Engineering Manager at Forage
Australia
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoe Ferrer is an engineering manager based in Australia with about four years of formal experience guiding teams to modernize infrastructure and deliver product-facing features at scale. He has repeatedly led migrations—moving legacy ETL to ELT, consolidating AWS accounts into well-architected setups, and transitioning monitoring and CI/CD tooling to Datadog and GitHub—while championing TypeScript adoption and serverless patterns. Joe pairs hands-on engineering (code splitting, bundle reduction, Cloudflare Workers, serverless services) with people leadership: hiring and onboarding, building skills frameworks, and coaching teams on feedback and security practices. His work has measurably improved site performance, SEO presence, and student-facing product growth (including a COVID-driven RVI platform that grew 5x). Notably, he led creation of Forage’s first public VEPs API and introduced engineering RFCs and architecture diagrams to support SOC2 and scalable delivery.
