The 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, all 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.

What You'll Do

  • 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.
  • First Six Months: 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. 
  • First Year: Your team will have successfully improved data quality and stability for scrapers, reflecting a steadfast commitment to meeting agreed-upon Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with clients.

  • You have excellent communication skills, including good English.
  • You have strong project management skills as demonstrated by a strong track record of successfully completed complex technical projects that were directly owned by you
  • You believe that engineering management is a different but equal function to software engineering and you’re excited about tackling the day-to-day challenges of motivating, managing, and supporting engineers.
  • You have experience with US-based companies and hybrid teams.
  • This position requires approximately 50% hands-on development time.

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.

SELF-IDENTIFICATION OF VETERAN STATUS 

Quorum is a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA), which requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment: (1) disabled veterans; (2) recently separated veterans; (3) active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans; and (4) Armed Forces service medal veterans.

These classifications are defined as follows: A “disabled veteran” is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability. A “recently separated veteran” means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran’s discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service. An “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran” means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense. An “Armed forces service medal veteran” means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985. 

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed above, please indicate by making the appropriate selection for the veteran status question below.

VOLUNTARY SELF-IDENTIFICATION OF DISABILITY

Form CC-305 / OMB Control Number 1250-0005 / Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
