• Establish and run program operating rhythms, including planning, execution tracking, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Identify, track, and manage dependencies and risks across teams with competing priorities.
• Partner with technical leads to ensure initiatives balance developer velocity, operational excellence, security, and cost efficiency.
• Support initiatives such as multi-region Kubernetes platforms, MLOps workflows, standardized deployment systems, and shared authentication services.

• 6+ years of experience in technical program management.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate delivery across multiple engineering teams and long-running initiatives.
• Comfort engaging deeply with technical discussions to understand requirements, constraints, and delivery risk. 
• Excellent written communication skills, with experience authoring well scoped tickets for engineers and progress updates for stakeholders. 
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and distributed systems.
• Experience working with SRE or on-call operations models.
• Hands-on familiarity with:
• Container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes)
• Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipelines
• Observability and operational tooling
• AWS services (e.g., EC2, EKS, CloudWatch, IAM) or equivalent cloud platforms.

• Demonstrated success building platforms or driving adoption across diverse engineering teams.
• Background supporting large, multi-team technical transformations or consolidation efforts.
• Program or project management certifications (PMP, PRINCE2, Agile PM, SAFe, etc.).
• Have prior software engineering or SRE experience.
