Job Summary: We are seeking a Technical Project Manager to own end-to-end delivery of complex software initiatives, coordinate across Application Development, Platform/SRE, and Architecture to turn designs into shipped, reliable systems. Bring enough technical depth to clarify requirements, challenge trade‑offs, identify and address any risks that block teams and delivery.

Essential Functions:

• Plan & deliver multi-team projects: define scope, milestones, dependencies, resourcing, and clear “definition of done.” Maintain a single, living plan across development, platform, and architecture workstreams.
• Drive technical clarity: coordinate design reviews with the Tech Lead/Architect; ensure integration contracts and non-functional requirements are captured.
• Orchestrate environments & releases: align feature work with platform changes (infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, data). Run release readiness, rollback plans, and post-release verification.
• Risk & dependency management: surface the critical path, manage internal/external dependencies, and proactively mitigate technical and delivery risks.
• Metrics & execution: track and improve delivery using flow/DORA metrics (lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, MTTR) and milestone burndown.
• Quality & validation: ensure test strategy (unit, contract, end-to-end, performance) is defined and executed; coordinate load/performance tests with Platform; drive defect triage and stabilization.
• Stakeholder communication: provide concise, technical-aware updates for engineers, leaders, and customers; keep decision logs and status pages accurate and current.
• Process stewardship: improve ways of working, backlog hygiene, intake, and change control; keep meetings lean and outcomes-focused.

Incident & postmortems: coordinate cross-team response for high-severity issues; ensure blameless postmortems yield clear actions that feed back into the roadmap.

Key Qualifications:

• 3+ years leading complex, cross-functional software projects in production environments.
• Technical depth: able to read/understand code at a conversational level, query data (SQL or logs), and reason about distributed systems (APIs, events/queues, caching, data stores).
• Platform familiarity: CI/CD, cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), containers/orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes), infrastructure-as-code concepts, observability (logs/metrics/traces), and security basics (authentication/authorization, secrets, least privilege).
• Architecture literacy: able to facilitate trade-off discussions (latency vs throughput, consistency vs availability, build vs buy) and review ADRs authored by Tech Leads/Architects.
• Execution excellence: proven record of predictable delivery; strong risk management and dependency planning.
• Communication & leadership: concise written docs and verbal comms for engineers and executives; strong facilitation and conflict resolution; motivates without authority across Development, Platform/SRE, and Architecture.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience as an Engineer, Tech Lead, or SRE.
• Experience with data pipelines/ETL, performance testing at scale, or compliance/regulatory delivery.
• Familiarity with ITIL/change management and release governance in regulated environments.
• Experience running discovery, story mapping, and translating business outcomes into measurable technical goals/OKRs.
