Technical Program Manager

Role Overview We are looking for a Program Manager who thrives at the intersection of rigorous engineering and predictable delivery. You will not just "manage tasks", you will orchestrate the development lifecycle for mission-critical C++ systems. Your goal is to ensure that our elite engineering teams can focus on high performance code while you own the execution strategy, dependency mapping, and release discipline. Key Responsibilities • Lead Agile ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Stand-ups, Retrospectives) tailored for deep-tech systems programming. • Transform high-level trading requirements into granular, executable backlogs. Own capacity planning and burn-down metrics to provide high-visibility delivery timelines. • Navigate the complex interplay between Connectivity (Market Data/Order Entry), Core Infrastructure, and Simulation teams to prevent bottlenecks. • Build and maintain advanced Jira dashboards, automated roadmaps, and Confluence documentation that serve as the "single source of truth" for stakeholders. • Proactively identify technical debt, architectural blockers, or resource gaps that threaten release stability. • Continuously refine Agile methodologies to suit low-latency C++ development cycles (where "Definition of Done" includes rigorous performance benchmarking). Eligibility & Required Skills • 5+ years of experience as a TPM, Program Manager, or Scrum Lead in a product-engineering environment (HFT, FinTech, Networking, or Kernels/Systems). • A strong grasp of the C++ development lifecycle. While you won't write code, you must understand concepts like build systems, CI/CD for systems software, and performance regressions. • Expert-level proficiency in Jira Service Management/Software and Confluence. Ability to use JQL for advanced reporting. • Exposure to low-latency, trading systems, networking, or infra software preferred. • Exceptional ability to translate complex technical constraints into clear business updates for Engineering Leads and Partners.
