Technical Project Manager

As a Technical Project Manager, you will lead the planning and delivery of complex software engineering and technology initiatives. The ideal candidate combines a strong software engineering and architecture background with technical project and delivery management experience. In this role, you’ll collaborate across engineering, product, data, AI, infrastructure, and business teams to translate business objectives into executable technical plans and successful outcomes.

You’ll bring the technical depth to facilitate technical decision-making, manage delivery risks, and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Projects may span enterprise software, data and AI solutions, cloud infrastructure, APIs, search and knowledge systems, and enterprise integrations. You’ll collaborate with technology teams across multiple time zones, including colleagues in the United States and India. As a premier consulting and technology firm, alliant is focused on providing solutions to help businesses transform and thrive, while serving as their ongoing growth partner.

Lead multiple software engineering and technology projects from initiation through delivery, translating business and product objectives into clear project plans, roadmaps, milestones, schedules, resource needs, and measurable outcomes. Coordinate cross-functional technical teams while monitoring scope, progress, dependencies, risks, blockers, and critical-path activities. Facilitate timely decisions when business requirements, technical design, resources, schedules, or delivery constraints intersect. Maintain accurate project plans, decisions, and supporting documentation throughout the software development lifecycle.

Coordinate cross-functional resources across engineering, architecture, data, AI, infrastructure, security, quality assurance, Dev Ops, and product teams. Apply Agile practices to plan and facilitate sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews, retrospectives, and other delivery activities. Partner with product and engineering teams to translate functional and technical requirements into clearly defined, appropriately sized development work. Monitor sprint commitments, capacity, velocity, dependencies, blockers, and delivery trends to support realistic release plans.

Lead project and release estimation across development, architecture, data, AI, infrastructure, integration, testing, security, and deployment activities. Document assumptions and refine estimates, resource plans, dependencies, sequencing, milestones, and critical paths as technical requirements evolve. Use prior software engineering and architecture experience to facilitate technical design activities and informed architectural decisions. Review proposed solutions for implementation challenges, dependencies, security, scalability, performance, availability, reliability, and maintainability.

Partner with engineering leaders to define technical designs, resolve architectural issues, and remove technical blockers before and during implementation. Create and maintain architecture and technical design diagrams that clearly communicate system components and dependencies. Maintain project risk registers and proactively identify technical, operational, resource, schedule, security, vendor, integration, and dependency risks. Develop mitigation and contingency plans, elevate material concerns early, and coordinate alternative delivery approaches when constraints threaten project outcomes.

Lead projects involving generative AI, AI agents, orchestration, machine learning, and enterprise AI applications across the software development lifecycle. Partner with AI engineering teams on solution architecture, prompt and…
