Full Job Posting
Role Summary
- Our client is building SuperHive, an AI powered enterprise platform that uses agentic AI to transform complex domain data into structured, actionable intelligence.
- The platform spans multiple engineering squads, a new infrastructure layer (workflow engines, agentic orchestration, knowledge pipelines), and integrations with third party ecosystems.
- We need someone to make sure all of it ships.
Key Responsibilities Execute
- Own the end to end delivery plan for SuperHive, coordinating dependencies, milestones, and integration points.
- Break down the platform roadmap into quarterly delivery plans with clear squad level objectives, measurable outcomes, and realistic timelines.
- Partner with Tech Leads and Product Managers daily: enhance clarity on scope, surface dependencies and risks early.
- Run the program rhythm: sprint cadences, cross squad syncs, demo cycles, retrospectives.
- Manage the critical path. When one squad is blocked waiting on another, you find the path forward.
Key Responsibilities Influence
- Own and drive at least one complex cross functional program end to end.
- Facilitate technical alignment when squads need to agree on API contracts, data schemas, event formats, or shared infrastructure.
- Manage external prototyping and development engagements: charter and scope definition, milestone tracking, integration checkpoints, and acceptance criteria.
- Challenge the status quo. If a process is not working, propose a better one.
Key Responsibilities Cultivate
- Contribute to building the TPM function itself: shape ways of working rituals.
- Build visibility into delivery health for engineering leadership.
- Define and enforce release processes.
- Contribute to hiring and branding initiatives for the Engineering function.
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Engineering Management, or an adjacent role.
- At least 2–3 years managing programs that included AI/ML workstreams shipping to production.
- Demonstrated experience coordinating 4+ engineering teams working on a shared platform.
- Technical fluency: you can read an architecture diagram, understand an API contract discussion, ask informed questions.
- Startup pace: you have operated in environments where scope changes frequently.
- Strong understanding of modern software delivery: CI/CD, microservices, containerization, cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).
- Excellent written and verbal communication.
- Experience managing external vendor or partner engagements.
Preferred Experience
- Direct experience with LLM powered product delivery.
- Familiarity with agentic AI architectures: multi agent systems, tool calling patterns, orchestration frameworks.
- Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Hatchet, Temporal, Airflow) and message brokers (RabbitMQ, Kafka).
- Background in B2B or enterprise platform products with multi tenancy, role based access, billing, and compliance requirements.
- Experience setting up the TPM or program management function from scratch.
- Familiarity with observability tools (Sentry, Datadog, Signoz).
Who You Are
- Resourcefulness: you thrive when dropped into a new context and figuring out your own way forward.
- Technical curiosity: you can dive into AI concepts and hold substantive discussions with engineers.
- Ownership: you can point to complex programs that would not have shipped without you.
- Soft power: you influence without authority, push back without making it personal.
- Clarity: you connect the dots others miss, especially around cross team dependencies.
Work Location
- This is a remote role.
Contract Duration
- This is a 3 months contract role.
