Technical Program Manager, Platform Engineering

About the role:

What you will do:

• Partner with engineering and product leaders to scope projects, set milestones, and sequence work against dependencies and available staffing.
• Set and run the cadence for planning, status reporting, and risk review across the org.
• Drive execution on the build, release, and continuous deployment infrastructure behind MAX, Mojo, and Cloud, shortening the path from merge to production and keeping rollouts and rollbacks safe and routine.
• Define and report the metrics for developer experience health, including build time, CI queue time, test flakiness, and time to merge. Use them to prioritize where to invest.
• Partner with Security on the integrity of the build and release path — secrets handling in CI, runner and artifact isolation, signing and provenance, and access control on deploy paths.
• Coordinate rollouts and migrations across teams, with clear communication, rollback plans, and adoption tracking.
• Strengthen reliability of developer infrastructure: lead follow-through after incidents, drive root-cause analysis across teams, and make sure action items actually close.

What you bring to the table:

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience in technical program management, engineering management, or infrastructure engineering.
• Experience driving programs for platform or developer infrastructure teams at scale, such as build systems, CI/CD pipelines, test infrastructure, or release tooling.
• Experience leading cross-functional programs with multiple teams and dependencies, from scoping and planning through delivery.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical work to a range of audiences.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 4+ years of Program Management or related work experience.
  • Completed advanced degrees in a relevant field may be substituted for up to two years (Master’s = one year, Doctorate = two years) of work experience.

Helpful, but not required:

• Experience building or operating release and deployment infrastructure, including continuous deployment.
• Ability to diagnose and improve build performance, test reliability, and pipeline throughput.
• Experience working with compiler, systems software, or AI/ML infrastructure teams.
• Experience setting the planning and reporting cadence for an engineering organization.
• Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to make technical detail clear to people outside the work.
