- 6+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager at a technology company
- Have owned and lead complex, multi-disciplinary, and highly visible technical and operational initiatives for work streams across cross-functional (engineering, product, business), globally distributed teams
- Experience thriving in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, identifying trade-offs, and making decisions with limited information in high-pressure situations. Startup experience at a high-growth company is a plus

- Experience designing and rolling out operational programs or processes that measurably improved the customer or employee experience

- Someone who will take the reins and operate autonomously with a bias for action
- Someone who forms big ideas that are galvanizing; showing that they generate energy and excitement around the impact of those ideas
- Someone who is self-motivated and a lifelong learner
- Someone who thinks into the future - contextualizing tactical decisions around their broader, strategic impact
- Someone who is thoughtful in being collaborative and building a positive team culture with psychological safety
- Someone who is a great storyteller that is clear and concise, and a great listener that is able to understand, process, and act on the needs of a variety of audiences
What the job involves
- Execute: Own and manage multiple complex technical programs within engineering as a leader to drive consensus and action. Proactively identify issues and solutions, and marshal resources to attack and remove blockers
- Communicate: Clearly communicate and collaborate across the organization to support program execution and enhance predictability. Be the voice of expertise when it comes to operational excellence
- Collaborate: Partner with product, design, and engineering leaders to drive alignment across the organization and between teams. Coordinate with teams to identify, track, and prioritize impacts to timelines and quality
- Process Improvements: Identify and implement process improvements and tooling to optimize team workflows and engineering effectiveness. Use data and metrics to extract insights, back up or challenge assumptions, make recommendations, prioritize features, and drive actions
- Planning & Strategy: Break down complex issues into strategies to drive engineering alignment. Improve the planning and implementation of complex technical programs for timely delivery with globally distributed engineering teams
- Leadership: Lead without direct authority to drive effective technical program execution. Build trust and a positive work culture
Application process

Our take
As the use of containers and Kubernetes applications rise, enterprises implementing cloud apps face new security problems. These problems have created huge demand for security companies like Sysdig, which offers an open-source platform that manages security risks as companies run these modern cloud-based systems.
As well as its competitors, which include Dome9, Datadog, and Orca Security, Sysdig has enjoyed a surge in business, as more companies have had to adopt dynamic digital security solutions to enable remote working. Whilst much of its revenue comes from the US market, in recent years, it has expanded its footprint across the Middle East and Asia.
Having secured unicorn status in 2021, Sysdig remains a big player in the rapidly-growing public cloud market, with a list of impressive enterprise clients using its solutions including IBM, Goldman Sachs, Worldpay, ActiVision, and Booking.com.
