About the role
We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 5+ years of product engineering experience to join our Core Platform team. You'll implement features that help build resilient communities - from real-time flood risk visualizations to automated permit workflows that cut response times from weeks to hours. This is a product ownership role where you'll work directly with government users who are on the frontlines of climate adaptation.
What they're looking for
- A product engineer, not just a coder. 5+ years of experience building and shipping features that real users depend on — not just writing code, but owning outcomes
- Full-stack fluency. Deep comfort with TypeScript, React, and working across the stack — backend to frontend and everything in between
- Data at your core. Strong SQL and database design instincts — you think in schemas, not just queries
- A history of leading by example. Through mentorship, code reviews, and sound technical decision-making — not because it's in your job description, but because it's how you work
- At home in ambiguity. A track record of taking unclear requirements and delivering complex features independently. You thrive in a startup environment where ownership runs deep and the boundaries of your role are whatever the team needs
- Respect for the systems around the code. Enough familiarity with CI/CD, testing frameworks, and developer tooling to improve how the team ships — not just what it ships
More about this role
Stronger, more resilient communities are built by the people inside government and regulated industries who keep critical infrastructure running. But they're working against real headwinds: fragmented data, field crews without the right tools, and high-stakes decisions made without a complete picture.
Forerunner exists to fix that. We build intelligent software that connects the systems these agencies and firms already rely on, fills the gaps those systems can't, and turns fragmented information into decisions and actions that reduce liability, surface revenue, and prevent small problems from becoming emergencies.
