Role Overview

We are seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to own the cross-team delivery machinery for a 20-person AI native engineering organization. This is not a project coordination role — it is a technical program ownership role.  You will maintain the master delivery plan across two Scrum teams and shared resources, track and resolve  
cross-team dependencies (platform teams, ARC backend, OEM integrations), manage risk before it becomes a miss, and create the delivery transparency that allows Engineering, Product, and Executive leadership to make fast, informed decisions. The best TPMs are invisible when things go well and indispensable when they don't. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Own the master delivery plan: maintain the integrated roadmap across both Scrum teams, shared resources (Architect, ML, SDET), and external platform dependencies — with milestone-level clarity at all times.  
• Track and resolve cross-team dependencies: Agentic Engine, Core Platform (Temporal, MCP Gateway, Component Framework), ARC backend (Kafka event contracts, API dependencies), Design (component specs), and external vendors (email/SMS providers).  
• Run the delivery rhythm: sprint review calendar, cross-team sync cadence, dependency review meetings, and risk escalation forums — keeping the Director and VP Engineering informed without burying them in status updates.  
• Identify, quantify, and manage delivery risks: surface blockers early, drive resolution with urgency, and maintain a live risk register with mitigation owners and timelines.  
• Own cross-team technical communication: translate engineering status into language that Product, Business, and Executive stakeholders can act on — and translate business urgency back into engineering trade-off decisions.  
• Drive the release process: define release criteria, coordinate go/no-go decisions with Engineering, QA (Staff SDET), and Product, and manage production deployments across services.  
• Manage the dependency interface to the T1 Agentic Engine team: track which Intent, Skill, Policy, and MCP tool registrations are ready, which are blocked, and what the critical path impact is.  
• Continuously improve the delivery system: identify bottlenecks in the engineering process, drive retrospectives, and implement changes that sustainably increase throughput and quality.

Skills & Qualifications 

• 12+ years of technical program management experience, with at least 3 years at Staff level managing multi team programs at SaaS or platform companies.  
• Strong technical depth: able to read architecture diagrams, understand Kafka dependency graphs, evaluate API contract blockers, and participate credibly in engineering design discussions.  
• Proven experience managing complex, multi-team delivery programs with many external dependencies — including platform dependencies outside your direct control.  
• Expert facilitation of engineering delivery rituals: sprint planning, dependency reviews, release gates, post mortems, and architecture syncs.  
• Deep understanding of AI-native product delivery: what makes AI system delivery different from traditional software (eval requirements, model versioning, non-deterministic outputs, golden dataset dependencies).  
• Excellent written communication: can produce a crisp, executive-readable status update that tells the truth clearly and drives decisions.  
• Strong stakeholder management across Engineering, Product, Design, and Executive levels — comfortable managing up, across, and down.  

 
Good to Have  

• Experience managing delivery programs that involve both Java microservices and Python AI/ML engineering teams simultaneously.  
• Familiarity with agentic AI platform concepts: intent registries, MCP tools, skill/policy authoring, and eval frameworks — enough to track technical dependency status accurately.  
• Background in automotive retail technology or dealer management systems.  
• Prior experience working in a US-India distributed engineering organization.  
 

About the Role

At FourKites we have the opportunity to tackle complex challenges with real-world impacts. Whether it’s medical supplies from Cardinal Health or groceries for Walmart, the FourKites platform helps customers operate global supply chains that are efficient, agile and sustainable.

Join a team of curious problem solvers that celebrates differences, leads with empathy and values inclusivity.

As a Senior Customer Engineer, you own the technical customer relationship end to end. You run discovery independently, design integration and agentic workflow architectures for complex enterprise problems, and deploy solutions live with customers — often before they know exactly how to articulate what they need. You write optimized, production-grade code at speed, grounded in strong data structures and algorithms fundamentals, because compressing the time from customer problem to working solution is how FDE delivers its value. You bring genuine innovation to hard problems — your solutions are technically sound, elegant, and often non-obvious. You are the primary technical contact for 2–4 major enterprise accounts, you mentor FDEs on the team, and you are building the skills that will take you into Staff-level technical leadership.

What You'll Do

• Own complex integration and AI agent implementations end-to-end — from technical discovery through go-live and post-launch enhancement — as the primary technical contact for 2–4 enterprise accounts
• Design integration architectures with explicit attention to error handling, retry logic, observability, failure recovery, and multi-system authentication
• Design and deploy agentic AI workflows that orchestrate supply chain operations — from requirements through production, including regression testing and validation before each customer deployment
• Deploy AI agent workflows live with customers present — configuring and troubleshooting in the room during customer calls, not gathering requirements to build later
• Run customer discovery sessions independently — hear a business problem and propose a technically credible, innovative solution on the spot without IM or management support
• Use Claude, OpenAI, and other LLMs across the entire workflow — capturing requirements, designing integrations, generating integration specs, writing code, testing and deployment; the expectation is LLM-assisted work at every stage, not just at the keyboard
• Represent FourKites from a technical lens during presales engagements — articulate integration architecture, agentic workflow capabilities, and platform extensibility to prospective enterprise customers alongside the Solutions and Sales teams
• Join scoping and strategic customer calls alongside the SCA team to tackle the highest-complexity technical and product questions — come in with a point of view, not just answers
• Perform code reviews on integration and AI workflow work from FDEs and enforce quality standards before deployment
• Mentor FDEs — pair on hard problems, review their work consistently, and take accountability for their growth
• Identify reusable integration patterns and AI workflow templates and formalize them for the team library
• Scope and estimate level of effort for projects accurately and hold yourself accountable to those estimates
• Collaborate with Implementation Managers, Customer Success Managers, Solutions Consultants, Product Managers, and Engineering to deliver seamless customer outcomes
  
