About the company:

BETA Technologies is creating an electric transportation ecosystem that’s safe, reliable and sustainable. A relentlessly focused team is building an extensive charging infrastructure and ALIA, the world’s most technologically advanced electric vertical aircraft (EVA).

BETA’s platform and products are strikingly simple. Prioritization of safety and a pragmatic approach to certification drive elegant redundancy, appropriate diversity of implementation and simplicity of control. ALIA’s fixed-pitch propellers and centrally located batteries make it an inherently stable aircraft that is safe to fly and easy to maneuver.

At BETA Technologies, we apply our intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.

The Platform Product Team Lead will coordinate our Developer & Cloud Platform team in creating innovative, scalable solutions that empower software teams to deliver solutions more efficiently and securely. This hybrid role combines product ownership and people management, where you'll own the "what and why" of platform products, roadmap development, and team leadership. You'll be spending time on deep customer discovery, ruthless prioritization, and supporting people development. Partnering closely with a team full of technical leaders who own architecture and implementation, you'll create self-serve platform products with robust guard rails that enable software teams to develop and operate tools with autonomy. We're seeking someone who can earn the team's respect through technical credibility while excelling at product sense and people leadership, ultimately delivering comprehensive platform solutions that accelerate software delivery.

Build electric airplanes with us!
