About Snap Inc.

A proven track record of leading large-scale, ambiguous programs across distributed teams in fast-paced, cross-functional environments, especially in the areas of improving platform reliability, operational stability and performance of production systems

Responsibilities

• Operate as a single-threaded owner (STO) for the most critical programs, managing ambiguity, dependencies, and alignment across diverse technical teams.
• Use hands-on data analytics (Python, SQL, dashboards, notebooks) to guide programs with data, uncover insights, and communicate clearly with senior stakeholders.
• Experience working directly with engineers and contributing to technical design, architectural trade-offs, and roadmap planning

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience spanning Engineering / Data Science / Technical Program Management leading cross-functional efforts in the software or tech industry in a data-driven environment
• Excellent communication, organizational, and leadership skills
• Bachelor's in a technical field such as computer science, mathematics, statistics or equivalent years of experience

3+ years of experience in Technical Program Management

• Demonstrated ability to quickly learn new domains, systems, and technologies
• The most successful TPMs possess the ability to grasp new concepts quickly, navigate technical complexity, and adapt in fast-moving environments. This role is ideal for former engineers or data scientists who have evolved into program leaders without leaving their technical roots behind
• Experience with data visualization tools (e.g. Grafana, Looker, Tableau) building dashboards, source control (e.g. GitHub), ticket management (e.g. JIRA)
• Strong proficiency with Python and SQL, and experience using data to analyze systems, build tools, or inform decisions
• Comfort operating with high visibility and accountability; you thrive on ownership and impact

A background in software engineering, infrastructure systems

• Background in building internal tools or developer platforms to improve engineering velocity and system reliability
• Exposure to high-scale consumer technology or social platforms with strong privacy, performance, or safety requirements
• Strong storytelling and presentation skills—especially with senior engineering or executive audiences
• Masters or PhD in a highly analytical field
• USD 190,000 - 284,000

Preferred

• Prior hands-on experience with big data technologies such as Spark, Airflow, Hive, Kafka, or Flink
• Experience managing production systems, reliability initiatives, or cost optimization programs
• Familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP) and containerization tools like Kubernetes or Docker
