DescriptionWhat We Do
At Terabase Energy, we believe that digitalization and automation will drive the next wave of innovation and cost reduction in large-scale solar. To fully unlock the potential of this opportunity, Terabase is developing an interconnected software and construction automation platform. We work alongside project developers, owners, and engineering & construction firms to support the design, optimization, and construction of huge solar projects around the world. Our team is a blend of solar-industry veterans and novices, thought-leaders, dreamers, software, electrical and mechanical engineers, coders, product managers, project managers, sales and marketing professionals. Terabase Energy is a well-funded scale-up headquartered in Berkeley, California, with several other offices around the world, with the most recent one being launched in Paris.
Our Paris office hosts our core R&D team in charge of the development of our flagship product, Construct, a B2B SaaS construction management and quality control platform designed from the ground up for utility-scale solar projects. By combining GIS, AI/ML, IoT, and mobile technologies, the solution drives major improvements in safety, quality, cost, and schedule for the solar industry. Construct has supported more than 16+ GW of projects from leading owners and EPCs.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Technical Product Owner to drive platform delivery across Construct. Operating at the intersection of Product and Engineering, this role provides focus, clarity, and prioritization for all platform development work. The Product Owner ensures that core services, integrations, and infrastructure improvements are well-defined, validated, and released with high reliability. This position reports to the Director of Product Management, Construct Platform, and is part of the broader Product organization.
RequirementsKey Responsibilities

- Own the Construct platform backlog across AI/ML services, data pipelines, integrations, and core infrastructure, balancing new development against refactoring and reduction of technical debt.
- Align platform priorities with overall product strategy and milestones in partnership with the Product organization.
- Translate product and business goals into clear, actionable technical requirements for engineering teams.
- Write precise user stories and acceptance criteria for platform and technical features.
- Partner with Engineering to plan refactors, infrastructure improvements, and modernization efforts that improve maintainability and resilience.
- Collaborate with Engineering and QA to confirm release readiness and drive acceptance testing to validate functionality and completeness before deployment.
Communication & Alignment
- Synthesize complex technical concepts into concise, actionable narratives for cross-functional audiences.
- Foster clear communication and alignment across distributed teams to support predictable, high-quality outcomes.
- Communicate progress, risks, and results clearly to technical and product leadership.
- Track delivery progress to help keep priorities realistic and execution on schedule.
- Ensure documentation and release notes accurately reflect the current system state and capabilities.
Cross-Team Coordination
- Collaborate daily with Engineering Group Leads across Platform & Applications, AI/ML, and Mobile to ensure seamless integration and delivery.
- Partner with design and data teams when needed to validate technical feasibility.
- Identify cross-team dependencies early and coordinate with engineering leads to manage delivery risks.
- Anticipate technical risks and work with engineering leads to define and track mitigation plans.
- Contribute to planning and coordination of releases spanning platform and application layers.
