What To Expect
The Autopilot Software Programs team is responsible for scoping, prioritizing, tracking, and releasing autonomy features from inception to launch, including over a dozen active safety features, Actually Smart Summon, and Full Self-Driving (Supervised).

As a Technical Program Manager with a focus on software releases, you will update millions of customer cars with new, safety-critical features on tight timelines. You will ensure teams validate their changes punctually, resolve bottlenecks, and communicate risks to relevant stakeholders. You will handle large branch merges and frequent software package signoffs, often more than one at a time. We expect you to be an organized self-starter and problem solver who can jump in to (proactively) resolve inefficiencies in the release process. We believe an autonomous future is a safer future, so success means shipping high quality features with a sense of urgency.

Manage the technical software release workflows end-to-end through collaboration with technical leads, component owners, infrastructure support, QA, and external teams

Track progress toward release signoff completion

Manage branch creation, auto-merging, and change control

Manage risks and resolve issues related to release scope, schedule, and quality

Ensure ticket hygiene is maintained

Implement process improvements to reduce workflow inefficiencies

What You'll Bring

Experience with Git or similar

A desire to move fast and fix problems without being asked; ability to thrive in a constantly changing environment with high ambiguity

Proven track record of exceptional ability (i.e., have personally solved difficult problems that have moved the needle on meaningful projects)

Experience leading team efforts and/or project management experience
