You'll own the end-to-end delivery rhythm of engineering. From roadmap planning and sprint execution to quality initiatives and customer-focused bug triage. You'll work cross-functionally with Product, Customer Success, and Pre-Sales to ensure alignment across business priorities and engineering execution.

We're looking for a seasoned TPM who's seen what "great" looks like, ideally in high-growth environments, and thrives on building structure, driving alignment, and enabling teams to deliver amazing software.

• Orchestrate Execution: Run sprint and quarterly planning cycles, retrospectives, and progress reviews to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery.
• Align Global Teams: Partner closely with engineering leads across the US, India, and Europe to maintain alignment and drive shared accountability.
• Champion Quality and Customer Experience: Lead engineering initiatives focused on improving quality, stability, and responsiveness to customer-reported issues.
• Influence Without Authority: Build trust across teams and drive execution through influence, not hierarchy.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with Product, Customer Success, and Pre-Sales to ensure engineering is solving the right problems at the right time.
• Continuously Improve: Identify bottlenecks in execution, propose scalable process improvements, and institutionalize operational excellence.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of experience managing technical programs or large-scale software projects, ideally in fast-growing startups or technology companies.
• Strong background working with distributed engineering teams across multiple time zones.
• Deep understanding of Agile, Scrum, and Kanban methodologies with a practical approach to applying them in real-world startup environments.
• Advanced proficiency in JIRA, Confluence including workflows, dashboards, and reporting.
• Good technical acumen and instincts - able to discuss architecture, trade-offs, and dependencies with engineering leaders.
• Proven ability to influence and align stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
• Exceptional organizational, communication, and presentation skills.
• Experience in or passion for Application Security, Cybersecurity, or Developer Tools strongly preferred.
• Prior experience building TPM functions or scaling engineering operations in startups from Series A/B to growth stage.
• Background in software engineering, computer science, or related technical discipline.

Why Endor Labs?

• Be part of a fast scaling company tackling one of the most critical challenges in modern software security.
• Work directly with the VP of Engineering and senior leadership to shape how the company executes at scale.
• High visibility, high impact role with significant autonomy and ownership.
• A culture that values transparency, learning, and continuous improvement.
• Tremendous growth potential as we scale globally and expand our TPM and operations footprint.
