Technical Program Manager – AI Engineering

About the role

About

We’re building a next-generation financial infrastructure platform powered by AI. Our systems automate complex financial workflows, support institutional trading environments, and power a fully integrated ecosystem for private market assets.

Our engineering organization operates AI-native — developers work with coding agents, automated pipelines, and AI-assisted tooling to move at exceptional speed.

That speed requires a different kind of operator.

We’re hiring a Technical Program Manager who sits directly between business requirements, engineering execution, and production deployment.

This is not a traditional PM role.

You’ll be responsible for translating business requirements into prompt-ready engineering tickets, coordinating execution across teams, and validating releases before they go live.

Think of the role as a blend of:

  • Technical Program Manager
  • Product Operations
  • Engineering Project Manager
  • QA / Release Validation

You will work daily with engineers, designers, and business stakeholders to ensure features ship quickly, correctly, and safely.

What you'll do

  • Translate business requirements into structured Linear tickets for AI-assisted development
  • Work with engineering and design teams to clarify scope and technical requirements
  • Coordinate releases across environments (dev / staging / production)
  • Run smoke tests and validate system behavior before deployment
  • Execute automated test suites built by engineering and QA automation teams
  • Identify regressions and provide clear feedback for rapid resolution
  • Improve the workflow between requirements → engineering → production

What we’re looking for

  • Strong technical intuition — you’re comfortable working closely with engineers
  • Experience with modern development workflows and release cycles
  • Ability to translate ambiguous business ideas into clear technical tasks
  • Experience with manual testing or QA validation
  • Extremely organized with high personal ownership

This role mirrors an existing position on the team and is critical as we scale our engineering organization and increase development velocity.
