Role: Technical Project Manager
Department: Applied AI
Location: SF Bay Area, onsite
Level: Mid level
About the Role
We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager to support technical project execution excellence across our Applied AI and Core Engineering teams. You’ll own project decomposition, estimation, and timelines. You’ll coordinate cross-functional teams, surface and remove blockers, and ensure smooth execution from development through deployment.
This is intense hands-on work that is foundational and core to business. You’ll support competing demands between product and engineering, and execute against shared priorities. You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity and shipping iteratively with accelerated schedules.
Responsibilities
• Delivery Support: Manage project timelines, scope, estimation, decomposition and dependencies across project development initiatives. Work with engineering and client delivery teams to understand timelines and deliverables. Anticipate, identify and escalate blockers to keep projects on track.
• Coordination & Communication: Align core engineering, DevOps, testing, and client delivery teams. Surface risks early, manage cross-team dependencies, and communicate status clearly to stakeholders.
• Program Tracking & Visibility: Maintain project tracking and status reporting. Ensure teams have clear sprint goals, dependencies are visible, and progress is tracked against timelines.
• Technical Triage: Understand enough about agent orchestration, infrastructure automation, workflow orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and platform architecture to ask good questions and spot risks. Deep expertise is not required; strong pattern recognition is.
