Job description

We are looking for a Project Manager who can drive execution end-to-end, coordinate across engineering teams, and understand system architecture well enough to challenge and refine decisions.

This is a hands-on execution role, not a reporting-only PM position.

Execution Ownership
- Own end-to-end delivery of product modules (planning execution release)
- Break down product requirements into technical tasks, milestones, and sprint plans
- Track progress, identify risks, and ensure timely delivery

Technical Coordination

- Translate business requirements into technical deliverables
- Participate in architecture discussions and validate feasibility

Architecture Awareness (Important)
- Understand system design concepts such as:
- Microservices vs monolith
- APIs, integrations, and data flow
- Cloud-based deployments (AWS/Azure/GCP)
- Review technical estimates and challenge assumptions where needed

Agile & Process Management




- Drive Agile/Scrum execution (sprint planning, standups, retrospectives)
- Ensure proper usage of tools like:
- Jira
- Confluence
- Maintain clear documentation, sprint metrics, and reporting

Risk & Dependency Management
- Identify delivery risks early and drive mitigation
- Manage inter-team dependencies (frontend/backend/AI)
- Escalate issues proactively with solutions

Stakeholder Communication
- Act as the bridge between product, engineering, and leadership
- Provide clear updates on progress, blockers, and timelines

Required Skills & Experience
- 4 to 6 years experience in software development project management
- Solid understanding of SDLC and Agile methodologies
- Hands-on exposure to:
- APIs, backend systems, and frontend workflows
- Cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP basics)
- Ability to read and understand technical discussions (no coding required, but tech fluency is critical)
- Experience managing cross-functional engine
