Preferred Requirements: * Experience managing projects within a software consultancy, professional services firm, or client-facing engineering organization. * Experience delivering projects in blockchain, distributed systems, fintech, financial services, or capital markets. * Familiarity with digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, or the Canton Network ecosystem. * Experience delivering software into regulated or enterprise environments. * Familiarity with various delivery practices including Agile, while understanding when processes need to adapt to the project rather than the other way around. ## Description As a Software Project Manager, you will own the day-to-day delivery of technical client engagements across blockchain, financial infrastructure, and distributed systems. You'll work closely with software engineers, technical leads, clients, and internal stakeholders to translate business objectives into executable delivery plans, manage scope and dependencies, surface risks early, and keep projects moving toward successful outcomes. You won't be expected to write production code, but you will need technical understanding to engage meaningfully with engineers, understand system dependencies and trade-offs, ask the right questions, and communicate technical constraints clearly to clients. Our projects often involve emerging technologies, evolving requirements, multiple stakeholders, and problems that do not have obvious solutions. You'll need to be comfortable creating structure where it doesn't yet exist and making ambiguity visible rather than allowing it to become delivery risk., * Own client software projects from initial planning and kickoff through delivery and project close. * Translate project scope and client objectives into clear milestones, deliverables, dependencies, and execution plans. * Partner closely with engineering leads to understand technical requirements, architecture decisions, implementation dependencies, and delivery risks. * Maintain a clear and accurate view of project health across scope, timeline, resources, risks, and dependencies. * Identify delivery risks early and drive concrete mitigation plans before they become blockers. * Facilitate project kickoffs, planning sessions, status meetings, retrospectives, and other delivery ceremonies where useful. * Ensure engineers have the context, decisions, requirements, and stakeholder access they need to execute effectively. * Communicate project status, risks, trade-offs, dependencies, and changes clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. * Protect engineering teams from unnecessary churn while maintaining strong, trusted client relationships. * Escalate issues proactively with context, options, and recommended next steps rather than simply reporting problems. * Continuously improve project management processes, tooling, documentation, and delivery practices across Obsidian. ## Related Videos - [Pragmatic Blockchain Design Patterns: Integrating Blockchain into Business Processes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1579-pragmatic-blockchain-design-patterns-integrating-blockchain-into-business-processes) - [Tokenization of Everything: Where the Real World Meets Blockchain](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1035-tokenization-of-everything-where-the-real-world-meets-blockchain) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) - [The user in the eye of the Cargo1492 storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/96-the-user-in-the-eye-of-the-cargo1492-storm) - [Develop a Blockchain Application in JavaScript with Lisk SDK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/188-develop-a-blockchain-application-in-javascript-with-lisk-sdk) - [Run on Bitcoin](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/29-run-on-bitcoin) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Mastering Remote Work: Tips for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/558-mastering-remote-work-tips-for-developers)
