Technical Project Manager

Job Description

Technical Project Manager

About the Company

DevDocs is a fully remote company that hires developers to build documentation and docs tooling for clients like Qualcomm, American Express, and C3 AI.

We don't hire writers, and we don't just crank out docs: our close-knit team is full of technical experts who can deeply understand a client's products, consult on their problems, then design tools and systems to automate their docs processes (and write the most important docs).

We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager who enjoys bringing clarity to complex technical work. In this role, you’ll help turn architecture and ideas into coordinated execution, ensuring projects move forward thoughtfully and teams stay aligned.

Rather than simply pushing timelines, the TPM helps teams understand where work is getting stuck, surfaces risks early, and improves the systems we use to plan and deliver meaningful work.

Key Responsibilities

• Own project scope and contract alignment, ensuring a clear understanding of deliverables and helping resolve scope or delivery challenges as they arise
• Lead project planning and roadmap development, translating architecture and technical requirements into actionable timelines and milestones
• Serve as the central coordination point for delivery, managing dependencies, risks, and weekly project reporting
• Present project updates, insights, and recommendations to stakeholders
• Work closely with the engineering team to understand system architecture, data flows, and development workflows (e.g., Jira, GitHub)
• Build strong relationships with client stakeholders and decision-makers to ensure alignment and long-term success
• Build strong relationships with internal teams, the broader DevDocs ecosystem, and client stakeholders to ensure alignment, trust, and long-term success
• Continuously improve the systems we use to track work, communicate progress, and keep projects moving smoothly

Requirements

• Experience managing technical or software delivery projects
• Strong communication skills across engineering teams and executive stakeholders
• Experience with project and engineering tools such as Jira and GitHub
• Demonstrated experience using automation and AI tools to improve team efficiency (e.g., Jira automation, advanced JQL, dashboards, reporting tools such as Tableau, or similar systems)
• Ability to create systems that improve team workflow hygiene, visibility, and delivery coordination
• Strong organizational, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills
• PMP certification preferred

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success often means:

• Teams have clear plans and shared understanding of priorities
• Risks and blockers are surfaced early rather than late
• Projects move forward with clarity and coordination
• Stakeholders trust the process and feel informed and aligned
