Senior Technical Program Manager (AI)

Location: EU, Remote

Company

hirify.global develops software and AI products through Applied AI, Engineering, Research, and Forward Deployed Engineering teams.

What you will do

• Standardize the engineering toolset and establish a single source of truth for the SDLC.
• Own Linear, set delivery deadlines, maintain a six-month capacity view, and run end-to-end development workflows.
• Build the FDE-to-Engineering handoff, including decisions on productization, deprecation, and integration into the core model.
• Coordinate Applied AI, Engineering, Research, and FDE teams across SF, Europe, and Israel.
• Facilitate agreement on API signatures, terminology, and system design before implementation.
• Run operational reviews, surface blockers, and drive completed capabilities through launch.

Requirements

• 7+ years in technical program management, engineering management, or a hybrid role at a high-growth software or AI company.
• Direct experience with machine learning or LLM development lifecycles, with sufficient technical fluency to challenge engineering estimates.
• Experience establishing SDLC and tooling at a 50–300-person company; tool-sprawl migration experience is a bonus.
• Ability to coordinate senior engineers and researchers without direct management authority and operate effectively in ambiguity.
• Director- or Principal-level individual contributor who works hands-on and builds delivery systems without unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Experience coordinating engineering across multiple time zones, ideally across the US, Europe, and Israel or an equivalent setup.
• Bias for shipping, with a focus on delivered outcomes rather than tracking alone.
• Strong written communication for documentation and asynchronous cross-team alignment.

Nice to have

• Background in enterprise B2B SaaS, especially with both platform and Forward Deployed Engineering or solutions motions.
• Experience working with FDE or applied teams whose customer-built work must be productized.
• Familiarity with model deployment, inference infrastructure, or MLOps at production scale.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time, hands-on individual contributor role with no management of a TPM team.
• Work remotely from the EU.
• Collaborate across Engineering, Applied AI, Research, FDE, Marketing, and Sales.
• Operate through influence, technical competence, execution, and written asynchronous communication.
