This role is work from home position and can be performed remotely anywhere in the continental US or in one of our corporate locations in Utah, Arizona or Colorado

We pride ourselves on craftsmanship, continuous improvement, and collaboration. Our culture encourages experimentation, learning from failures, and delivering meaningful outcomes.

A technically fluent delivery manager who operates at the team level — close to the work, the risk, and the engineers doing both. You understand the full software development lifecycle, from planning through delivery. You build systems that create predictability, surface risk early, and protect delivery integrity. You influence engineers, product managers, and stakeholders through structure, data, and clear framing.

You are comfortable operating in ambiguity. When dependencies slip, scope pressure mounts, or execution variability surfaces, your instinct is to model the impact, structure the options, and reset expectations with clarity.

You are equally at home in flow-based, service-oriented environments where work is continuous and interrupt-driven as you are in iteration-based teams. You understand that delivery discipline looks different depending on the team operating model, and you adapt your approach accordingly without losing rigor.

You treat AI tools as force multipliers for delivery work by using them to draft communications, model trade-offs, accelerate backlog synthesis, and generate operational artifacts faster than manual methods allow. You have a point of view on where AI augments delivery rigor versus where it creates false confidence, and you apply that judgment deliberately.
