Do you like to bring order to chaos by working with a team of talented, uplifting people? We are seeking a software technical program manager to help us organize, track, and prioritize our software efforts. This is an intensely collaborative position, and while it’s very remote-friendly, candidates must be able to work a US Pacific timezone schedule.
As a software program manager working at Oxide, you will:
Collaborate with other functions across hardware and software engineering to understand the dependencies between work streams and implement best practices around program management
Work with internal stakeholders on product software development priorities, schedule, and tradeoffs – clarify product software goals more than manage activity towards unclear goals
Organize and communicate software release processes such as scheduling, planning, and testing cycles. Support teams in identifying and mitigating blockers and risks
Nimbly manage projects large and small as we scale our software team across products and drive feature enhancements
Communicate regularly with customer facing teams to ensure transparency in plans and progress towards customer priorities. Adjust plans thoughtfully as priorities change
Contribute to process documentation and help maintain the accuracy of data in our program management tools. Make recommendations to improve our ways of working
Contribute to other areas of the product that interest you–beyond your day-to-day program management duties
You will thrive in this role if you:
Have previously worked with complex software deliverables involving multiple teams
Are a people person who can drive clear communication within engineering teams and between engineering teams and the rest of the company
Can work hours that corresponding to working hours in the US Pacific timezone
Are energized by the thought of operating between traditional roles and silos
Enjoy organizing and aren’t intimidated by ambiguity
Value the written word, can concisely communicate in written form
Get excited about a wide range of technical topics and dig really deeply into them
Before applying for the role, you should:
Learn enough about our product to understand what we’re building
Listen to "Hiring Processes with Gergely Orosz" to familiarize yourself with the Oxide hiring process.
Listen to some of our episodes of Oxide and Friends to get a sense for how we operate. A few recommendations:
RFDs: The Backbone of Oxide on how we got to our writing-intensive culture
Cultural Idiosyncrasies on the (many?) unusual aspects of Oxide’s culture
RTO or GTFO on why Oxide is a remote-first company
