Technical Project Manager

Job role : Technical Project Manager


Duration : 6 months contract-to-hire


Location : Remote


Position Overview:


We are looking for a highly technical Project Manager who can work closely with software engineering, product, architecture, DevOps, and technology leadership teams to drive application development, deployments, releases, and modern technology initiatives.


This is not a traditional PMO/business Project Manager role. The ideal candidate understands how modern software engineering teams operate and is technically strong enough to communicate effectively with developers, architects, engineering leaders, and other technical stakeholders.


The environment is increasingly focused on AI enablement and modern development practices, so candidates should be comfortable with technologies and concepts such as Generative AI, LLMs, Claude/Anthropic, AI-assisted software development, Copilot, Cursor, agentic AI, cloud platforms, APIs, CI/CD, and modern application architectures. Candidates do not need to be software developers, but they need to understand the technology and engineering lifecycle.


Key Responsibilities:

• Partner directly with software engineering, product, architecture, QA, DevOps, and technology leadership teams to drive technical projects from planning through production deployment.
• Coordinate software releases and deployments, including timelines, dependencies, environments, testing, production readiness, risks, issues, and post-deployment activities.
• Drive Agile/software development initiatives while maintaining visibility into engineering deliverables, blockers, dependencies, and priorities.
• Support AI enablement and GenAI-related initiatives across the technology organization.
• Work with engineering teams adopting modern AI tools and development practices, potentially including Claude/Anthropic, Copilot, Cursor, LLMs, and AI agents.
• Translate between technical engineering teams and business/product stakeholders without requiring engineers to simplify every technical discussion.
• Manage cross-functional dependencies across software development, infrastructure/cloud, security, product, and business teams.
• Identify risks and roadblocks early and drive issues through resolution.
• Provide clear project status, delivery metrics, risks, and executive-level updates to technology leadership.
• Help improve software delivery processes, release management, communication, and execution across engineering teams.

Ideal Background:

• Strong experience as a Technical Project Manager, Technical Program Manager, Software Delivery Manager, or Engineering Project Manager.
• Recent experience working directly with software engineering/application development teams is critical.
• Strong understanding of the modern SDLC, Agile development, software releases, deployments, CI/CD, APIs, cloud environments, testing, and production delivery.
• Experience supporting AI/GenAI initiatives, LLM-based applications, AI enablement, or AI-assisted software development is highly preferred.
• Exposure to Claude/Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT/OpenAI, agentic AI, or similar modern AI technologies is a major plus.
• Experience delivering SaaS, cloud-based, API-driven, or modern enterprise applications.
• Comfortable interacting with developers, architects, DevOps engineers, Product Owners, engineering managers, and senior technology executives.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills are essential.
• Able to operate independently and drive delivery without becoming overly process/ceremony focused.
• Legal technology, LegalTech, litigation technology, document/workflow platforms, SaaS, or other data-intensive application environments would be beneficial but are not required.
