Technical Program Manager

About us

Two developers, a designer and a support lead make up most of the company, so everyone touches the product. Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

Our operations team manages around 20 active projects. You'll own four to six of them at a time.
