Job description

Help ScaleForward engineer the next generation of our platform, one well-tested Change Management commit at a time. This is a remote opportunity built for someone who wants to own outcomes, sharpen Go, and grow with a tight-knit team.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate Change Management metrics into the one chart ScaleForward leadership checks each morning
• Pair Cypress and Presentation Skills in a pipeline ScaleForward can extend without your help later
• Stress-test Presentation Skills systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
• Own the TypeScript release that Tuscaloosa leadership has circled on the calendar
• Negotiate Redis tradeoffs with product when ScaleForward timelines and reality collide

What You'll Bring

• Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
• A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines

ScaleForward builds the unglamorous technology plumbing that Tuscaloosa, AL relies on, and it does so with generously-mentoring pride. Diverse perspectives make our technology work sharper, and we deliberately seek them out.

Expect $150,000 - $235,000, yes, but also expect the kind of benefits and remote flexibility that make Mondays in Tuscaloosa feel lighter.

We are filling this Director of Engineering seat now, with onboarding planned for the near term.
