Community Implementation Manager

<h1><strong>Hi! We're Forerunner.</strong></h1><p>We believe that climate adaptation is a necessity, not a luxury, and communities deserve access to powerful software that helps them plan for the future. The challenge of climate change is complex – it implicates how municipalities plan, manage capital, and communicate to both residents and higher levels of government. Forerunner helps local communities do these things better by empowering them to access, understand, and mobilize local-level flood risk data at scale.<br><br></p><h3><strong>The Role</strong></h3><p>The engineering team at Forerunner strives to be small but dedicated, working relentlessly to help local governmental bodies and their floodplain managers reason about the flooding risks that all communities face in the USA. The domain is complicated, nuanced, and rapidly changing, and we at Forerunner break down this complexity for our users so they can do what truly matters - fight against climate change and the possible loss of homes in the case of flooding.</p><p>Engineers at Forerunner can work remotely from anywhere <strong>within the United States</strong>, so long as they are willing to work on either Eastern or Central timezones. We offer schedule flexibility and ask for accountability in return. We are unable to sponsor H1-B visas at this time, so permanent residency or citizenship is required.</p><p>Our tech stack and other engineering tools include, but are not limited to:</p><ul><li><strong>Typescript</strong> / <strong>React.js </strong>/ <strong>React Native</strong> frontend with <strong>jest</strong> for testing</li><li><strong>GraphQL</strong> API powered by a <strong>Node.js</strong> / <strong>Typescript</strong> backend with <strong>jest</strong> for testing.</li><li><strong>Postgres</strong> as our database, alongside heavy use of <strong>postgis</strong></li><li><strong>git</strong>, <strong>Github</strong> and <strong>Github Actions</strong> for code review and CI</li><li>Deployment to <strong>AWS</strong> using <strong>ECS</strong> and similar products</li></ul><p>While expertise with all of the technologies above is by no means not necessary, a working understanding of at least a few of them is required.</p><p>We strongly encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply - the problem of climate change has an impact on all of us, and we want to reflect that within our team's composition.</p><h3><strong>What You'll Do</strong></h3><p>A Senior Full-Stack Engineer at Forerunner has the following responsibilities:</p><ul><li>Build, test, and review software on a day-to-day basis, working within our frontends, backends, and with the underlying data modeling that underpins them. This means working on a postgres query one day and on a React component the next, all the while making sure this work is adequately tested.</li><li>Do the occasional dev-ops and support work. We use AWS as our cloud provider, but we have no dedicated SRE or dev-ops team, and so sometimes engineers may have to help with the plumbing.</li><li>Occasionally pair-program with and help mentor peers. This means hoping on a Slack or Zoom call with another engineer to collaborate on a particularly thorny piece of code or to talk through different approaches that can be used to solve the problem at hand.</li><li>Help plan medium- to large-sized projects across the stack. The engineering team gives all engineers the opportunity to plan out and execute on large features, and as a senior engineer, you'd be responsible from the more time-sensitive, complicated projects.</li><li>Seek out clarity in the face of ambiguity. Domain expertise is always hard to come by and benefits from dedicated time and curiosity - we are learning a lot from our partners and this reflects in the work we do, so ask questions.</li><li>Communicate clearly, whether in a stand-up meeting, planning meeting, or otherwise. We're a small team working entirely remotely, which requires us to be prompt and clear with both written and spoken communication.</li></ul><h3><strong>What We Offer</strong></h3><p>Forerunner is an early stage company with an interdisciplinary team. We are motivated by seemingly intractable problems and work hard to support one another.</p><p><strong>We're mission-driven. </strong>Our mission orients our business strategy and pushes us to work with a sense of urgency. We’re in the weeds - our entire team spends time engaging with our partners in the field to better understand the real-world problems they face.</p><p><strong>We're a small team. </strong>As a member of our growing team, you will quickly become an invaluable part of our organization and have a meaningful impact on our business and technical direction. We welcome unique perspectives and backgrounds. Your opinion matters and we hope you'll share it.</p><p><strong>We build each other up.</strong> A team works best when its members are adequately equipped with the tools to tackle the problems they are facing. Forerunner strives to provide adequate feedback and appropriate learning opportunities to help all its team members expand their skills.</p><p><strong>We want you to be happy and healthy. </strong>Forerunner offers competitive compensation, health/vision/dental coverage, a 401k plan, and one expensed lunch per week. We also have a quarterly wellness reimbursement so that you can have flexibility in defining what “health” means to you.</p><p><strong>The salary range </strong>for this position is $140,000-$190,000. This posting may span more than one career level. Compensation is determined based on a variety of factors, including an individual’s skills, experience, qualifications, and working location.</p>

<h3><strong>Who We Are</strong></h3>
<p>The Clean Fight is a not-for-profit dedicated to accelerating the equitable adoption of climate solutions in New York State and beyond. Given that many of the technologies we need to solve the climate crisis already exist, it&rsquo;s imperative that we ensure they are adopted quickly, equitably, and at scale. To enable this adoption, The Clean Fight designs and implements different models of adoption to identify and share the actionable strategies that can lead to the rapid deployment of decarbonization solutions, for all. Our programs focus on different parts of the clean energy economy, with practice areas that include buildings, energy storage, and food services.</p>
<p>The Clean Fight currently has three core programs. The&nbsp;<a class="button--2de5X button--14TuV  tertiary--1JsWJ external" tabindex="0" href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/accelerator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" data-role="button-link">accelerator program</a>&nbsp;is New York State&rsquo;s only accelerator focused on growth-stage companies, supporting innovative climate companies looking to move from initial deployment to broad market adoption. Our program is designed to help them quickly scale by collapsing the sales cycle through high-touch customer and capital partner matchmaking, technical assistance, and non-dilutive investments to help with initial deployments. Our second program, the&nbsp;<a class="button--2de5X button--14TuV  tertiary--1JsWJ external" tabindex="0" href="https://www.thecleanfight.com/etp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" data-role="button-link">Empire Technology Prize</a>, is a $10M prize program focused on advancing the development and deployment of easy to adopt clean heating solutions for New York's tall buildings. By focusing the world&rsquo;s best innovators on this issue, combined with the involvement of New York's leading real estate players as demonstration partners, we hope not only to collapse the time to market for these crucial&nbsp; technologies, but to provide a blueprint for other markets in the US and globally to do the same.</p>
<p>Our latest program, the&nbsp;<a class="button--2de5X button--14TuV  tertiary--1JsWJ external" tabindex="0" href="https://thecleanfight.com/programs/capital-challenge" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" data-role="button-link">Energy Storage Capital Challenge</a>, is designed to support innovative energy storage projects in need of capital to advance their deployment in New York State. This is a pivotal time for energy storage innovation in New York, with unprecedented Federal and State incentives, policy, and funding to support the deployment of projects. However, significant obstacles exist for innovators and developers to successfully deploy in New York&rsquo;s unique market. The Energy Storage Capital Challenge is focused on one key need: Aligning capital to accelerate innovative energy storage projects.</p>
<p>We are supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and New Energy New York (NENY).
