Job description

About Gigs

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.

Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.

Our team of around 150 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.

If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.

Things We Care About

We are building in a highly complex space and tackling a massive problem. We want people who lean in when things get hard.

• Speed. We move and we ship. We set bold deadlines and treat every week like it matters.
• Ownership. If you see something broken, fix it. We don't wait for permission.
• Customer Obsession. Our customers' product is our product.
• Ambiguity. We're building frontier technology in a complex domain. You'll need sound judgement and good instincts to make decisions without complete information.
• First principles. We don't ask how things have been done before. We ask why they were done that way at all.

The Role

Gigs is opening new markets faster than at any point in its history, and every one of them starts the same way: integrating a Mobile Network Operator, the carrier whose network our product runs on. Every carrier integration is a program spanning technical build, commercial alignment, and regulatory compliance across teams inside and out. Owning the mechanics of how we integrate and upgrade carrier integrations is the job.

You'll sit inside a dedicated integration squad alongside a Network Product Manager, Network Engineers, and Connectivity Operations. You're the one who gets into the weeds: reading a carrier's API and network documentation to work out what's actually supported, scoping the integration, and driving it end-to-end from signed contract to live traffic, chasing down and resolving whatever blocks it along the way.

Technical Project Management, Carrier Integration is a new function at Gigs, still early enough that the team, tools, and playbook are being built as we go. That means being hands-on from day one: technical enough to read a carrier's API documentation, sit in architecture conversations with Engineering as a peer, and make the calls that keep an integration on time, while also helping shape how this role and the function work as we scale into new markets.

What You Will Do

• Orchestrate the integration program. Master timelines, carrier status trackers, risk and decision logs, and launch-readiness checklists, the single source of truth for every integration. You own the playbook.
• Set the pace for the whole squad. Internal teams and the carrier run on the same plan, and you hold both accountable to it.
• Own delivery end-to-end. Track milestones, dependencies, and risk across an integration build, and drive resolution across Product, Engineering, and Connectivity Operations, not just report status.
• Partner with Engineering as a technical peer. Understand API contracts, eSIM/interconnect flows, and network configuration well enough to ask the right questions in architecture discussions and unblock decisions.
• Turn carrier documentation into an execution plan. Read a carrier's technical specs and API docs directly, and translate them into a clear, sequenced build plan the cross-functional integration team can run against.
• Run technical alignment, not just meetings. Agendas, decision logs, and follow-through matter, but the value is spotting a technical or timeline risk before it becomes a blocker.
• Be the connective tissue. Across Gigs, the carrier, and third-party vendors: elevate the right thing to the right person at the right time.
• Help build the playbook. As an early hire into the function, shape the tools, templates, and process for how Gigs runs carrier integrations technically, rather than inheriting one.

What You Will Need

• 5+ years in a technical program/project management, technical delivery, or solutions/partner engineering role at a technology company, with hands-on experience running API-based integrations.
• Comfortable reading API documentation and technical specs directly, and able to hold a substantive technical conversation with engineers about architecture and tradeoffs, not just relay one.
• A track record of owning ambiguous, multi-stakeholder builds end-to-end, including external partners, from kickoff to launch.
• A sharp, structured communicator who can drive alignment across Engineering, Product, and external carrier or vendor stakeholders, including at leadership level.
• A bias to unblock: you spot risk early and drive it to resolution rather than elevate and wait.
• Energized by building something from scratch. This is a new function, and you'll help define how it works, not just execute an existing playbook.

Nice to have:

• Prior exposure to telecom, MVNO, eSIM, or carrier/network operator ecosystems (not required).

Work At Gigs

At Gigs, we value in-person collaboration. We believe the best ideas, decisions, and relationships are built when teams spend meaningful time together, and our culture is designed around that belief.

You should expect regular time in one of our hubs, as well as occasional travel for team workshops, customer meetings, and Gigs Republic, our bi-annual company off-site. Our offices are designed to feel like home-inspired workspaces, with plants, thoughtful tools, and small, tight-knit teams that make collaboration feel natural, energizing, and effective.

What We Offer

At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth. We also provide stipends for your home office or work setup, a budget for learning and development to fuel your career, and of course, a free phone and international data plan
