Education & Working Arrangement * Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Engineering, or a related technical field - or a Bachelor's degree with comparable experience in a technical domain. * Working arrangement: Standard business hours, with overlap as needed across US time zones and offshore delivery partners. TOOLS YOU'LL WORK WITH * Jira · Confluence · Jira Product Discovery or equivalent roadmapping tools · Smartsheet or MS Project for integrated scheduling · Slack · Google Workspace · BI and reporting dashboards (Looker, Tableau, or similar) · AWS · GitHub · AI-assisted tooling for specification drafting, status synthesis, and program reporting, Physical requirements for this role include the ability to work at a computer terminal with monitor, keyboard and mouse for extended periods of time, stoop, bend, and reach for equipment and supplies, make frequent repetitive motions required to operate a computer that include the wrists, hands and fingers, and lift, carry, push, pull, and move light objects up to 20 pounds. The role also requires the ability to effectively communicate through verbal interactions, discern auditory information, and visually perceive details to perform essential job functions. ## Description * Drive multiple concurrent technical programs from intake through launch - platform consolidation, cloud migration, enterprise partner integrations, pharmacy automation, and AI-enabled operations. * Own the cross-program dependency map. Identify synergies and duplicated effort across programs and consolidate them before three teams build the same capability three ways. * Run structured risk and issue management on a live RAID log: identify, quantify, assign, mitigate, escalate. Escalate early with an option set, not just a red status. * Define launch criteria and readiness gates with Engineering, Product, Pharmacy Operations, Compliance, and Partner teams, and hold the bar when a date is under pressure. Planning, Scheduling & Work Breakdown * Facilitate work-breakdown across cross-functional teams - decompose ambiguous business objectives into epics, deliverables, and owned workstreams with clear entry and exit criteria. * Build and maintain integrated program schedules: milestones, critical path, sequencing, lead times, and the hard external dates that partner and regulatory commitments impose. * Run the planning events that make a quarter real - increment planning, sizing and estimation sessions, dependency negotiation between teams, and commitment setting. * Allocate people and capacity across programs in partnership with Engineering managers, including offshore vendor pods, and rebalance deliberately when priorities shift. Governance & Operating Mechanisms * Establish and run the governance model for the portfolio: intake and triage, prioritization criteria, stage gates, change control, and clearly defined decision rights and escalation paths. * Own the operating cadence - program reviews, steering forums, and executive readouts - with pre-reads, decision logs, and tracked actions that actually close. * Maintain a durable, auditable record of scope, commitments, decisions, and changes, so that six months later the organization knows what was agreed and why. * Embed compliance, security, and quality gates into the program lifecycle so regulatory obligations are met in stride rather than discovered at launch. * Work with Engineering and Product management to improve delivery mechanisms continuously - estimation quality, intake discipline, and Agile practice that helps rather than taxes the teams. * Bring structure to unplanned demand so urgent partner requests are triaged against a known capacity model instead of interrupting whatever is closest at hand. Stakeholder Communication & Reporting * Report at multiple altitudes: sprint and squad level for engineering, program level for the cross-functional core team, portfolio level for the CTO, CEO, and executive leadership. * Build trusted working relationships across Sales, Partnerships, Product, Engineering, Account Management, Pharmacy Operations, Compliance, and Finance - and keep each of them accurately informed without drowning them. * Write clearly and concisely in a written-narrative culture. Produce the document that makes a hard decision easy to make. * Serve as the single point of truth for program status. When leadership asks whether a launch will hold, your answer is the one they act on. Budget, Capacity & Resource Allocation * Own program budgets: build the estimate, track forecast against actuals, flag variance early, and explain the drivers in business terms. * Partner with Engineering leadership and Finance on headcount, vendor spend, tooling, and cloud cost as they roll into program economics. * Support build-versus-buy analysis with real numbers - cost, time to value, total cost of ownership, and the opportunity cost of the internal capacity consumed. Technical & Product Judgment * Work backward from the customer. Structure deliverables around customer value rather than around internal team boundaries. * Partner with Product Managers on requirements quality - specifications precise enough that engineering can execute without a second round of discovery. * Assess technical feasibility, architectural risk, and integration complexity well enough to know which commitments are safe to make. * Instrument delivery with metrics that matter: predictability, cycle time, launch success, defect escape rate, and post-launch customer impact. ## Related Videos - [The user in the eye of the Cargo1492 storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/96-the-user-in-the-eye-of-the-cargo1492-storm) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Coffee with Developers: David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Coroutine explained yet again 60 years later](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/690-coroutine-explained-yet-again-60-years-later) ## 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) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026)
