The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  ScaleForward is hiring a Technical Lead in Cambridge, MA.

• Role description

  A hybrid Technical Lead role with ScaleForward is open, and the bar is simple: own Process Improvement, raise the standard, repeat. The proposition holds together — $139,000 - $204,000, 7 years, a MA base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Keep Cambridge, MA momentum when the lead pipeline runs thin
  • Communicate progress, blockers, and results to stakeholders and leadership
  • Use Teamwork to streamline routine tasks and free up capacity
  • Step in on additional duties that support the wider ScaleForward mission
  • Build and sustain strong working relationships across departments
  • Make peace with client-focused ambiguity and ship anyway
  • Question the brief when the brief doesn't match reality
  • Partner sideways with teams who rarely sit in the same room

  What You'll Bring

  • A collaborator who makes the lead review feel less like an exam
  • Curiosity and a continuous drive to sharpen your general craft
  • 7+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
  • Enough Initiative to be dangerous, enough Presentation Skills to be trusted
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience

  ScaleForward is less a vendor and more a remote-native Cambridge, MA workshop where Process Improvement and Initiative get the attention they deserve. We believe the best general decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

  Pay is $139,000 - $204,000, growth is structured, mentorship is personal, and the flexible hybrid schedule is non-negotiable in your favor.
