We’re seeking a Software Project Manager who is passionate about driving clarity and delivering complex software initiatives. If you’re a proactive communicator who excels at orchestrating cross-functional teams, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
As a Software Project Manager, you’ll own projects end-to-end — from planning and execution to delivery — ensuring teams stay aligned, and projects move forward smoothly. You’ll be the go-to person for keeping scope, timelines, and stakeholders in sync.
Manage multiple software development projects from initiation through successful delivery.
Create and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, and resource allocation.
Coordinate communication between the client team, engineering, and other stakeholders.
Proactively identify and mitigate project risks, dependencies, and blockers.
Review and update our project management system (Linear) and escalate major blockers or risks to ensure the projects stay on time.
Run agile ceremonies: sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, backlog grooming.
Track and report project progress, KPIs, and milestones to leadership and stakeholders.
Drive collaboration across distributed teams spanning multiple time zones.
Champion best practices in software development and agile project management.
Who You Are
You’re a confident, detail-oriented project manager who thrives in technical environments.
You can translate between technical and non-technical teams, keep everyone aligned, and deliver on time — even in complex, fast-paced environments.
Availability to work core hours: 9 AM – 6 PM EST.
What You Bring:
Experience managing projects in multiple domains: fintech, blockchain, AI/ML, SaaS, data science, and open-source.
A Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a technical field, or the equivalent
5+ years of experience managing technical software projects in agile environments.
Strong knowledge of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, etc.)
Experience of using tools such as Linear are nice to haves
Proven ability to manage distributed, fully remote teams and coordinate across time zones.
Exceptional communication, organizational, relationship management, and influencing skills.
Technical literacy and the ability to collaborate closely with engineering teams.
