<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.</p><h3><strong>The Role</strong></h3><p>We are looking to bring on a Director of Engineering to lead the engineering org through our next stage of growth.</p><p>The engineering team at Forerunner strives to be small but dedicated, working relentlessly to help government agencies better understand flood risk.
