About The Position

Metropolis is seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the expansion of our computer vision platform for parking and beyond. We are developing an expansive CV/ML platform that includes a broad suite of technologies such as machine learning, cloud computing, camera and computer vision systems, embedded computers, displays, IoT sensors and automated access control systems. As a senior member of the Advanced Technologies team, you will have the opportunity to design and deploy unique vision system solutions that enable the Metropolis technology platform to be applied to multiple domains. In this role, you will support all aspects of development and integration of the Metropolis' vision platform, working across hardware, machine learning, platform and product teams - as well as with external partners - to design and develop solutions, and get work prioritized across multiple teams and stakeholders. The right candidate will possess a strong program management background, will have demonstrated experience leading large development and integration projects, and will have a well-rounded technical background in software and hardware systems (including imaging systems). You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in and get the job done. As a Staff TPM, you will be expected to anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business and customer needs with technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into management pieces, develop functional specifications, and then deliver them in a successful and timely manner is expected.
