Head of Product, Systems

About Torus

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 545,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called GigaOne. We are the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure, uniting communities through resilient, sustainable, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid. Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.

Torus has raised over $267 million from investors like Magnetar, Mercado, ICONIQ and Origin Ventures. The investments are helping to accelerate deployment of modular power plants across utilities, data centers, and industrial sectors. This investor confidence reflects the strength of our team, technology as well as the scale of the problem we are solving. 

At Torus, you will be part of something larger than a single product or technology. Your work will help build energy infrastructure that supports and strengthens our electrical grid, critical  systems, industry, and communities for decades to come. We value accountability, collaboration, and clear thinking. We are looking for people who want to solve hard problems and build things that matter.

About the Role

We believe most product organizations are built and managed to chase the wrong signals (confidence in delivery timelines 12+ months away, internal consensus, user engagement vanity metrics, etc.). We use Directed Discovery, which is a human-centered, evidence-driven product methodology that prioritizes managing product-market-fit above everything else. 

As Head of Product, Systems, this means you will be building and managing a product team and culture which focuses on ensuring our products and user experiences consistently produce these outcomes:

• Choosers quickly and easily recognize Torus’ value and purchase our products (likelihood to buy) 
• Users feel like our product experiences are simultaneously powerful and simple (customer happiness)
• Repeat purchases/expansion of our product (length of stay)

And most importantly, we need to produce these outcomes especially when product-market conditions change. This means you’ll partner as a peer to the Heads of Software, Embedded Systems, Data, and Testing Tools & Frameworks to ensure that our technology systems are successfully balancing “Speed and Quality Equally.”

How We Build

Building with Directed Discovery means a lot of things, but if you don’t deeply resonate with the below, you will not be a fit.

• Product leaders as critical Sales collaborators. Our products exist in a highly sophisticated ecosystem of building owners, utility operators, and regulatory environments. Managing product-market fit means finding the intersection between choosers’ likelihood to buy and users’ happiness as they interact with our products. We believe the only way to great clear chooser signals is being a powerful collaborator in the Sales process. This looks like delivering truly exceptional product demos and supporting the Sales team in overcoming buyer objections as deals are closing.
• Your own proposals get preference-tested like everything else. Expect evidence to kill some of your ideas. If that sentence reads as relief, keep going. If you would rather run a roadmap on conviction and consensus, this will be a frustrating place to work.
• Work is routed, not “roadmapped”. Net-new work runs the full sequence; additions to existing experiences run lighter; operational work lighter still — and rigor scales with reversibility. Software iterates after release. Hardware must be right before tooling and certification. Speed and quality, equally, by design. You must be able to match the level of rigor and framework to the moment of time and need.
• Evidence breaks ties. The user breaks the tie on experience. The purchase order breaks the tie on viability. The instrument breaks the tie on performance.
• The whole team does discovery. Our engineers help build discussion guides, moderate interviews, and sit in pr
