Full-Stack Technical Lead Manager

A Full Stack Technical Lead Manager (TLM) at Forerunner is responsible for managing a team of 4-5 engineers on two major fronts:

• Managing the quality, correctness, and timeliness of the software their team produces by preparing for and leading planning meetings, writing and/or reviewing code, pair programming, and interacting closely with our design / product counterparts.
• Managing the career growth of their reports by conducting regular one-on-ones and quarterly reviews, as well as recurring mentorship where needed.
• We expect our TLMs to spend roughly 20-30% of their time heads-down coding, 40-50% of their time on technical leadership duties, like code review and architecture planning, and the remainder 20-40% of their time on their managerial duties.

The engineering team at Forerunner helps local governmental bodies and floodplain managers reason about flooding risks in the USA, breaking down complexity so users can fight against climate change and prevent loss of homes from flooding.

• Prior management experience is required for this role, as we’re looking for someone with at least 1-2+ years of experience managing engineers on a small team.
• A working understanding of technologies including Typescript/React.js/React Native, GraphQL, Node.js, Postgres, AWS, and similar tools is required.
• Ability to build, test, and deploy full-stack software on a regular basis, working within frontends, backends, and data modeling.
• Strong communication skills for clear written and spoken communication in a remote team environment.

• Competitive compensation with salary range of $200,000-$240,000
• Health/vision/dental coverage
• 401k plan
• One expensed lunch per week
• Quarterly wellness reimbursement
• Schedule flexibility
• Mission-driven culture with interdisciplinary team
• Opportunities for career growth and skill development

Forerunner believes climate adaptation is a necessity, not a luxury, and helps local communities access, understand, and mobilize local-level flood risk data at scale to plan for the future.
