About The Position

The Engineering Enablement Technical Program Manager is a strategic partner to the R&D organization, responsible for accelerating developer velocity through targeted technical upskilling. This is not a delivery-only role; it is a programmatic and consultative role. You will partner with emerging AI teams and infrastructure SMEs to scope, design, and operationalize high-fidelity workshops and resources. You will act as a technical translator who understands the nuances of CI/CD, cloud-native architecture, and AI workflows. Furthermore, you will serve as a cross-functional liaison for Open Source (OSS) efforts, partnering with Legal, Security, and DevProd to ensure our open-source contributions and usage are compliant and secure.

Requirements

Significant experience or awareness in modern engineering domains: CI/CD pipelines, Networking, Cloud Operations (AWS/GCP), Containers (Docker/Kubernetes), and Linux.
Ability to hold your own in a room of senior engineers.
A foundational understanding of the AI development lifecycle to effectively support emerging AI teams.
3+ years of experience managing complex technical programs involving cross-collaboration between Engineering, Legal, and Security.
Proven ability to scope and structure technical training content without necessarily being the "front-of-room" instructor.
Experience navigating the intersection of open-source contributions, licensing, and security requirements.
Exceptional ability to synthesize complex technical requirements into actionable program plans for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Partner with AI/ML and emerging development teams to identify skill gaps and design learning roadmaps.
Own the design and execution strategy for training content.
Work alongside Engineering SMEs to extract complex technical knowledge—covering CI/CD, Networking, Cloud Ops, and Containers—to build structured, code-centric workshops.
Drive the creation of technical artifacts, runbooks, and self-paced modules, ensuring content is technically accurate and resonates with a senior engineering audience.
Provide technical insight and program support for open-source initiatives.
Partner with Legal and Security teams to facilitate code reviews for OSS contributions and ensure alignment with corporate compliance standards.
Work with the DevProd team to integrate open-source best practices into the standard engineering workflow.
Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of multiple engineering enablement projects, from initial scoping to post-program impact analysis.
Maintain tight feedback loops with R&D leadership to ensure enablement programs align with shifting product priorities and AI roadmaps.
Define and track success metrics for technical upskilling initiatives to demonstrate impact on engineering productivity.
