Senior Technical Program Manager

Who you are

• 5+ years in Technical Program Management or a TPM/PM hybrid role
• A background in software, data, or systems engineering, enough to go deep with engineers
• Experience owning a roadmap: setting strategy, prioritizing across competing demands, and defining what success looks like
• Experience with developer productivity, developer tooling, or engineering platforms
• Hands-on familiarity with AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code) and how engineers actually use them
• Bonus: experience building or shipping AI-native or agentic workflows
• A strong track record leading cross-functional programs with real dependencies and tight timelines, autonomously and with only high-level direction
• Experience owning customer relationships across engineering teams, gathering requirements, and translating their needs into roadmaps and technical specs
• Ability to glean meaningful insights from usage and productivity data to influence product planning and communicate to others
• Comfortable defining and tracking success metrics and adoption
• Clear communicator across the stack, from engineer to VP
