## About the Role

In most instances, this position requires in-person interviews as part of the hiring process. Minimum qualifications: Bachelor's degree, or equivalent practical experience. …

## Description

As the Engineering Manager, this person will lead a small team of Associate and Senior Associate engineers, providing both technical direction and day-to-day people management. They'll be accountable for the team's delivery quality, growth, and morale - running 1:1s, code reviews, and technical mentorship - while remaining hands-on enough to personally architect and ship features alongside the team. This is a working leader, not a pure people manager: they set technical standards through direct contribution as much as through coaching.
Your Key Responsibilities
This person will personally build and ship end-to-end features across the frontend and backend, integrating with our Go-based APIs and working closely with product and design to translate climate data into performant, accessible user experiences. They'll debug issues across the full stack - frontend, backend, and underlying data - and partner with platform engineers and data teams to ensure product behavior reflects real-world data. Alongside execution, they'll manage and mentor Associates, driving code quality and engineering standards through direct involvement in the team's day-to-day work.
Your skills and experience that will help you excel
Strong frontend fundamentals (UI architecture, performance, accessibility) paired with comfort working across the stack will be essential, along with experience building and integrating APIs in production systems. Prior experience managing or mentoring engineers - even informally - will help them succeed in the people-leadership side of the role, while familiarity with GraphQL, geospatial or data-heavy systems, and cross-functional collaboration with PMs and designers will set them apart. A growth mindset and comfort operating with urgency in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment will matter as much as technical depth.
