Technical Program Manager

145k – 269kNew York, NYHybrid5+ YOE
Summary

Lead large-scale technical programs across engineering teams, own incident response processes, and drive cross-functional execution. Requires 5+ years TPM experience, AI fluency, and a technical bachelor's degree.

About the role

What You'll Do

  • Lead large-scale technical programs across engineering and adjacent teams—from CI/CD and infrastructure scaling to incident response, and driving other strategic projects across the engineering organization
  • Own Ramp's engineering incident response program, improving processes, running retrospectives, and keeping the bar high on how the org learns from incidents
  • Be the connective tissue between platform and product engineering teams, ensuring context flows both ways and nothing falls through the cracks
  • Own programs end-to-end: from scoping and kickoff through delivery, observability, and retrospective
  • Partner with engineering leaders to define technical roadmaps, understand how multiple projects overlap and complement each other, and ensure the programs fit within the goals of the organization
  • Collaborate with lead engineers, engineering managers and other groups to help communicate business and engineering strategies to the wider organization
  • Help shape how the TPM function operates at Ramp: set standards, define playbooks, and raise the bar for how technical programs are run

What You Need

  • 5+ years of TPM experience, ideally in a high-growth startup environment
  • Genuine AI fluency: you are actively building with and thinking about AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and using them in day-to-day work
  • Ability to operate as both executor and leader
  • Proven ability to earn trust quickly and become the person teams want to confide in
  • BA/BS in a technical or analytical field (e.g. Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Analytics, or related)
  • Proven ability to lead small, cross-functional teams toward ambitious goals with urgency and agency

Nice to Haves

  • Experience building programs at high-rigor, fast-moving companies
  • Background as a software engineer or technical founder
  • Familiarity with how LLM-based systems are built and deployed — enough to have a meaningful technical conversation with the engineers building them

Benefits

  • Flexible PTO
  • Unlimited AI token usage
  • Centralized home-office equipment ordering
  • Health and wellness stipend
  • Budget for intra-office travel
  • Weekly coffee stipend
  • 100% medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you, with partial coverage for dependents
  • One Medical annual membership
  • 401(k), including employer match on contributions made while employed by Ramp
  • Fertility HRA (up to $10,000 per year)
  • Parental leave: up to 16 weeks (80 days) at 100% pay
  • Pet insurance
  • In-office perks: lunch, snacks, drinks, and more
  • Relocation support to NYC or SF (as needed)
