Key Responsibilities

  • Drive Software Project Execution
  • Lead planning and execution for key software initiatives, including project schedules, milestones, dependencies, deliverables, and execution status. Partner closely with software engineering leaders to ensure work is prioritized, tracked, and delivered effectively.
  • Drive Software Execution for Next-Generation Products
  • Own the software schedules, deliverables, and dependencies that support next-generation product milestones. Track commitments flowing in both directions between software, firmware, hardware, and platform teams, and surface scope, schedule, and integration tradeoffs early so they are resolved by the right decision makers.
  • Drive Cross-Functional Software Project Alignment
  • Partner with teams across the software delivery lifecycle, including development, test, DevOps, firmware, hardware, platform and systems engineering, and field organizations. Drive alignment on priorities, dependencies, risks, release readiness, and customer commitments to ensure coordinated execution across projects.
  • Support Release Planning and Readiness
  • Partner with engineering and product teams to plan software releases, track release scope, coordinate readiness reviews, manage defects and issue visibility, and support go/no-go decision-making.
  • Provide Visibility and Operating Cadence
  • Establish and maintain clear dashboards, status reporting, risk registers, milestone tracking, and communication rhythms. Provide concise updates to engineering leadership and executives on progress, risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs.
  • Coordinate Customer-Impacting Issues
  • Drive visibility and follow-through on customer-facing software issues, escalations, and commitments. Work with engineering, support, product, and field teams to track ownership, mitigation plans, and resolution status.
  • Improve Engineering Operations
  • Identify opportunities to improve planning, Jira workflows, release tracking, status reporting, bug triage, dependency management, and overall engineering execution. Implement practical, lightweight processes that improve predictability without creating unnecessary overhead.
  • Facilitate Prioritization and Tradeoff Discussions
  • Help teams evaluate competing priorities, resource constraints, schedule risks, and customer commitments. Ensure decision points are surfaced clearly and resolved with the right stakeholders.
  • Maintain Project Artifacts and Decision Records
  • Ensure project plans, schedules, risks, decisions, dependencies, and execution status are documented and accessible. Partner with engineering and architecture teams to ensure technical documentation of ownership remains clear.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in software project management, including direct ownership of schedules, dependencies, and release execution.
  • Experience supporting high-performance computing (HPC), AI/ML infrastructure, or other performance-critical systems environments.
  • Experience coordinating software deliverables against hardware or platform schedules, including bring-up, integration, and system-level milestones.
  • Strong knowledge of modern methodologies, AI workflows, and proficiency with tools such as Jira and Confluence.
  • Excellent communication and coordination skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience).
