Strategic Technical Partnership: Partner with Senior Engineers and Senior Architects to shape technical strategy. Actively oversee system design discussions to ensure scalability, high availability, performance, and alignment with delivery timelines.
Ambiguity Resolution & Plan Execution: Take ownership of highly ambiguous "0 to 1" initiatives where no precedent exists. Define the problem space, secure cross-functional alignment, manage critical dependencies, and build comprehensive roadmaps from scratch.

Executive & Stakeholder Communication: Act as a trusted advisor to the executive team and board members. Deliver clear, data-driven updates, impact analyses, and candid assessments of program health, technical risks, and strategic trade-offs.
Mentor & Elevate: Serve as the champion for the TPM discipline. Mentor Principal, Senior, and mid-level team members, foster high-performance environments, define hiring standards, and elevate the overall craft across the organization.
What You'll Bring (Qualifications):
Experience: 15+ years of experience driving complex strategic programs, managing cross-functional outcomes, and leading technical program management, software engineering, or systems architecture—including 2+ years operating at a Principal, or equivalent highly-senior Individual Contributor (IC) level.
Technical Depth: Extensive expertise in system architecture, software development, and infrastructure design. Deep foundational knowledge of large-scale distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, AI/ML pipelines, or equivalent domains, with the ability to translate complex requirements into scalable solutions and challenge engineering assumptions.
Analytical Problem Solving: Demonstrated skills in data-driven decision-making, rigorous impact analysis, and proactive risk mitigation to maintain program momentum.
Proven Scale: A track record of successfully delivering massive-scale, mission-critical software or infrastructure programs from inception to global deployment.
Influence & Alignment: Exceptional stakeholder management skills with a proven ability to lead without authority across multiple VP-level organizations, driving consensus among highly opinionated technical leaders.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
Preferred Qualifications:
- Engineering Background: Previous experience as a Senior/Staff Software Engineer or Systems Architect before transitioning to program management.
- Crisis Management: Proven ability to step into failing, high-visibility projects, stabilize them, and drive them to successful completion under extreme pressure.
