AI in this role
Drive technical projects from planning to execution, aligning engineering teams and timelines as a Technical Project Manager.
We're proud to work with many incredible companies, accelerating their ability to build their products.
We've spent years watching talented engineering teams lose momentum to the same frustrating bottleneck: waiting. Waiting for CI to finish. Waiting for builds to complete. Waiting for tests to run.
After experiencing this pain firsthand at companies of every size, we set out to build the developer infrastructure platform we'd always wanted to use. Something that would seamlessly integrate with our workflows and the tools teams already love—but make everything dramatically faster and more cost-effective.
Today, we're already accelerating hundreds of companies around the world, helping them ship features instead of waiting for infrastructure. We've built something that feels almost magical in its simplicity: change your runs-on line, mount your toolchain cache directory and suddenly your builds are 5x faster.
About the role
As a Technical Project Manager at Namespace, you'll drive technical projects from planning through execution, working closely with engineering teams to translate business goals into clear technical work, manage timelines and dependencies, and keep stakeholders aligned. You'll bring a strong technical background and experience working with software engineering and developer tools, allowing you to understand technical trade-offs, anticipate risks, and operate effectively alongside engineers.
Our culture
We're looking for people with grit—people who push through ambiguity, take ownership, and keep going when things get hard. You're deeply curious, driven to understand how things work and how they can be improved. Most importantly, you have a strong bias to execution: you don't wait for perfect conditions, you ship, learn, and iterate quickly. If you care about building, moving fast, and making real impact, you'll fit right in.
What you'll do
Translate high-level business goals into clear technical tasks and project plans for engineering teams
Create and maintain project documentation, managing timelines, budgets, scope, resources, and day-to-day priorities
Anticipate technical obstacles, manage dependencies and risks, and ensure appropriate testing and quality standards
Keep engineering teams, cross-functional stakeholders, vendors, and company leadership aligned on progress, priorities, and roadblocks
Manage technical vendors and suppliers as part of project delivery
What we're looking for
Technical background with experience in software development, engineering, computer science, or a closely related field
Proven experience managing technical projects, either in a dedicated technical project management role or as a significant part of an engineering or technical role
Experience working closely with software engineering teams and a strong understanding of how engineering projects are planned, built, and shipped
Familiarity with developer tools and modern software development workflows
Ability to understand technical requirements, trade-offs, dependencies, and risks and translate them into clear project plans
Strong ownership and ability to drive multiple stakeholders toward execution in a fast-moving environment
You can expect:
Competitive salary and stock options
Flexible working hours
Market-leading parental leave
