Technical Project Manager (Hybrid PM / Ruby on Rails Developer)

Job Description

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).
