Software Engineering Manager
About The Position
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. 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.
