You’ll work directly with engineering directors, platform leads, and cross-functional stakeholders to drive programs that span multiple teams — ensuring alignment, surfacing blockers, and keeping high-priority initiatives moving. This is not a coordination role. You’ll be expected to develop deep technical fluency in a modern platform engineering environment — including infrastructure, developer experience, and cloud-native systems — and use that fluency to ask better questions, identify risks early, and translate complex technical work into clear executive narratives. WHAT YOU’LL DO Program Delivery Own end-to-end delivery of large, multi-team technical programs across platform infrastructure, developer experience, and cloud enablement.Define program structure, milestones, dependencies, and success criteria in collaboration with engineering and product leads.Maintain a current view of program health; proactively surface risks, dependencies, and blockers to the right stakeholders at the right time.Drive accountability without authority — build trust with engineering teams while holding commitments firm. Technical Engagement Develop working fluency in platform technologies (Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure) to engage credibly with engineers and leads.Participate in architecture reviews, sprint ceremonies, and design discussions — not as a scribe, but as a contributor to program-level thinking.Identify technical debt and complexity that creates delivery risk; help shape sequencing decisions accordingly. Stakeholder Communication Translate program status and engineering progress into clear, concise communication for senior leadership and non-technical stakeholders.Prepare and facilitate executive-level program reviews, QBRs, and steering committee meetings.Build and maintain strong relationships with engineering leads, product managers, and business partners across the organization. Process & Operational Excellence Identify gaps in how programs are planned, tracked, or communicated — and drive improvements without adding bureaucratic overhead.Support the development and adoption of program management frameworks, templates, and tooling across a platform engineering organization.Contribute to the OKR process by helping teams translate strategic intent into measurable, deliverable outcomes. WHAT YOU BRING Required 5+ years of program or project management experience in a software engineering or infrastructure environment.Demonstrated ability to manage large, complex programs spanning multiple engineering teams with competing priorities.Strong technical background — you don’t need to write production code, but you must be able to engage deeply with engineers on technical tradeoffs, architecture decisions, and delivery constraints.Excellent written and verbal communication; proven ability to tailor message and level of detail to the audience.Experience working in agile/scrum environments; comfortable with Jira, Confluence, and similar tools.Proven track record of operating effectively in matrixed organizations with distributed, cross-functional teams. Preferred Experience in IoT, connected systems, or cloud-native platform engineering environments.Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), container orchestration (Kubernetes), or GitOps (ArgoCD).Experience driving developer experience (DevEx), developer productivity, or internal platform initiatives.PMP, PMI-ACP, SAFe, or equivalent certification.Background in building internal platform-as-a-product programs or developer self-service tooling.","company":"Scigon","rawCompany":"scigon","city":"Oak Brook","state":"IL","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-07-01T10:15:14.818Z","occupations":[{"code":"15-1299.09","title":"Information Technology Project Managers","slug":"information-technology-project-managers"},{"code":"13-1082.00","title":"Project Management Specialists","slug":"project-management-specialists"},{"code":"15-1252.00","title":"Software Developers","slug":"software-developers"}],"industries":[{"code":"541512","title":"Computer Systems Design Services","slug":"computer-systems-design-services"},{"code":"541511","title":"Custom Computer Programming Services","slug":"custom-computer-programming-services"},{"code":"513210","title":"Software Publishers","slug":"software-publishers"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Technical Program Manager","description":"a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb;}tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;}tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5;} Technical Program Manager a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb;}tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;}tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5;} Salary: $101,250-$135,000 We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager who thrives at the intersection of engineering complexity and organizational clarity.
