Project Manager

The Company Star is a global technology consultancy that helps enterprises bridge strategy and execution through deep industry expertise and an AI‑native delivery engine to design, build and scale digital solutions with lasting business value and end‑user impact.

Our model is designed for the practitioner-leader. At Star, we’ve stripped away the traditional corporate overhead to create a frictionless environment where strategy, design, and engineering are unified by an AI-first mindset. This allows our employees to move from "zero to endgame" at a pace that traditional structures simply cannot match.

We are looking for you! We are seeking an empathetic, results-oriented Technical Delivery Manager with a strong software engineering background to join our Project Delivery team. In this role, you will lead technical delivery for an enterprise-grade Smart Retail and IoT Telemetry Platform that powers connected equipment, real-time analytics, and predictive operations across large-scale retail networks.

You will be responsible for translating functional business needs into highly detailed, developer-ready technical specifications. This is a high-visibility role bridging the gap between Product Management/Business Analysis and Engineering/Architecture teams across global touchpoints.

Skills And Experience You Can Bring To This Role Qualifications & experience:

• Technical Experience: 2+ years of hands-on software engineering or technical systems analysis experience (REST APIs, databases, cloud architecture, or data structures)
• Delivery Management: 3+ years of experience leading Agile/Scrum teams, grooming JIRA backlogs, and delivering complex cloud software or IoT platforms
• Domain & Cloud Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of AWS cloud concepts, API workflows, database design, and algorithmic/data-driven software capabilities
• AI & Engineering Tools: Proficient user of AI tools to accelerate delivery workflows, with a practical understanding of Harness engineering/deployment pipelines and build processes
• Consulting & Communication: Advanced written and spoken English with strong consulting skills, specifically the ability to explain complex technical concepts simply to business stakeholders and turn business vision into developer requirements
• Methodologies: Deep practical experience in Scrum and Agile software development lifecycle (SDLC) methodologies.

Educational requirements:

• MS/BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent is preferred. Credit will be given to candidates who do not have relevant degrees but can demonstrate equivalent work experience.

What Impact You’ll Make

• Technical Ticket Grooming & Specifications: Translate high-level functional requirements into granular JIRA epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria tailored for UX engineers, backend API developers, database engineers, and data algorithm teams.
• Cross-Functional Bridge: Work closely with Product Managers and Business Analysts (functional domain) alongside Architects and Engineers (technical execution) to eliminate ambiguity and streamline sprint commitments.
• Agile Scrum Delivery: Facilitate backlog refinement, sprint planning, and daily execution across distributed development teams to ensure high-quality, predictable software releases.
• System Alignment: Review API contracts, data pipeline logic, database schemas, and cloud architecture (AWS) to ensure user stories align with overall platform technical standards.
• Process Excellence: Manage customer expectations, remove delivery bottlenecks, hold internal teams accountable to commitments, and proactively manage technical dependencies across global time zones.

What You’ll Get We offer a rewarding compensation and benefits package, an intellectually and creatively stimulating environment, professional flexibility, and unique travel and career development opportunities.
