Software Engineering Manager

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• Personally build and ship end-to-end features across the frontend and backend, integrating with Go-based APIs and working closely with product and design to translate climate data into performant, accessible user experiences.
• 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.
• Manage and mentor Associates, driving code quality and engineering standards through direct involvement in the team's day-to-day work.

Skills and experience

• Strong frontend fundamentals (UI architecture, performance, accessibility) paired with comfort working across the stack.
• Experience building and integrating APIs in production systems.
• Prior experience managing or mentoring engineers — even informally — to succeed in the people-leadership side of the role.
• Familiarity with GraphQL, geospatial or data-heavy systems, and cross-functional collaboration with PMs and designers.
• A growth mindset and comfort operating with urgency in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment.
