Technical Program Manager (TPM) - Hybrid Cloud Storage

About the role

Qumulo ships fast, with many new releases throughout the year, and a lot has to line up to make that happen: API work, dependent components from multiple teams, 3rd party integrations, metrics, sales, marketing, and even pricing all depend on each other. You'll own the cross-functional picture: who's building what, what depends on what, and where things are slipping before they become a problem. A big part of the job is working with our cloud and technology partners to line up timelines and hold external commitments on track.

Responsibilities

• Track deliverables and dependencies across engineering, product, pricing, metrics, and marketing, and keep that cross-functional picture current
• Spot slips early, push on soft estimates, and tell a real delay from wishful thinking
• Coordinate with cloud and technology partners on timing and availability, and line up their commitments with our roadmap
• Keep epics, stories, and Jira honest and current so everyone works from the same plan
• Surface the right tradeoffs to engineering leaders when timelines collide, rather than leaving teams to sort it out one conversation at a time
• Bring structure and ownership to a function that hasn't had a dedicated owner before

Requirements

• Experience running highly technical software and hardware programs with heavy cross-functional dependencies
• Familiarity with modern scrum and agile practices
• A strong anti-BS instinct, with enough technical depth to know when an estimate or a "that's hard" doesn't add up
• Background in cloud or storage, and a proven ability to pick up a complex technical domain quickly
• A genuine hunger to learn, and comfort using modern AI tools to get up to speed on unfamiliar systems fast
• Clear, direct communication with engineers and external partners alike
• The willingness to hold people to their commitments and chase down what's slipping

Qualifications

• The annual pay range for the role is USD $125,000 - $200,000. Individual pay depends on various factors, such as role level, relevant experience, and skills.
