Technical Project Manager

About the role

Coder is looking for an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to lead and shape our most complex, high-stakes engineering programs. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, setting the standard for program execution across the organization and acting as a trusted partner to senior engineering and product leadership. The role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: you'll own the definition, cross-functional planning, and delivery of initiatives that span multiple teams and systems, and give leadership the visibility they need to steer. Coder is the leading platform for AI development Infrastructure, enabling enterprises to securely run human and AI-driven development workflows in consistent, governed environments. Coder provides self-hosted, agent-ready workspaces that unify developer productivity and platform governance. With Coder, enterprises can confidently evolve from human-only development to AI-assisted and autonomous workflows, without sacrificing security, compliance, or performance.

Responsibilities

• Own engineering programs end to end, from definition through delivery and iteration, across teams that don't report to one another
• Own scope, milestones, timelines, dependencies, and risk, driving trade-offs to a written decision and holding accountability for delivery
• Work hands-on with engineers and product managers, close enough to the work to influence architectural and interface decisions
• Serve as the central coordination point across engineering, product, design, security, and go-to-market
• Run the operating cadence and deliver crisp updates on program health, risks, and trade-offs to technical, executive, and customer stakeholders
• Improve engineering productivity through better tooling and light-weight process, including AI-native tooling and our own product

Requirements

• 7+ years in technical program management, including complex multi-team programs where no single team owned the whole outcome
• Deep technical intuition—you can read a design doc, ask the question that exposes the unstated assumption, and argue sequencing with a staff engineer
• A track record of delivering at scale, including ownership of a dated external commitment such as a GA, a launch, or a regulated enterprise deadline
• Strong organizational influence; you set the agenda with minimal oversight and move teams that don't report to you, without being slowed down by ambiguity or competing priorities
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, effective with technical and executive audiences alike
• Judgment to bring just enough process to move fast without losing rigor, and the discipline to remove what isn't working

Skills

• Backend: Go, Postgres, GCP, Kubernetes, gRPC
• Frontend: TypeScript, React, Vite
• IDE Extensions: TypeScript, Kotlin
• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions
• General: GitHub, Slack, Discord, Notion
