  • Drive the planning, execution, and delivery of complex technical programs across engineering, product, and operations teams.
  • Partner with engineering and product leadership to define program scope, objectives, timelines, and success metrics.
  • Facilitate cross‑team communication and ensure alignment on priorities, dependencies, and trade‑offs.
  • Identify and mitigate program risks, resolve issues, and elevate blockers to maintain program velocity.
  • Implement and refine program management best practices, tools, and frameworks for greater efficiency and transparency.
  • Track and communicate program progress, ensuring stakeholders have clear visibility into timelines, outcomes, and risks.
  • Champion continuous improvement and foster a culture of accountability and collaboration across technical teams.

  • Improvement in cross‑team collaboration efficiency
  • Achievement of quarterly strategic objectives
  • What You’ll Add To DigitalOcean

  • Experience : 5+ years of technical program or project management experience within software, cloud, or infrastructure engineering environments.
  • Technical Understanding : Strong foundational knowledge of distributed systems, SaaS, or cloud infrastructure. Ability to translate between technical and business needs effectively.
  • Leadership : Proven ability to lead cross‑functional initiatives and influence teams without direct authority.
  • Communication : Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to simplify complex concepts for diverse audiences.
  • Organization : Skilled in managing multiple priorities and balancing strategic and tactical execution.
  • Tools & Methodologies : Proficiency with agile methodologies, program tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Smartsheet), and program reporting frameworks.
  • Preferred : PMP, CSM, or equivalent certification; experience with scaling engineering operations or cloud services.
  • Compensation Range

  • $139,200 – $174,000

  • We innovate with purpose. You’ll be a part of a cutting‑edge technology company with an upward trajectory, proud to simplify cloud and AI so builders can spend more time creating software that changes the world.
  • We prioritize career development. At DO, you’ll do the best work of your career. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry.
  • We care about your well‑being. Regardless of your location, we will provide you with a competitive array of benefits to support you from our Employee Assistance Program to local meetups.
