Roles & Responsibilities

As a Technical Project Manager (TPM), you will own end-to-end delivery of medium to complex SaaS, Data, and GenAI programs, ensuring alignment between business goals, architecture, and execution. This is not a coordination role — you are expected to bring technical depth, strong execution rigor, and ownership to drive high-quality, scalable, production-ready systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own successful end-to-end delivery from customer discovery through production go-live and hypercare, balancing scope, quality, schedule, commercial objectives, and customer satisfaction.
• Lead discovery workshops with customers, clarify requirements, and translate them into clear user stories, execution plans, and aligned technical direction.
• Manage change requests throughout the project lifecycle while ensuring scope control and stakeholder alignment.
• Establish strong delivery governance, including sprint planning, tracking, release management, Definition of Ready (DoR), Definition of Done (DoD), quality gates, and continuous improvement.
• Validate estimates, capacity plans, and project schedules to ensure realistic execution plans and optimal resource utilization.
• Proactively mitigate delivery, technical, resourcing, and commercial risks.
• Manage cross-team dependencies, remove blockers, and ensure smooth execution across engineering teams.
• Act as the primary customer interface, managing expectations, communication, escalations, and aligning delivery with business outcomes.
• Provide regular project and program status updates, delivery insights, and risk visibility to customers and leadership.
• Participate in architecture discussions, validate high-level design decisions, and facilitate technical trade-offs with engineering teams.
• Drive execution across backend, frontend, mobile, and data engineering teams while ensuring scalable, reliable, and production-ready solutions.
• Demonstrate working knowledge of modern engineering practices, including microservices, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, DevOps, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), and AI-assisted software development.
• Promote engineering excellence by encouraging observability (logging, monitoring, tracing), shift-left practices (testing, security, automation), and AI-assisted development.
• Monitor engineering and delivery metrics (sprint predictability, release quality, production stability, defect trends, customer satisfaction) to drive continuous improvement.
• Identify opportunities for delivery optimization, automation, account growth, and support solutioning and pre-sales activities.
• Demonstrate strong resource planning capabilities and effectively build/manage project teams from initiation to successful delivery.

• Mandatory (Experience 5): Experience with integrations (REST APIs, IdP, payment gateways, CRM, ERP, POS) and familiarity with CI/CD, cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), and the deployment lifecycle.
• Mandatory (Experience 6): Experience working with global customers (US/EU) in a customer-facing delivery role, with international exposure.
• Mandatory (Tech skill 1): High-level understanding of backend systems, REST APIs, and microservices architecture (Node.js exposure preferred), plus system design principles (scalability, reliability, fault tolerance, performance).
• Mandatory (Tech skill 2): Ability to participate in architecture discussions, review technical proposals, evaluate trade-offs, and constructively challenge engineering decisions.
• Mandatory (AI): Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) to improve delivery productivity.
• Mandatory (Communication): Excellent written and verbal communication with engineering teams, business stakeholders, customers, and leadership.
• Mandatory (Company): Must come from a mid-level service company.
