Position Overview

InterSystems is again growing and so we’re scaling how we design and execute.

Technical Program Managers are a key part of the Engineering team within our Data Platforms organization. They are broadly experienced engineers who now serve at the program level: guiding the design, development, implementation, maintenance, and support of our software.

From their cross-functional and cross-product perspective, our Technical Program Managers have a large impact, being able to identify and resolve organization-level issues. In addition to working with different functional leads, our TPMs leverage our engineering system’s workflows and deliverables while also serving to improve it as we grow together.  

Responsibilities

As a Technical Program Manager:

• Cross-functionally orchestrate at the program-level. Our TPM’s are the cross-functional individuals. They understand what is needed to get from point A to point B and make it happen. This includes complex software features, customer responses, infrastructure buildout, etc.
• Understand and drive our Software Development Life Cycle, end-to-end. From Definition all the way through Development, Release, and Maintenance, our TPM’s are the authority. Make sure that things are running smoothly. Engage when they are not.
• Learn and understand our organization and products so that you can make meaningful contributions.  
• Apply your engineering background. The overall engineering process is more than a checklist. Steer us towards exceptional design and execution.
• Directly support Needs Analysis. Help make sure that we truly capture what’s needed by our business and customers. Question and suggest, as necessary.
• Directly support Requirements Definition. Help create and refine our architecture by ensuring good and consistent requirements, with the right coverage. Question and suggest, as necessary.
• Be the technical generalist. Apply different skills relating to the functional groups such as Development, Test, Product Management, Release, etc.
• Own Risk Management. Work together with functional leads to determine and mitigate risks in our design and implementation.
• Understand urgency vs importance. Now vs later.
• Report to organization leadership. You have the unified view.
