Role Overview

The Technical Project Manager will establish operational excellence across our engineering organization, transforming how we plan, track, and deliver software. As we scale rapidly, our project management infrastructure needs to evolve from startup chaos to disciplined execution without sacrificing velocity. You'll work directly with the Senior Engineering Manager and engineering leads to bring structure to Linear, implement sustainable task management practices, establish reliable metrics, and create visibility that enables data-driven decision making. This role requires both technical credibility to earn engineers' respect and the assertiveness to enforce standards that keep us shipping predictably.

Key Responsibilities

• Linear Ownership : Serve as the primary owner of our Linear workspace, ensuring it accurately reflects reality at all times. Audit existing tasks, establish hygiene standards, and maintain the system as our single source of truth for all engineering work.
• Task Breakdown Facilitation : Work with engineering leads to decompose large epics into properly scoped, shippable work items. Establish standards for task sizing (2-5 day completions) and ensure consistent application across teams.
• Metrics and Reporting : Design and maintain engineering health metrics including cycle time, lead time, PR age, task completion rates, and delivery predictability. Build dashboards that provide actionable insights to leadership without overwhelming engineers.
• Process Implementation : Establish and enforce standards for task creation, updates, and closure. Create documentation, run training sessions, and ensure team-wide adoption of best practices.
• Project Execution : Track projects from conception through delivery, identifying blockers early and coordinating across backend, frontend, and AI engineering teams to ensure timely completion.
• Planning Facilitation : Run sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives with engineering teams. Ensure planning sessions are efficient, focused, and result in actionable, well-defined work.
• Cross-Team Coordination : Manage dependencies between teams, ensuring visibility and proper sequencing of work. Facilitate communication between engineering, product, and infrastructure teams.
• Stakeholder Communication : Translate engineering progress to non-technical stakeholders, providing clear project status updates and timeline visibility without creating reporting overhead for engineers.
