About the role

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.
