Technical Program / Product Manager (TPM)

Responsibilities

• Turn ambiguous ML, engineering, and product priorities into scoped, sequenced work engineers can actually execute against.
• Write specs and scoping docs that hold up: understanding real tradeoffs like training data quality, inference latency, retraining cadence, and infra cost well enough to capture them accurately.
• Run the cadence: standups, sprint planning, model review syncs (but only the ones that earn their seat).
• Give exec a weekly read on what shipped, what's at risk, and what decision you need from them, in a form that takes three minutes, not thirty.

Requirements

• Experience as a Technical Program Manager, Program Manager, Product Manager, or similar role supporting a software engineering organization.
• Enough technical fluency to understand APIs, data models, system integrations, cloud infrastructure, release processes, and software dependencies.
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities and requirements can change.
• Excellent attention to detail, especially around ownership, dependencies, timelines, and unresolved decisions.

Preferred

• Prior experience at an early-stage startup with no existing PM function to inherit. You've built the system, not just run one.
• Familiarity with mobile and web release processes, feature flags, staged rollouts, and production monitoring.
• Experience supporting infrastructure, security, data, or machine learning initiatives.
• Comfort reading SQL, logs, dashboards, or technical documentation to validate a claim independently.
• Familiarity with tools such as Linear, Notion, GitHub, Datadog, and Slack.

About the Role

Bree’s engineering team works across customer-facing products, regulatory expansion, payments, infrastructure, security, data, and machine learning. As the company grows, the work increasingly spans multiple teams and requires clearer ownership, sequencing, and communication.

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to help turn company priorities into well-defined engineering programs and carry them through to release.

You will work closely with Engineering, Product, Design, CX, Operations, Legal, and leadership. You will help clarify the problem, break large initiatives into manageable workstreams, identify dependencies, establish ownership, and make sure decisions and risks remain visible.

This is not a meeting coordinator or status-reporting role. You should be technical enough to understand how an API, database migration, mobile release, third-party integration, or model change affects a project. You will not be expected to write production code, but you will be expected to ask the questions that help the team make better decisions.

What You'll Do

Catch drift early - a model underperforming in validation, a pipeline with a data quality issue, a deploy stuck behind a monitoring gap - before it becomes a missed deadline.

What You'll Need

An AI-native working style, using tools to accelerate research, documentation, meeting synthesis, backlog management, and status reporting while validating the output.
