Chief Technology Officer

About this position
About Us and Why We’re Hiring

Terra Energy is redefining the future of energy infrastructure. We build, own, and operate residential solar and battery systems across Texas and Florida, creating a foundation for innovative technologies that extend beyond renewable energy. Our next step is to transform these distributed energy assets into a powerful compute network by integrating GPU-powered infrastructure, enabling homes to generate both clean energy and computing capacity.

This unique approach positions Terra at the intersection of clean energy, AI infrastructure, and distributed computing.

We're seeking a visionary Chief Technology Officer to lead this transformation by overseeing our engineering organization and driving the development of our hardware, cloud infrastructure, distributed compute platform, and internal software ecosystem. The ideal candidate is a hands‑on technology leader with deep experience in infrastructure, servers, multi‑GPU environments, and scaling complex engineering initiatives. Blockchain experience is a plus, but our priority is finding someone who can build and execute a long‑term technology strategy while leading high‑performing teams in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment.

As Chief Technology Officer, you will lead Terra Energy’s technology strategy and engineering organization, driving the development of innovative solutions across distributed computing, cloud infrastructure, hardware systems, and enterprise software. You’ll oversee the design and execution of a distributed compute network powered by multi‑GPU servers and PCs, ensuring scalable, secure, and reliable infrastructure while guiding multiple engineering teams toward a shared vision.

This is a highly strategic and hands‑on leadership role for someone who thrives in building technology from the ground up. You’ll work closely with executive leadership to define technical priorities, scale engineering capabilities, modernize internal platforms, and deliver products that support Terra’s long‑term growth. While experience with blockchain technologies is a plus, we’re primarily looking for a technology leader with deep expertise in infrastructure, hardware, cloud computing, and leading high‑performing engineering organizations.

• Lead Terra Energy’s engineering organization, providing technical direction, mentorship, and strategic leadership across multiple engineering teams.
• Define and execute the technology roadmap for our distributed compute platform, leveraging servers, PCs, and multi‑GPU infrastructure to create scalable computing capacity.
• Oversee the architecture, deployment, and optimization of cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and enterprise software solutions.
• Drive the integration of hardware and software to ensure reliable, secure, and high‑performing compute infrastructure across distributed locations.
• Partner closely with executive leadership to align technology initiatives with business objectives and long‑term company growth.
• Guide technical architecture decisions, conduct design and code reviews when appropriate, and foster engineering best practices.
• Evaluate, implement, and optimize internal software platforms, including systems supporting finance, operations, customer experience, and business processes.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency through automation, AI, and emerging technologies.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to deliver scalable, secure, and innovative technology solutions.
• Build and scale a high‑performing engineering organization capable of executing multiple complex initiatives simultaneously.
• Stay informed on advancements in distributed computing, AI infrastructure, cloud technologies, and hardware to ensure Terra remains at the forefront of innovation.
• Explore blockchain technologies and decentralized finance solutions as future opportunities to enhance transparency and infrastructure, where appropriate.
