Track progress against goals 3. Risk and Resource Management Identify potential risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks early in the development cycle, developing effective mitigation and contingency plans. Manage program budgets and resource allocations, ensuring optimal utilization of engineering capacity. Drive continuous process improvement across the central technology organization to increase efficiency, predictability, and quality. 4. Technical Acumen Possess a strong understanding of foundational infrastructure, including cloud computing (AWS, GCP), networking, distributed systems, and modern software architecture. Partner with engineering leadership to define technical requirements, scope, and non-functional requirements (scalability, performance, reliability, security). Champion operational excellence and the adoption of best practices (e.g., runbooks, monitoring, automated testing) across platform teams. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 5+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager or Project Manager managing complex software and/or infrastructure projects. Demonstrated understanding of core software engineering principles and the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) in an agile environment. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, capable of synthesizing complex technical issues for executive review and technical deep-dives.
