Role OverviewAs a
Staff Technical Program Manager (TPM), you operate at a company-impact level.
You will lead large, complex, cross-organizational programs spanning Product, Platform, Engineering, Security, Data, and Operations. You will translate strategic priorities into structured execution plans, establish durable operating mechanisms, identify systemic risks, and ensure measurable business outcomes.
This is an
individual contributor role. You will not have direct reports, but you will lead through influence, judgment, and execution discipline.
This role requires a high-ownership operator who builds mechanisms-not heroics-and raises the bar for how programs are run across the company.

hybrid onsite, 3 days per week in our Sunnyvale, CA office.
