Technical Project Manager

Coder is looking for an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to lead and shape our most complex, high-stakes engineering programs. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, setting the standard for program execution across the organization and acting as a trusted partner to senior engineering and product leadership. The role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: you'll own the definition, cross‑functional planning, and delivery of initiatives that span multiple teams and systems, and give leadership the visibility they need to steer.

What you'll do here

• Own engineering programs end to end, from definition through delivery and iteration, across teams that don't report to one another

• Own scope, milestones, timelines, dependencies, and risk, driving trade-offs to a written decision and holding accountability for delivery

• Work hands‑on with engineers and product managers, close enough to the work to influence architectural and interface decisions

• Serve as the central coordination point across engineering, product, design, security, and go‑to‑market

• Run the operating cadence and deliver crisp updates on program health, risks, and trade‑offs to technical, executive, and customer stakeholders

• Improve engineering productivity through better tooling and light‑weight process, including AI‑native tooling and our own product

What we're looking for

• 7+ years in technical program management, including complex multi‑team programs where no single team owned the whole outcome

• Deep technical intuition—you can read a design doc, ask the question that exposes the unstated assumption, and argue sequencing with a staff engineer

• A track record of delivering at scale, including ownership of a dated external commitment such as a GA, a launch, or a regulated enterprise deadline

• Strong organizational influence; you set the agenda with minimal oversight and move teams that don't report to you, without being slowed down by ambiguity or competing priorities

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, effective with technical and executive audiences alike

• Judgment to bring just enough process to move fast without losing rigor, and the discipline to remove what isn't working

Our tech stack

• Backend:
  Go, Postgres, GCP, Kubernetes, gRPC

• Frontend:
  Type Script, React, Vite

• IDE Extensions:
  Type Script, Kotlin

• Observability:
  Prometheus, Grafana

• CI/CD:
  Git Hub Actions

• General:
  Git Hub, Slack, Discord, Notion
