About Us

Our mission at dataplor is to comprehensively map and understand every commercial location on the planet.  We provide insights on every merchant in the world, covering 350M+ businesses and places, empowering organizations with high-quality location intelligence to drive strategic decision-making.  After more than doubling our revenue last year, we closed a Series B.  We are excited to grow the team and take this rocketship to the next level!


Role Overview

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the development of our Ruby on Rails–based web platform. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and has experience building scalable web applications with complex business logic and evolving feature sets.


You’ll start by managing a team of 4 engineers and play a key role in shaping the team, product, and technical direction as we build out a mission-critical platform for our business. We’re looking for a player/coach—someone who enjoys mentoring and growing engineers, but who can also write production-ready code and lead by example.


If you’ve read Extreme Ownership, you’re the boat team captain for this team of engineers. You will be accountable for the results of the team and have control over hiring and firing for your team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and support a high-performing team of engineers building a modern web application on Ruby on Rails and Next.js.
  • Ensure the delivery of well crafted technical output with buck-stops-here accountability.
  • Balance people management with team leadership, technical guidance, and hands-on engineering work.
  • Help define the product roadmap in partnership with product and design leaders.
  • Break down large ideas into actionable projects, manage scope, and ensure timely, high-quality delivery.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Technical Program Management to identify blockers, mitigate risk, and keep projects moving forward.
  • Set and uphold standards for code quality, testing, security, and performance, particularly around Ruby and PostgreSQL.
  • Scale the output of the team both through recruiting and developing the capabilities of existing team members.

Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years of engineering management experience, ideally in user-facing web applications with complex workflows, and long-term technical evolution.
  • Deep knowledge of Ruby and Rails, including real-world architectural decisions and tradeoffs.
  • Deep knowledge of Javascript and Next.js, including real-world architectural decisions and tradeoffs.
  • Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and data integrity.
  • Proven ability to lead teams in startup or growth-stage environments.
  • Strong project management instincts: scope control, delivery tradeoffs, risk awareness.
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, both with engineers and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Comfortable working in code, reviewing PRs, and guiding technical decisions when needed.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Unlimited PTO and paid holidays
  • Monthly Uber Eats Credit
  • Industrious or similar co-working membership
  • Semi annual team retreats and ad hoc meetups
  • A collaborative and supportive work environment
