About the Role

Technical Project Manager

The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with deep technical expertise, exceptional communication skills, and a passion for building robust API-driven applications. ????

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Roadmap

• Define and communicate the product vision and strategic milestones, ensuring they are perfectly aligned with business goals.
• Translate business needs into a detailed product roadmap that supports a backend-driven architecture, including authoring SRS documents and defining API changes and new endpoints.
• Prioritize features and technical initiatives based on business value, balancing them with key technical goals like scalability, performance, and API stability.

Technical Collaboration & Execution

• Maintain and refine the product backlog with clear, technically-aware user stories that include specific acceptance criteria (e.g., API response time < 200ms).
• Work closely with developers to estimate story complexity, plan sprint scope, and facilitate agile ceremonies.
• Leverage a deep understanding of

  Node.js fundamentals

  (asynchronous programming, event-driven architecture, NPM, Express.js) to foster effective communication and decision-making.
• Champion an

  API-first development

  culture, manage internal/external API integrations, and collaborate on API schema definitions (RESTful endpoints, GraphQL).

Cross-Functional Leadership & Communication

• Act as the central communication hub between engineering (Node.js developers), QA, DevOps, and business stakeholders.
• Translate complex technical constraints and concepts (like non-blocking I/O) into clear business impacts and trade-offs.
• Ensure seamless synchronization and collaboration between front-end and back-end teams, especially in isomorphic JavaScript projects (e.g., React + Node.js).

Quality, Performance & Governance

• Oversee the quality assurance process by aligning the QA team on comprehensive test coverage, including API unit and integration tests.
• Ensure robust logging, monitoring (e.g., using tools like

  PM2, New Relic, or DataDog

  ), and error-handling mechanisms are implemented.
• Promote and enforce DevOps best practices, particularly for

  CI/CD pipelines

  in microservice or containerized (

  Docker

  ) environments.
• Plan, coordinate, and monitor application releases to ensure smooth and successful deployments.
• Ensure all backend services handling user data are compliant with relevant data protection regulations like

  GDPR

  and

  CCPA

  .
