About the role and team

Leading in a high-growth environment means setting direction in motion, not waiting for perfect conditions. As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will drive structure and coordination for large-scale, complex engineering initiatives that power the bedrock of the platform-from core service layers to data infrastructure that supports millions of real-time transactions. This role is about navigating the reality of modernizing critical products and security frameworks while the business moves at high velocity.

You will be a strategic operator and cross-functional influencer, owning the end-to-end lifecycle of technical programs that span Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Legal. You will make data-driven decisions on prioritization, manage complex dependencies, and impact global reliability and data privacy. We are looking for a professional who can solve architectural puzzles and elevate technical program management standards across a global organization.

What you'll do

Lead complex technical programs from inception to delivery, resolving cross-team dependencies and evaluating risks in real-time.
Partner with engineering leads to conceptualize architectural solutions and translate product visions into detailed execution roadmaps and resource plans.
Drive execution velocity by identifying systemic bottlenecks, managing escalations, and removing obstacles to maintain project momentum.
Champion engineering and operational excellence, implementing continuous improvements to program management processes.
Navigate high-stakes ambiguity by balancing priorities across diverse stakeholders, including leadership, technical teams, and legal/compliance partners.
Use a data-driven approach to define program KPIs, track progress, and provide actionable insights for decision-making.

Basic Qualifications

5+ years of experience in technical program management or software development leadership.
Experience shipping large-scale programs while managing scheduling, resource planning, and stakeholder communication for senior-level audiences.
Technical aptitude with the ability to understand distributed systems and translate technical issues into prioritized actions.
Experience predicting execution risks and building data-backed proposals to achieve team alignment.
Experience with the product development lifecycle, including creating technical documentation (such as PRDs or ERDs).
Experience driving efficiencies through process definition, runbooks, or tooling automation.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Management Information Systems, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience).

Preferred Qualifications

Expertise in specialized domains such as Data Security, Privacy (GDPR, SOC 2), Internal Audit, or Infrastructure cost optimization.
Background in software engineering or engineering management, specifically within microservice or DevOps environments.
Experience with data analytics tools (e.g., SQL, Python, Tableau) to drive analysis and automation.
Professional certifications such as PMP, CISA, CISSP, or CIA.
Ability to resolve ambiguity in fast-paced environments and manage hands-on technical challenges.
