## About the role

We are hiring our first Technical Program Manager to drive execution across Chalk's most important initiatives. Chalk's surface area is growing quickly: the Chalk Context Engine serves features to models and agents in single-digit milliseconds, and Chalk Compute runs models and agents securely inside our customers' own clouds. Every launch spans engineering, product, docs, and go-to-market, and we need someone who keeps all of it moving.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of experience, including 6+ years of technical program management experience
- Track record of shipping complex, multi-team technical programs from concept to launch
- Strong technical depth: you can follow architecture discussions, pressure-test engineering plans, and understand how data infrastructure and ML systems fit together
- Crisp written and verbal communication: your program proposals, reviews, and decision/tradeoff docs create clarity and get buy-in from engineers and execs alike
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity, you build structure where none exists
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent
