Senior Technical Program Manager: Cross‑Team Delivery Leader

Coder; Northern (KY); Hybrid; USD 140,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

Coder is seeking an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to lead and shape our most complex engineering programs. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, owning definition, cross-functional planning, and delivery across teams and systems, while giving leadership visibility to steer initiatives.

You will drive scope, milestones, dependencies, and risk, and serve as the central coordination point across engineering, product, design, security, and go-to-market.

Qualifications

• 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.

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
