<li>Ability to engage deeply in technical discussions, ask precise questions, identify gaps, and translate engineering trade-offs into program decisions without acting as primary implementer.</li>
<li>Experience managing technical dependencies across backend, frontend, mobile, QA, DevOps, infrastructure, security, or data teams.</li>
<li>Working familiarity with developer productivity, engineering tooling, CI/CD, observability, release management, documentation standards, or AI-assisted engineering workflows.</li>
<li>Ability to create and maintain technical program artifacts such as architecture decision records, dependency maps, delivery plans, risk registers, launch checklists, and operational readiness plans.</li>
<li>Excellent stakeholder communication, facilitation, and executive reporting skills.</li>
<li>Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and risk management capabilities.</li>
</ul><h2>Nice to have:</h2><ul>
