Job Summary:
Hadrian is a company focused on revolutionizing manufacturing for aerospace and defense. They are seeking a Technical Program Manager, SDLC to define and implement software development lifecycle processes, drive incident management, and improve engineering operations across teams.
Responsibilities:
• Define and implement SDLC processes across engineering teams, building consistency and scalability where little currently exists
• Own change management and release processes end to end
• Drive the incident management lifecycle: response, postmortems, and continuous improvement
• Establish program tracking, reporting, and execution cadence across engineering
• Partner with engineering and product to align roadmap execution and surface delivery risks early
• Identify bottlenecks in development workflows and implement lasting solutions to improve velocity
• Implement and track SLAs/SLOs for delivery and reliability
• Lead cross-functional program execution for critical initiatives
• Drive continuous improvement across tooling, workflows, and engineering operations
Qualifications:
Required:
• 5-8 years in Technical Program Management, Engineering Program Management, or closely related roles supporting software development teams
• Deep understanding of the software development lifecycle and the ability to design and implement scalable processes around it
• Experience driving cross-functional alignment across engineering, product, and operations stakeholders
• Hands-on experience running or improving incident response systems, including postmortem processes
• Strong program tracking and execution discipline: you know how to keep complex initiatives moving without being the bottleneck
• Clear communicator who can operate credibly with both senior leadership and individual contributors
• Comfort with tooling like Jira, GitHub, CI/CD systems, incident tools (PagerDuty, Opsgenie), and Confluence
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
Preferred:
• Experience at a high-growth or scaling startup, ideally in a 0-to-1 process-building context
• Background in DevOps, SRE, or software engineering
• Experience implementing or optimizing CI/CD and release automation
• Data-driven approach to measuring and improving engineering velocity and reliability
