Senior Technical Program Manager

📍 Location: Boston, MA (Hybrid, 3 days/week at our office in Back Bay)

Hi, this is Eric 👋 We’re hiring a stellar Technical Program Manager to join our engineering org at Basil Systems.
 

The Role

At basil, we're seeking a Technical Program Manager to serve as the connective tissue between product strategy and engineering execution. As our engineering team grows and takes on increasingly diverse technical initiatives, we need someone who can ensure our product vision translates into clear, documented engineering work while maintaining team coordination across our fully remote team.

You'll partner closely with our product leadership to bridge the gap between strategic vision and tactical execution, acting as the first point of contact for engineering questions and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks as we continue to scale.
 

Key Responsibilities

• Clarify and document product requirements so engineers have complete context before development starts.
• Act as the go-to liaison between product and engineering, translating vision into clear, actionable specs.
• Coordinate across projects and teams to track dependencies, avoid duplication, and ensure smooth communication.
• Create lightweight processes and accountability systems that balance structure with startup speed.
• Support strategic planning by aligning the technical roadmap with product priorities and identifying capability gaps.

Role Requirements

• 3-5+ years as TPM, preferably at early-stage startups (Series A-B)
• Deep technical fluency
• Exceptional written communication and documentation skills
• Comfortable building processes from scratch in ambiguous environments
• Experience with GitHub, issue tracking, and technical documentation
• Startup mentality—resourceful, scrappy, comfortable with uncertainty

Nice-to-Haves

• Background at small startups with right-sized process expectations Can proactively fill gaps without constant direction

This role might not be for you if...

• You're a heavy process advocate and want enterprise-grade Scrum or rigid methodologies
• You have a need for perfect clarity before taking action
• You have a big company mindset

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Health and vision benefits

• Flexible work environment (remote-friendly)
• Opportunity to work on impactful projects that are helping bring life-saving medical products to market
