TL;DR

As the Principal Technical Program Manager for NPI Dev-to-Dev Integration, you will lead technical orchestration between engineering squads and platform teams to ensure seamless integration of new products into our existing ecosystem. Your daily responsibilities include mapping complex dependencies across microservices and infrastructure components, facilitating design reviews, and managing the technical roadmap from early architectural design through General Availability. You will also mitigate risks related to system scalability and security during integration phases, act as an escalation point for cross-team conflicts, and standardize governance processes with KPI tracking. The role requires extensive experience in high-growth software environments, proficiency with Jira, Confluence, and roadmap visualization tools, and a strong understanding of microservices architecture and CI/CD pipelines. Ideal candidates have a background in Q2C processes and SFDC/SAP, and familiarity with NPI processes in SaaS or enterprise software is preferred.

What you'll do

  • Lead technical integration strategy for new product launches across engineering teams.
  • Develop and maintain integrated technical roadmaps from design to General Availability.
  • Facilitate technical discovery sessions to define architecture and data flow between services.
  • Manage technical cutover plans for deprecating or upgrading legacy integrations.
  • Identify and resolve technical bottlenecks during integration of new features.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of Program Management experience in high-growth software engineering environments.
  • Strong understanding of SDLC, microservices architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Exceptional communication skills to work with technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proven ability to break down ambiguous product concepts into structured technical execution plans.
  • Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, roadmap visualization tools; experience with architectural diagramming tools is a plus.
  • Understanding of Q2C processes and SFDC; NPI process experience in SaaS or Enterprise Software environment preferred.
