## About the role

You’ll work closely with engineers to build operational muscle, drive issue resolution, and make sure our processes scale as we do. This is a highly technical, execution-focused role—ideal for someone with strong systems thinking, process orientation, and just enough engineering fluency to collaborate with our developers.

## What they're looking for

- 1-3 years in Technical Program Management, Engineering Operations, Product Operations, or a similar role at a fast-paced technology company
- Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree, preferably in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or equivalent
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycles, continuous integration practices, incident management, and deployment/release management
- Familiarity with concepts like feature flags, incidents, and bug ticket lifecycles: you don’t need to write code, but you should be fluent enough to follow the conversation
- Ability to drive clarity and accountability in cross-functional environments, including defining success metrics and reporting on them
- Process-oriented mindset with the curiosity to spot gaps and the grit to close them
