Job Responsibility

We are seeking a high-caliber, results-oriented Engineering Program Manager (EPM) to drive critical multi-functional technical initiatives from concept to delivery. In this role, the candidate will sit at the intersection of engineering, product, infrastructure, and operations—turning ambiguity into execution.

The candidate will be a relentless problem solver who doesn’t just track schedules, but understands the architecture, identifies dependencies and hidden risks early, and orchestrates cross-functional alignment across deeply technical teams.

Key Qualifications

Client Exp is preferred.

Proven EPM / TPM Track Record

6 to 8+ years of technical program management experience leading large-scale, complex software or infrastructure initiatives end-to-end.

End-to-End Problem Solving

Exceptional analytical horsepower; ability to dissect deeply ambiguous, high-impact technical problems, map root causes, and drive actionable solution paths across disparate systems.

Cross-Functional Orchestration

Demonstrated mastery in rallying cross-functional teams (Software Engineering, Architecture, QA, DevOps/SRE, Product, Security, and Leadership) toward unified milestones without formal authority.

Technical Depth

Solid grasp of modern software development life cycles (SDLC), cloud/distributed systems, CI/CD, and release management—comfortable engaging in architectural discussions and challenging technical tradeoffs.

Executive Communication

High emotional intelligence (EQ) with the ability to distill complex technical status, trade-offs, blockers, and timelines into crisp, data-backed summaries for executive stakeholders.

Client Experience (Preferred)

Prior experience working within Client or an Client-like matrixed environment—fluent in Client-style cross-functional engagement, operational rigor, and executive briefing norms.

Description & Responsibilities

Drive Program Execution

Lead the end-to-end lifecycle for multi-tiered engineering initiatives—defining scope, critical path milestones, resource alignment, and deliverables across multiple engineering pods.

Relentless Issue Resolution

Act as the primary escalation point for cross-team blockers. Triage complex operational and architectural challenges, drive rapid root-cause analyses, and implement durable solutions.

Dependency & Risk Management

Proactively identify technical, schedule, and resource risks across interconnected programs; devise mitigation plans before risks turn into blocking issues.

Cross-Functional Cohesion

Establish clear operating cadences, RACI frameworks, and communication channels across engineering, operations, security, and product partners.

Executive Visibility & Metrics

Maintain single-source-of-truth program dashboards, risk registers, and milestone tracking. Provide transparent, high-signal reporting to engineering leaders and executive sponsors.

Process Optimization

Continuously evaluate engineering workflows and operational handoffs, eliminating toil and optimizing the path from code freeze to production deployment.
