Job summary

TechConnect in BSD, Tangerang is seeking a Technical Program Manager to own delivery across multiple engineering programs and drive milestones end-to-end.

You will partner with technical leads to clarify architecture, manage risks, dependencies, and release constraints, and deliver production-ready plans. This 24-month fixed-term, onsite role demands strong communication and leadership across backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Proven experience leading complex, multi-team engineering programs end-to-end.
• Strong understanding of software development lifecycles, system design, distributed systems, APIs, data flows, cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, QA automation, and modern engineering practices.

Responsibilities

• Own delivery execution across multiple concurrent engineering programs or large-scale technical initiatives.
• Drive technical program planning, milestone definition, sequencing, and execution tracking across engineering teams.
• Partner with technical leads to clarify architecture decisions, system dependencies, API contracts, data flows, migration plans, and release constraints.
• Identify, track, and actively mitigate technical, delivery, security, quality, and dependency risks before they become blockers.
• Serve as the primary escalation point for delivery risks, unresolved technical dependencies, scope trade-offs, and cross-team execution issues within Engineering.
• Coordinate cross-team and cross-functional dependencies across backend, frontend, QA, DevOps, infrastructure, data, security, and product stakeholders.
• Ensure engineering execution aligns with product priorities, business objectives, technical strategy, and production-readiness standards.
• Drive technical readiness reviews for major releases, including test coverage, observability, rollout plans, rollback strategy, incident readiness, and operational handover.
• Track practical developer-productivity improvements, including CI/CD, documentation, release process, and selective AI-assisted workflows, using delivery, quality, and adoption metrics.
• Provide clear, data-driven delivery updates to engineering and executive leadership.
• Establish, standardize, and continuously improve program and delivery management practices.
• Create an environment of high trust and credibility with Engineering, Product, and executive leadership.
