MISSION
Support the engineering team's delivery rhythm — issue hygiene, QA, release tracking, and the reporting cadence that keeps leadership and OpCos informed — so the team ships predictably and no one has to chase status. This role is the foundation for a career in engineering project management, with direct exposure to how a modern AI and data platform is built and shipped.
MANDATE PILLARS
|
01 Engineering Process & Delivery Project and issue hygiene, SDLC process discipline, QA testing, prod/dev promotion management, and triage of bugs and feature requests submitted to Prism. |
02 Release & Roadmap Management Supports Surge planning, materials prep, and feature release management. Tracks and reports on the FDE roadmap — visibility and status, not authorship or prioritization. |
03 Reporting & Transparency Weekly dev notes, reporting materials, meeting operations, and the recurring transparency deck to C-suite and OpCos, plus the AI newsletter. |
RESPONSIBILITIES
|
ENGINEERING PROCESS & DELIVERY • Own cleanliness and structure of all project tracking — every issue properly labeled, assigned, prioritized, and current at all times • Manage the prod/dev promotion pipeline — own the process for tracking, approving, and coordinating promotions to production as the firm formalizes its prod/dev split • Maintain SDLC process documentation — sprint cadences, definition of done, release checklists, and escalation paths • Flag blockers, stale issues, and scope creep to the appropriate engineering or product lead before they become delivery risks ◦ No priority-setting authority over the backlog — hygiene and process only; escalate prioritization calls to the team lead
|
QA & PRODUCT VALIDATION
• Own QA for Prism and other products before release — systematically testing for number mismatches, broken links, math errors, and UI inconsistencies • Serve as the first point of contact for Prism feature requests and bug reports — triage, log, and route to the correct engineer or product owner • Communicate status updates back to end users — setting expectations on timelines and closing the loop when issues are resolved • Identify patterns in bug reports and feature requests and surface recurring themes to product leadership |
|
FDE ROADMAPS & SURGE PLANNING • Maintain FDE roadmaps across active workstreams — tracking sprint commitments, milestone dates, and delivery status • Take point on materials prep for Surges and other presentations — compiling decks, pre-reads, and supporting assets ahead of key events • Support Surge event planning — coordinating logistics, pre-work, deliverable tracking, and post-surge action item follow-through • Produce sprint and roadmap status summaries for CDAO and senior stakeholder consumption ◦ Pure tracking role on the roadmap — no authorship or prioritization of roadmap content |
REPORTING & TRANSPARENCY
• Draft the weekly dev notes — summarizing engineering progress, releases, and key decisions across all active workstreams • Own the weekly reporting materials — compile sprint updates, roadmap status, and key metrics into a consistent format for team and leadership review • Support production of the recurring transparency deck to C-suite and OpCos — keeping messaging consistent across all reporting channels • Assist with the AI newsletter — content gathering, cadence, and distribution across the firm • Maintain the team's calendar of recurring calls with structured pre-meeting prep and post-meeting action tracking |
COMPETENCIES
|
AREA |
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR |
|
Organizational Rigor |
Instinctively structured — keeps systems clean, tracks details without being asked, and treats process discipline as a professional standard, not a burden. |
|
SDLC & Release Process |
Engineering degree with genuine interest in how software gets built and shipped. Understands the SDLC end to end — comfortable with release management, prod/dev promotion, and Surge/capacity planning basics. |
|
QA & Attention to Detail |
Methodical approach to product validation — catches number mismatches, broken links, and math errors before they reach end users. Takes pride in shipping clean. |
|
Roadmap Reporting |
Able to synthesize status across a roadmap into clear, accurate reporting for non-technical stakeholders. Produces polished materials fit for C-suite and OpCo audiences. |
|
Communication |
Clear and direct written communicator. Comfortable interfacing with end users on bug and feature status, and translating engineering updates into plain language for senior leadership. |
|
Judgment & Reliability |
Operates with process discipline in a coordination role. Escalates with a proposed solution, not just a flag. Builds credibility through reliability and follow-through, not org chart position. |
CAREER DEVELOPMENT
|
Year 1 Own the team's project hygiene, QA, and operating rhythm end-to-end. Deep exposure to how an AI and data platform is built — sprints, releases, FDE deployments, and Surge events from the inside. |
|
Year 2 Take on independent project management ownership of a defined workstream or FDE. Begin developing proficiency in SDLC methodology and stakeholder management as a practitioner, not just a coordinator. |
|
Year 3 Pathway to Associate or full Engineering Project Manager — owning end-to-end delivery of product and platform initiatives, potentially anchoring a central ops function as the team scales. |
YEAR 1 SUCCESS METRICS
|
Project Hygiene Zero stale, unassigned, or mislabeled issues across active projects at any given time |
QA Coverage All releases pass structured QA before promotion — zero number or math errors reaching end users |
Bug Loop Closure Every Prism bug and feature request acknowledged and routed within 24 hours |
|
Dev Notes Cadence Weekly dev notes drafted and distributed on time, every week |
