Job description

Our Engineering Manager role in Lowell, MA is a chance to build Ansible infrastructure from a clean slate, which at TechForward happens rarely and matters enormously. Count it up: 7 years, $118,000 - $172,000, a technology charter, and the kind of TechForward growth that compounds.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across MA engineering teams
• Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems
• Deliver manager-quality features within the $118,000 - $172,000 Engineering Manager mandate
• Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
• Build the service-minded REST API feature that wins back the MA accounts TechForward lost

What You'll Bring

• Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
• Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
• Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
• Cross-functional ease, from Team Leadership engineers to Relationship Building marketers
• Experience translating Git complexity for a non-technical audience
• 7 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• A MA work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway

TechForward is where curious, quietly-ambitious people come to build the future of technology. We celebrate Git craftsmanship and hold ourselves to a high bar on the details that matter.

Combine $118,000 - $172,000 with growth, generous benefits, and a mentor, and you have the reason people stay at TechForward for years.
