own the architecture, roadmap, and delivery model for software products that support Fervo’s rapidly scaling business.

This is an opportunity to build production software at the intersection of energy infrastructure, industrial operations, data, and AI. The systems you build will help teams across Fervo improve workflows, connect information, and make more informed decisions as the company grows.

The ideal candidate is both an engineering leader and a product-minded builder: someone who can work closely with internal stakeholders, understand complex business and operational needs, and lead a team that ships durable, high-impact software.
