About Us

We are dataplor, a rapidly expanding global location data company. Our mission is to comprehensively map and understand every commercial location on the planet. We are seeking a highly skilled backend engineer to join our team as a Senior Backend Ruby Engineer.


Role Overview


To succeed on our team, we’re looking for people who can relate to these values:

- Mission orientation: you should be actively and acutely curious about the concentric goals around you (project, team, and company goals) and engaged in thinking creatively about how to solve them.

- Intrinsic motivation: you care about clean code because it’s your craft, even if no one else ever sees it.

- Independence: If you see something that needs to be fixed, you fix it

- Humility: The scale and messiness of real world data is a huge challenge that requires us to constantly question our assumptions

- Team mentality: We all succeed or fail together, the scale of the challenge is too large to do it alone.


The core skills you will need for this role:

- Database: Our datastore of choice is Postgres, so you will need to be very fluent in working with and understanding the performance characteristics of relational databases.

- Ruby: The core of our system is written in Ruby, so you will be expected to write Ruby at a high level.


Things that are less core but also incredibly helpful:

- We have additional projects written in Javascript and Python. Experience with those languages is a great plus.

- Experience with large datasets, which often impose their own unique constraints (especially on memory), and require thinking in streams.

- Advanced experience with spatial data – beyond just storing lat/lons. Spatial is a unique and important aspect of our data, and we frequently use polygons and advanced geometric operations to analyze the data.

- Practical knowledge of embeddings and vectors, specifically in how to leverage them to solve useful problems.

- Experience with Docker, which is somewhat ubiquitous for cloud applications.

- Experience working with a complex and often poorly documented AWS ecosystem, where we host most of our cloud things.


Why you might want to work here

- Decent scratch for solving interesting problems

- We are and have always been 100% remote– we care about the work that you do, not where you do it.

- Uber Eats stipend

- Healthcare

- Unlimited PTO

- Regular team retreats

- New hardware
