Job description

Grata is revolutionizing private market dealmaking. We make it easy to find, research, and engage with private companies by building the most comprehensive, accurate, and searchable proprietary data on private companies, their financials, and their owners, while working with leading edge tools such as generative AI and agentic workflows.

Our customers — leading investors, investment bankers, management consultants, and corporate development teams — rely on Grata to uncover hidden opportunities and win more deals. With over 1,000 customers and consistent recognition from G2, PE Wire, and others, Grata is the clear market leader — but we’re only scratching the surface of what’s possible.

We’re looking for a dynamic Engineering Manager who thrives on complexity and is passionate about building products that tackle the unique challenges of working with sophisticated datasets. This is an opportunity to lead a team shipping AI-enabled features that transform how users discover and engage with private company data and market intelligence.

We are proud of our strong company culture, which is the cornerstone of our success. We value curiosity, collaboration, and a growth mindset. We foster an environment where every team member’s voice is heard, innovation is encouraged, and learning is a continuous process. Our values guide how we work — with integrity, empathy, and a relentless focus on excellence.

• Continuously enhance and optimize engineering processes to improve efficiency and quality.
• Build and lead a team of high-performing engineers with a strong focus on collaboration and excellence.
• Translate strong technical visions into actionable plans, providing guidance and support for execution.
• Manage an engineering team, balancing responsibilities with light coding tasks (80% management, 20% coding).
• Lead sprint planning, roadmapping, and collaborative exercises with Product teams.
• Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineering leadership to align and execute on engineering initiatives.

What we are looking for:

• 2+ years of experience in engineering team leadership or management.
• In-depth understanding of product engineering and its lifecycle.
• Strong knowledge of full-stack development principles and best practices.
• Proven experience guiding teams working on application development projects.
• Demonstrated success in developing and advancing the careers of team members.
• Commitment to maintaining an exceptionally high standard for quality and engineering processes.
• Medical, dental, vision plans: we offer plans with 80% coverage of premiums for employees
• Company-sponsored lunch through Grubhub on a weekly basis
• Unlimited PTO policy
• Flexible Work Location (FWL) policy that allows you to work from home 24 days of the year
