Program Manager​/Technology

NOTE:

Position can sit in either PHX or Southlake

** Notes from AM:
Looking for a Java Architect with Project Management/ Mgt Experience.

Role Overview

Highly technical and execution focused Technical Program Manager (TPM) with a robust background in Java-based software development, hands-on experience as a technical lead, and working knowledge of Dev Ops practices and modern engineering tool chains. This role requires deep familiarity with the typical complexities of application development, including architectural decision-making, dependency management, integration challenges, and risk mitigation. TPM will work as an integral part of the software development organization, reporting directly to Senior Development Managers.

As a bridge between engineering and cross functional stakeholders, the TPM must advocate for technical strategy and team priorities while ensuring alignment, clarity, and smooth delivery across organizational boundaries.
