Requirements

Candidates should have 8+ years of experience in software engineering organizations and several years of experience as a TPM or in a comparable role driving cloud infrastructure, capacity planning, and efficiency or performance engineering at scale, such as AWS, GCP, Azure, or large SaaS environments. A demonstrated ability to lead complex technical initiatives across multiple functions without direct authority, along with strong influencing, negotiation, and relationship-building skills, is required. Experience designing and implementing cost optimization processes and metrics, including leading budget/planning cycles and reporting to executives, is also necessary.

Responsibilities

The Staff Technical Program Manager will lead the planning, tracking, and reporting of engineering execution across a large organization, driving cloud cost efficiency and capacity planning initiatives by partnering with teams across AV engineering, infrastructure, product, and finance. Responsibilities include owning cross-departmental technical programs to ensure cloud resource provisioning, deployment milestones, and ongoing performance align with business needs and budgetary objectives. The role involves developing, communicating, and executing quarterly and annual roadmaps for cloud infrastructure, prioritizing cost optimization, resource efficiency, and resolving performance bottlenecks. Additionally, the TPM will continually improve processes for proactive capacity management, standardize and publish engineering KPIs for cloud efficiency and cost, assess and mitigate risks related to cloud scalability, system performance limitations, and cost overages, and collaborate with SRE and other groups to drive targeted improvements. The TPM will also serve as a primary technical point of contact for CPE programs, translating technical requirements into actionable plans, tracking dependencies, and ensuring executive-level transparency for progress, risks, and results.
