About The Position

Were you once the person writing the code… and now you’re the one making sure it makes it to production successfully? We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager who understands software development from the inside. Someone who can speak the language of engineers, understand the realities of deployments, and bring structure and accountability to complex technical initiatives. Many of our strongest candidates started their careers as software developers, engineers, or DevOps specialists before moving into project leadership. If that sounds like your path, this role may be a strong fit. About the Role As our Technical Project Manager, you’ll lead the planning and execution of initiatives across our SaaS platform, including product enhancements, infrastructure improvements, and customer deployments. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, QA, and Operations to ensure projects move from idea to production with clear priorities, realistic timelines, and disciplined execution. This role sits at the intersection of technical depth and strong project leadership. Why This Role Works Well for Former Developers This isn’t a role for someone who only manages timelines and meetings. We’re looking for someone who understands the technical work, asks the right questions, and helps teams deliver complex projects successfully. If you’ve moved from building software to leading delivery, you’ll likely feel right at home here. This Role Is Likely NOT a Fit If Your background is strictly project management with limited technical exposure You are not comfortable discussing code, deployments, or system architecture You prefer managing timelines rather than engaging in technical problem-solving
