Technical Product Manager

We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to help us evolve our array of internal services, build and deployment tooling, and cloud infrastructure into a compelling internal product that enables our numerous product and editorial teams to accelerate their rate of development and delivery, while also improving the security and reliability of our systems. This position reports to the Director of Engineering.

The ideal candidate for this role is obsessed with customer and developer experience and loves to dig into tough problems at the intersection of people, process, and technology. They get excited about transformative technology, love well-designed interfaces (APIs, CLIs, GUIs, IaC) and developing metrics for complex systems, and are an evangelist for using principles of DevSecOps to drive organizational performance.

· Partner with the engineering manager for the team to align goals, manage organizational impact, and assess and improve team health.

· Work daily with a core team of software engineers, reliability engineers, a database engineer, and a security engineer to define and build solutions.

· Treat internal teams as customers, anticipating their unmet needs, identifying unrealized needs, and creating a feedback loop with them to continuously validate the platform’s usability and direction.

· Develop migration strategies to help teams modernize their systems (technology, process, practice, and organization).

· Resolve gaps in the team’s shared understanding of what they’re building, who it’s for, and why it’s important.

· Continuously define and measure success with standard tools like DORA metrics, SLOs, and OKRs.

· Bring industry-leading processes and thought leadership to product and engineering.

Required qualifications:

· 8+ years of experience in an engineering and/or product role.

· Employment eligibility to work in the US is required.

· Must be able to work full business hours.
