Senior Engineering Project Manager

About the Company:

Ambient combines a decade of operational experience with design and engineering prowess to improve apartment living and management in the most impactful, cost-effective way possible.

The name "Ambient" embodies our vision to create a category-defining platform that seamlessly integrates smart technology into the built environment and transforms the way people live, visit, and work in multifamily communities. Our focus is on increasing the value of multifamily properties by making them more efficient to operate and more comfortable to live in.

About The Role:

We're looking for a Senior Engineering Project Manager to act as the bridge across multiple different teams and projects. You’ll be making sure our efforts are on track and processes are running smoothly as we continue building our property automation platform.

You’ll be sufficiently hands-on with our tech and systems, enabling you to directly leave your mark on our products, while also working broadly enough to feel truly strategic and solve big-picture problems.

Responsibilities:

• Manage technical projects across multiple teams including software engineering, mobile, product design, quality engineering, operations, and other business teams.
• Work directly with engineers, making sure tickets are being completed and leading the SDLC process as needed.
• Communicate with stakeholders across business and operations teams at Ambient, while also contributing to learning and knowledge sharing efforts in training and forum style meetings, depending on the context.
• Keep project statuses up to date in Jira and Productboard, and maintain all relevant documentation in Google Docs and Notion.

Qualifications:

• Prior experience with technical or engineering project management in a senior-level role, ideally in a similar sized startup or small-to-medium sized technology company.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, with the capacity to determine priorities and quickly respond to updates while continuing to provide accurate timelines.
• Enough technical knowledge to understand how a system works at a high level and be able to communicate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
• Experience with standard project management tools (we use Jira and Productboard) and platforms for documentation (we use Notion and Google Docs).
• Clear and concise communication skills, with the ability and confidence to navigate across multiple different teams and types of subject matter.
• Comfortable taking ambiguous and potential unclear problems and breaking them down into actionable steps.
• A high level of interest in and curiosity for the smart home and smart apartments space.

Great to have, but not required:

• Coding experience (we primarily use Python and Golang).
• Experience with our particular set of project management tools, Jira and Productboard.
• Experience with design tools like Figma.
• Experience with quality tracking software (we use Testrails).
