The Role
We are looking for a Technical Project Manager who isn't afraid to open a PR. You will be the force multiplier for our lead pipeline—acting as the bridge between high-level strategy and our Ruby on Rails codebase. This is a hands-on role where you will balance project oversight, roadmap planning, and active development.
What You'll Be Doing
- Dual-Track Execution: Spend roughly 60% of your time on project management (standups, documentation, ClickUp management) and 40% on hands-on Rails development and code reviews.
- Pipeline Orchestration: Own the roadmap for data ingestion. You'll ensure new data sources (extracted via Playwright/Nokogiri) are mapped correctly and oversee the plumbing that turns raw data into high-value leads.
- System Reliability: Monitor GoodJob queues and PostgreSQL performance. You'll be responsible for ensuring our background processing stays performant and database connections are managed efficiently.
- Data Integrity & Tools: Oversee normalization logic using tools like phonelib and manage document generation (PDFs via Prawn) for law firm clients.
- Process Optimization: Turn messy requirements into clean, actionable technical tasks in ClickUp to keep the engineering team moving.
What We're Looking For
- The Hybrid Skillset: You are a seasoned Ruby on Rails developer (Rails 7.1+) who has shifted into (or has a talent for) project management.
- Deep Rails Knowledge: Comfortable with PostgreSQL, complex data mapping, and background job management (specifically GoodJob).
- Experience with Data Extraction: Familiarity with web scraping/automation tools like Playwright, Ferrum, or Nokogiri.
- Autonomous Leader: Capable of taking a technical blueprint and executing with high autonomy in a remote environment.
- High-Level Communication: Fluent spoken and written English is essential for daily alignment (06:00 – 16:00 Eastern U.S. Time).
Our Tech Stack
- Backend: Ruby 3.3.1 / Rails 7.1.5
- Database: PostgreSQL (pg)
- Background Processing: GoodJob
- Scraping/Automation: Playwright, Ferrum, Nokogiri, 2Captcha
- Admin/Auth: ActiveAdmin, Devise, CanCanCan
- Ops/Comms: ClickUp, Slack
