At Lucid, we hold true to our core values of teamwork over ego, innovation in everything we do, individual empowerment, initiative, and ownership, and passion and excellence in every area. We value diverse perspectives and are dedicated to creating an environment that is respectful and inclusive for everyone.

Our Product Engineering team is seeking a Technical Project Manager to act as a strategic driver for our most complex, cross-functional initiatives. You aren't just a coordinator; you are the "engine" that ensures our technical vision translates into high-quality, delivered reality.

As a Sr. TPM, you will bridge the gap between product strategy and engineering execution. You will navigate technical complexities, manage intricate dependencies across multiple teams, and foster an environment of predictable, high-velocity delivery. You will serve as a Scrum Master and your primary impact will be in optimizing the systems and processes that allow our engineers to do their best work.

Responsibilities:

• Drive the end-to-end execution of large-scale engineering projects, from initial technical discovery through to global deployment and post-launch monitoring.
• Beyond facilitating Scrum ceremonies, you will analyze our development lifecycle to identify systemic bottlenecks and implement process improvements that increase team predictable velocity.
• Proactively map and manage complex dependencies across multiple engineering squads. Identify "red flags" early and develop creative mitigation strategies before they impact the critical path.
• Partner deeply with Engineering Managers and Architects to understand technical constraints and trade-offs, ensuring project plans are realistic and technically sound.
• Develop and maintain sophisticated dashboards (using Jira and other tools) to track health, focusing on lead times, cycle times, and throughput to provide a transparent view of engineering health to leadership.
• Act as the primary point of communication for executive stakeholders, providing clarity on progress, risks, and resource allocation.
• Evangelize Agile/Lean best practices across the organization and mentor mid-level PMs or Scrum Masters on advanced project management techniques.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in technical project management or program management, specifically within high-growth SaaS engineering organizations.
• Functional understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to effectively translate technical requirements into actionable plans.
• Deep expertise in various Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, XP) and the ability to adapt them to the unique needs of different teams rather than following a rigid playbook.
• Proficiency in Jira (including JQL, automation, etc) and documentation tools like Confluence.
• Thrive in ambiguity and can create structure out of chaos.
• Certified Scrum Master (CSM)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Project management qualification (PMP) or equivalent
