About the role

This role is ideal for someone with a strong technical foundation-ideally a former software engineer or someone with deep experience partnering with engineering teams-who enjoys bringing clarity, organization, and momentum to fast-moving technical programs.
We're looking for someone who can ramp quickly, take meaningful ownership from day one, and thrive in a collaborative startup environment where priorities evolve rapidly.

Lead the planning, execution, and delivery of complex software engineering programs across Pickle's robotics platform.
Partner closely with software engineering leaders to establish priorities, define project plans, and drive execution against key milestones.
Identify program risks, dependencies, and technical trade-offs, proactively drive resolution, and communicate status to stakeholders.
Improve program execution by developing scalable processes, tracking mechanisms, and communication frameworks.
Drive alignment across engineering teams while balancing changing priorities in a fast-paced startup environment.
Partner with engineering leadership to improve predictability, execution, and overall software delivery.

Strong understanding of Agile software development methodologies and modern software delivery practices.

Experience working in robotics, autonomous systems, industrial automation, or another hardware-integrated software environment.
Familiarity with Jira, Linear, Asana, or similar engineering planning tools.
Experience coordinating software releases across multiple engineering teams.
