We are a lean, high-impact team of 75+ technologists, backed by leaders with deep experience across startups and global enterprises. We build strong, outcome-driven engineering teams that solve complex, real-world problems.

From GenAI applications and data platforms to enterprise-grade SaaS, we deliver scalable, reliable, production-ready systems. Our expertise spans AI/ML, RAG systems, agentic workflows and large-scale data engineering - enabling businesses to move from idea to production with speed and confidence.

Our teams operate as a true extension of our clients, with full ownership and flexible engagement models focused on measurable business outcomes - not just delivery.

With 80+ AI implementations and proven success in scaling dedicated teams and driving significant cost efficiencies, we partner for long-term impact.

We bring experience across B2B and B2C SaaS, web and mobile platforms, e-commerce and domains such as Conversational AI, HealthTech, IoT, ESG/Energy and Data Engineering - thriving in fast-paced, high-ownership environments.

The Vision:

To be the most trusted AI-native product engineering partner for innovative software companies worldwide delivering ownership, speed and measurable outcomes.

The Opportunity:

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM), you will own end-to-end delivery of complex SaaS / Data / GenAI programs, ensuring alignment between business goals, architecture and execution.

This is not a coordination role - you are expected to bring technical depth, strong execution rigor and ownership to drive high-quality, scalable, production-ready systems.

Key Responsibilities:

- Own end-to-end delivery of SaaS / GenAI / Data programs (scope, estimation, timelines, quality and business outcomes)
- Translate ambiguous customer requirements into clear user stories, execution plans and aligned architecture direction
- Drive execution across backend (Node.js) and frontend (React) ensuring scalable, reliable, event-driven, production-ready systems
- Participate in architecture discussions, validate design decisions and drive technical trade-offs with engineering teams
- Drive adoption of modern engineering practices (microservices, event-driven, data engineering), CI/CD, DevOps and cloud architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP)
- Ensure strong observability (logging,



monitoring, tracing) and promote shift-left practices (testing, security, code quality, automation) along with AI-assisted development (Copilot, Claude)
- Validate estimates, plan, capacity and mentor teams on Agile and engineering best practices and support solutioning and pre-sales efforts
- Establish strong delivery governance including sprint planning, tracking, release management and continuous improvement
- Define and enforce Definition of Done, Definition of Ready, release governance and quality gates
- Track delivery health metrics (velocity, predictability, defects, cycle time, lead time) and drive data-driven decisions
- Identify and mitigate delivery, technical and resourcing risks proactively
- Manage cross-team dependencies and unblock teams to ensure smooth execution
- Act as primary customer interface; manage expectations, communication, escalations and align delivery with business outcomes
- Provide regular program updates, insights and risk visibility to stakeholders
- Identify opportunities for optimization, automation and account expansion
- Highly resourceful, with the ability to manage resourcing effectively and plan projects from scratch

Requirements:

- BE/MS in Computer Science or related field with 8+ years of experience in engineering and program delivery
- Well-grounded understanding of backend systems, APIs, and microservices architecture (Node.js preferred)
- Working knowledge of frontend (React) and modern web/mobile architectures
- Practical exposure to cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP), including deployment, scaling, and system design basics
- Working understanding of system design principles, including scalability, reliability, fault tolerance, and performance optimization
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices and production system management
- Strong exposure to Agile/Scrum delivery, estimation techniques and program execution
- Proven ability to work closely with engineering teams and participate in architecture and technical discussions
- Experience working with global customers (US/EU) in a client-facing role
- Experience using AI tools (Copilot, Claude, etc.) for development productivity and engineering acceleration




- Strong analytical thinking and structured problem-solving ability
- Excellent written and verbal communication across engineering, business and customer stakeholders
- High ownership, reliability and execution focus; ability to deliver in ambiguous and fast-paced environments
- Ability to manage multiple workstreams, dependencies and stakeholders effectively
- Strong attention to detail while maintaining a clear, big-picture perspective

Good to have skills:

- Hands-on multi stack experience across enterprise Java & Python and/or Golang, Rust is a big plus
- Hands-on experience with AWS/GCP/Azure services, scaling strategies, cost optimization and cloud-native architectures
- Ability to evaluate and guide system architecture, including microservices, event-driven systems and distributed design patterns
- Experience with data platforms (ETL, Databricks, distributed systems) and contemporary data architectures is a strong plus
- Apply understanding of performance optimization (caching, bottlenecks) and basic security best practices
- Drive execution across mobile (React Native) and data platforms.
- Experience in designing high-scale, fault-tolerant and performant systems with clear trade-off analysis
- Familiarity with data platforms (Databricks, lakehouse architectures) and basic understanding of GenAI / LLM use cases (RAG, copilots)
- Exposure to infrastructure as code, monitoring, alerting, incident management and reliability engineering

Benefits/Culture @ Digit88:

- Comprehensive insurance coverage (Life, Health, Accident, parents and in-laws are optional)
- Flexible work model focused on outcomes
- Accelerated learning with non-linear growth opportunities
- Flat organization with high ownership & accountability
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI and SaaS products with global customers (primarily North America, Australia, EU and UAE)
- Accomplished Global Peers - Working with some of the best engineers/professionals globally from the likes of Apple, Amazon, IBM Research, Adobe and other innovative product companies
- Direct exposure to building and scaling real-world systems across Conversational AI, Energy/Utilities, ESG, HealthTech, IoT and more
- High-impact roles with the ability to influence product, architecture and business outcomes globally
