Technical Project Manager

You will

• Manage “specs to tasks” process — ensure a clear task exists for each product requirement so engineers know what to build and QA knows how to test: build Jira Epics, Releases, Tasks and sub-tasks; manage transitions to Backlog to “ready for dev”.
• Ensure engineering tasks cover the entire work required to deliver the solution. There is always engineering work that is not reflected in a specific customer-facing spec (enabling a 3rd party library to be installed and run in our desktop products, for example), so this person needs to ensure the engineering tasks are as complete as possible in describing the full scope of work.
• Manage specs & task changes — discussions, improvements, compromises and other changes to first-draft specs always occur. When these happen, we need to reach consensus about exact details of the changes, then update both specs and tasks to reflect the final decisions.
• Assist QA team in writing test cases and tasks to cover all new functionality.
• Gather bugs and feedback from internal and external testers and users during the project delivery process, log in Jira and assist in prioritizing and validating the feedback, and adjusting specs or engineering tasks to address each issue.
• Manage code review, change stacking, and test build process. Many engineers will submit many related and unrelated code changes for a given project. These need to be ‘stacked’ in Git in a way that produces a build that is ready for QA to test.
• Mange release candidate build process, including internal communication and access to test builds, release notes for each RC build.
• Manage final production QA acceptance and build process.