  

What We're Looking For

• 5–8 years of software engineering experience, with meaningful depth in integration engineering, system design, or a customer-facing technical role — what matters is the complexity and ownership of what you have built
• Strong proficiency in Java (required) and one or more of: Python or Ruby - writes clean, production-grade code with test coverage, clear design rationale, and a standard other engineers can follow
• Strong foundations in data structures and algorithms — designs systems that perform at scale, reasons about complexity tradeoffs under pressure, and makes the right architectural call for high-throughput, low-latency integration scenarios
• Strong software design skills — architects integration and AI workflow systems that are modular, resilient, observable, and built to evolve; can articulate the design, defend the tradeoffs, and produce a diagram that makes it legible to others
• Writes optimized code at speed — takes a customer problem from discovery to deployed solution faster than traditional development cycles; the ability to compress the build cycle without compromising quality is what enables customers to move faster
• Innovative problem solver — brings genuine creativity to hard integration and AI workflow challenges; finds approaches that are technically sound, elegant, and often non-obvious; complexity doesn't slow you down, it sharpens your thinking
• Deep expertise in enterprise integration patterns and how to apply them across complex, multi-system — knows when to apply which approach and can justify the tradeoffs
• Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI workflows end-to-end using LangGraph or equivalent — not configuring templates, architecting systems
• Uses Claude, OpenAI, or equivalent LLMs across the full workflow — requirements documentation, integration design, spec generation, code generation, testing and deployment; treats LLMs as a core engineering capability, not a productivity shortcut
• Proven ability to run technical discovery sessions with enterprise customers independently and translate ambiguous business requirements into concrete technical specs
• Comfortable deploying agentic workflows live in a customer call — handles configuration, troubleshooting, and edge cases in the moment
• Strong SQL proficiency — writes queries to investigate customer data issues and validate integration output

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in supply chain, logistics, transportation, or B2B SaaS platforms is a strong plus
• Deep familiarity with enterprise integration patterns and a track record of applying them to complex, multi-system enterprise environments
• Familiarity with EDI standards, carrier integrations, TMS/WMS systems, and supply chain data flows
• Experience with low-code/no-code workflow automation platforms such as Pipedream, n8n, Temporal, or equivalent
• Snowflake experience and familiarity with large-scale data investigation across multi-tenant environments
• Proficient with Lucidchart, Miro, draw.io, or similar tools to document and communicate integration architectures and agentic workflow designs visually — customers and internal stakeholders should be able to read your design without needing to ask what it means

Background working in a Forward Deployment, Field Engineering, or similar customer-embedded technical role

• Design and build the golden dataset evaluation framework: seed realistic multi-tenant dealer/customer data across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, Elasticsearch, and Kafka, and define assertion criteria for scoring accuracy, suppression correctness, and attribution logic. 

• Establish AI quality gates: define evaluation criteria for ML model outputs (scoring, recommendations), LLM response quality, RAG retrieval accuracy (precision@k, recall), and agentic workflow correctness.

• Architect test infrastructure: Testcontainers configurations for MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Redis/Aerospike — enabling fully local integration test runs.

• Own CI/CD quality pipeline: define what automated tests run at commit, PR, staging, and pre-release gates — with blocking quality thresholds.

• Define and track quality metrics: test coverage per hexagonal layer, defect leakage, flakiness rate, MTTR, and automation ROI.

• Lead root cause analysis for production escapes — own post-mortems and preventive measure implementation. 

• Mentor Senior SDETs and QA engineers across both teams; conduct design reviews for test frameworks and golden dataset designs.

• Influence backend and frontend engineers on testability: drive API design, logging, observability, and error handling that makes services intrinsically testable. 

Skills & Experience

• 8+ years of QA Engineering, Test Automation, or SDET experience with strong hands-on engineering depth.

• Deep expertise designing test strategies for hexagonal architecture: proven ability to test domain cores independently from adapters, and adapters independently from each other.

• Strong programming skills in Java (primary) and Python — able to write production-quality test frameworks, not just test scripts. 

• Expert-level Testcontainers experience across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Redis/Aerospike. 

• Experience with contract testing (Pact or similar) for service boundary validation and service virtualization.

• Deep Kafka testing expertise: consumer group behavior, event ordering guarantees, idempotency, and dead-letter queue validation.

• Experience designing golden dataset strategies: multi-tenant data seeding, realistic event sequences, and deterministic assertion design.
