Context

Forward is working with a product development agency that specializes in 0→1 clients and new projects. They're looking to hire someone who's able to lead projects from start through production, including both the “how” and the “what,” and especially helping clients decide what *not* to build. This is a senior role, requiring full-stack ownership in a fast-paced environment. While the role is hybrid, but the team is tight knit. You’ll work on multiple projects, switching gears as needed. The agency values throughput, efficiency, and work/life balance. There are ~6 engineers in the team, and you'd be working alongside their Head of Eng + Head of Product.
