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 round of funding.  We are excited to grow the team and take this rocketship to the next level!


Role Overview

We’re hiring a Lead Full Stack Engineer with a strong Ruby background and solid DevOps experience to help us build and evolve the internal platform that powers our growing product development team. This role sits on our internal platform team, focused on developer velocity, infrastructure reliability, system monitoring and insights, and operational excellence. As a technical leader on a small team (2–3 engineers), you’ll work closely with our Engineering Manager to design systems, lead implementation, and mentor teammates. You’ll also collaborate with product engineers across the company to deliver tools, infrastructure, and services that enable fast, safe, and scalable development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and build internal tools, systems, and services using Ruby, React JS, and PostgreSQL.
  • Lead architecture and implementation of core platform capabilities—from CI/CD improvements to observability and deploy tooling.
  • Help manage and evolve our Heroku and AWS infrastructures.
  • Own reliability and performance of shared systems, including background jobs, secrets management, job queues, and CI pipelines.
  • Work closely with product teams to improve developer workflows, reduce operational friction, and build tools for delivery, monitoring, and debugging.
  • Partner with your Engineering Manager to guide technical direction, set best practices, and grow team skills.
  • Act as a mentor and technical resource for other engineers across the org.
  • Participate in our on-call rotation and help build a culture of reliability and ownership.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in a startup or high-growth environment.
  • Strong experience building and maintaining Ruby applications in production.
  • Deep familiarity with PostgreSQL—data modeling, query performance, and migrations.
  • Experience with AWS infrastructure, CI/CD systems, and cloud-native tooling.
  • Solid knowledge of DevOps principles: automation, observability, scaling, and release management.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with product engineers, EMs, and leadership.
  • Passion for building tools that make other engineers more effective and productive.

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
