About the Role
Coder is looking for an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to lead and shape our most complex, high-stakes engineering programs. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, setting the standard for program execution across the organization and acting as a trusted partner to senior engineering and product leadership. The role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: you'll own the definition, cross-functional planning, and delivery of initiatives that span multiple teams and systems, and give leadership the visibility they need to steer.
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

Requirements

- 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
