This is not a traditional project coordination role.

We are looking for someone who can combine technical understanding, structured thinking, execution ownership, strong communication, and deep use of AI tools to help teams move from ideas and requirements to well-planned, well-executed, and clearly communicated outcomes.

The TPM will work closely with engineering, QA, product, design, business teams, external partners, and leadership.

• Approximately 4 years of experience in technical project/program management, product delivery, business analysis, or software delivery.
• Strong experience working with software engineering teams.
• Good understanding of modern application architecture and software development workflows.
• Experience managing multiple technology initiatives in parallel.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum or similar delivery approaches.
• Strong requirement-gathering and documentation skills.
• Experience with BRDs, PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional specifications.
• Comfortable using AI-assisted tools extensively in day-to-day work.
• Experience with project-management platforms such as Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Azure DevOps, or similar tools is expected.

Good to have skill

• SaaS or consumer technology products
• AI / LLM-based applications
• Mobile applications, Web applications, API-driven systems, Ecommerce, ERP systems
• CI/CD, QA and release management, Technical Business Analysis, Software development or QA background

What You'll Own

You will be responsible for driving technology initiatives from requirement discussion through planning, execution, release, and stakeholder communication.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Work closely with the CTO on technology priorities, projects, and delivery planning.
• Convert discussions and requirements into clear project plans, milestones, tasks, dependencies, and deliverables.
• Coordinate developers, QA engineers, designers, product teams, vendors, and business stakeholders.
• Own sprint planning, backlog management, task tracking, status visibility, and delivery follow-ups.
• Identify risks, blockers, dependencies, and missing decisions early.
• Ensure requirements are clear before they reach development.
• Help prepare and maintain BRDs, PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional documentation.
• Break complex requirements into structured and actionable workstreams.
• Coordinate QA, UAT, release planning, and production rollouts.
• Maintain clear project documentation, decision logs, and release notes.
• Drive follow-ups and ensure action items are closed.
• Maintain visibility across multiple parallel projects and priorities.
• Own and continuously improve the project-management tools and workflows used by the technology team.
• Prepare project and technology status updates for leadership and other stakeholders.
• Present completed work, releases, progress, risks, and upcoming plans clearly to business stakeholders.

Technical Thinking

This role requires more than tracking tasks.

You should be able to understand modern software systems well enough to participate meaningfully in technical discussions.

You should be comfortable thinking about areas such as:

• Authentication and authorization

• APIs and integrations
• Frontend and backend systems
• Databases
• Mobile applications
• Webhooks
• Background jobs
• Cloud infrastructure
• Environments
• CI/CD
• Logging and monitoring
• Security
• Data flows
• Failure handling
• Third-party integrationsYou are not expected to be the architect or write production code, but you should be able to ask the right questions, identify gaps, understand dependencies, and challenge unclear requirements.

AI-Assisted Working

AI-assisted working is an important part of our engineering culture.

Our team actively uses tools such as Claude Code and Kiro, and we expect the TPM to use AI deeply across day-to-day work.

AI may be used for:

• Requirement analysis
• BRD and PRD preparation
• Identifying missing requirements
• User-story creation
• Acceptance criteria
• Task decomposition
• Technical research
• Understanding APIs and documentation
• Understanding unfamiliar codebases
• Summarizing architecture and system flows
• Risk identification
• Sprint planning
• Meeting summaries
• Decision tracking
• Release notes
• Stakeholder updates
• Presentations
• Project documentation
• Root-cause-analysis supportThe candidate should be comfortable using AI to improve speed and quality while independently validating outputs and applying sound judgment.

Experience with Claude Code, Kiro, or similar AI-assisted engineering tools is an advantage.

Project & Delivery Management

You will own the operating rhythm of technology projects.

This includes:

• Project planning
• Sprint planning
• Backlog management
• Epics and user stories
• Prioritization
• Dependencies
• Blockers
• Risks
• Milestones
• Delivery timelines
• Release planning
• Project status
• Decision logs
• Documentation
• Follow-ups
• Cross-team coordinationYou should ensure that the project-management system reflects the actual state of work, rather than becoming a passive task list.

Prioritization & Decision Support

You should be able to distinguish between tasks based on:

• Customer impact
• Business impact
• Technical risk
• Urgency
• Dependencies
• Security
• Delivery effort
• Release impactYou will work with the CTO and stakeholders to help teams focus on the right work at the right time.

Stakeholder Communication

Strong communication is a critical part of this role.

You should be able to communicate effectively with different audiences.

For engineering teams, you should be able to discuss technical dependencies, blockers, and implementation concerns.

For leadership and business teams, you should be able to communicate:

• What is being built
• Why it matters
• Current status
• What has been completed
• What is blocked
• Key risks
• Expected next stepsYou should be comfortable preparing and delivering clear presentations and status updates to stakeholders.

Who Will Do Well in This Role

You will be a strong fit if you naturally ask:

• Is this requirement clear enough to develop?
• What decisions are still missing?
• What systems will this change affect?
• Are there security, permission, or data-flow implications?
• What are the dependencies?
• What could block this release?
• What should be prioritized first?
• How will QA validate this?
• What happens if something fails?
• Does everyone understand what is being delivered?
• Is the project status visible and accurate?We are looking for someone who does more than track tasks.

We need someone who can think, structure, challenge, coordinate, communicate, and drive technology initiatives to completion.

Why This Role

You will work closely with the CTO and have visibility across multiple technology initiatives at Decode Age.

You will have the opportunity to influence how we plan, execute, communicate, and improve technology delivery across the organization.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys operating at the intersection of:

Technology × Execution × Product Thinking × Communication × AI
