Engineering Manager

on the Data team will coach, manage, and support a team of 4-6 full-stack engineers and work cross-functionally with product and other dev teams. The Engineering Manager will be hands-on and own the technical roadmap planning and execution in collaboration with the Data Product Manager. In managing the individual contributors, hands-on coding and technical guidance are expected at about 50% in any given week, though delegation of technical tasks is expected in most cases. The Engineering Manager is committed to delivering high-quality results and working through challenges and obstacles while managing expectations with various stakeholders. The Data team holds the responsibility for implementing and maintaining data scrapers and spiders. This entails a commitment to meeting agreed-upon SLAs with clients and proactively upholding high data quality standards.

First Week:

You will work closely with an onboarding mentor to complete the standard engineering onboarding process and learn to ship new code to production to understand the end-to-end tech stack and software development lifecycle.
First Month:

You will be up and running with your standard managerial practices and processes, learn the ins and outs of Quorum’s Core products, technical strategy, roadmap, and challenges, and get to know the members of your team, product managers, and other leaders on the technology team.

You will fully own the planning and execution of the Data team and technical roadmap and milestones. You will mentor and coach existing team members to improve their skills and help bring on new team members into the organization.

About the Software Development Team
We're a fast-growing team dedicated to improving our people, processes, and platform. The team is primarily structured into product-oriented squads.
We support many different products but internally think of them as one system with a single unified codebase. We aim to build centralized systems that handle complex problems for multiple features and products.
We’re focused on doing the important things the right way -- we write solid documentation, test our code well, design for scale, and follow defined software development processes.
We follow best-in-class security practices to safeguard our data and application against bad actors. We regularly test and update processes and technology to fight complacency because we know good security is a continuous effort.
We curate high-quality datasets essential for effective mapping and tracking of the government and public affairs spaces. Our datasets underpin our promise to give users the information necessary to make smart decisions influencing policy.
We set rigorous quality standards and monitor them with a mix of programmatic and manual verifications to ensure users maintain high trust in our systems.
We’re very close as a team and invest not only in each others’ skills and careers but also in building real relationships with one another: product development is a team sport, and we believe that it’s better (and more fun) to work on a team of people that you know well and care about.
Our Work Environment
We are a remote-first team with flexible work options: work remotely, or you may choose to come into our office in Belo Horizonte.
