Technical project manager - Network infrastructure - APAC

The Role

We're looking for a Lead Technical Project Manager for Network Infrastructure. This is a role for someone with an engineering background who can earn trust with SREs, SWEs, network engineers, security and platform teams. The company is at the early stage of its APAC expansion, so the role involves a high degree of independence, setting up project management practices for the region from scratch, and staying close to technical details.

The ability to understand real trade-offs is essential, including rollback, blast radius, provisioning constraints, SLO ownership, and network device CI/CD. The role covers project delivery with a product mindset for internal infrastructure, including adoption, documentation, and feedback loops. It is management of execution, not people management.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end delivery of cross-team network infrastructure initiatives in APAC, from a vague problem statement to an executable plan to adoption
• Define scope and success criteria, align owners across SRE, SWE, network, security, platform and data center teams, and drive decisions to closure
• Review designs and technical proposals, challenge missing assumptions, and surface failure modes, dependencies and risks early
• Track dependencies and risks across teams and time zones, and keep stakeholders, including the European teams, informed with clear, honest status
• Drive adoption: make sure tools and workflows become the default way of working, with real documentation, runbooks and feedback loops
• Establish and run lightweight, effective project management practices for the region: planning, prioritization, reviews, and post-launch follow-up
• Work with regional teams and external partners (vendors, carriers) on the rollout of new network capabilities
• Turn operational pain and engineering input into a clear, prioritized backlog

Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience in technical project management, engineering management or a hands-on engineering role (SRE, SWE, network or infrastructure), with a track record of delivering complex cross-team infrastructure projects
• A real engineering background: you have built and operated production systems and can earn the trust of deeply technical teams
• Ability to read design docs and technical proposals, understand trade-offs, and ask sharp questions about reliability, rollback, blast radius and failure modes
• Strong understanding of infrastructure fundamentals (Linux, networking, automation, CI/CD) at the level needed to hold your own in technical discussions
• Proven ability to drive decisions and create clarity in ambiguous, fast-changing environments without formal authority
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including documenting plans and decisions and influencing smart technical people
• Ability to work independently in an early-stage environment and to build processes from scratch
• Professional working proficiency in English (spoken and written) and comfort working across time zones

Nice to Have:

• Experience with network infrastructure: network automation, observability, or network device lifecycle management
• Experience with SLO/SLI frameworks, incident management, or production readiness processes
• Experience with CI/CD or change management for network or other high-blast-radius infrastructure
• Experience delivering projects with distributed teams across APAC time zones
• Experience with secrets and access management, firmware rollout or fleet-wide operational initiatives
• Hands-on engineering contributions (scripts, tooling, automation) alongside project work

Examples of Initiatives:

• A user and secrets management system for network infrastructure, including robot-user lifecycle, safe key/password rotation, revocation, break-glass access, mixed agent/push-based device support, and integration with existing secrets backends
• An SLO framework for network services and components, including SLIs, SLOs, dashboards, alerts, ownership, tiering, and a clear link between reliability targets and engineering investment
• CI/CD for network devices, where configuration changes, validation, staged rollout, rollback, and blast-radius control become disciplined and repeatable
• Fleet-wide operational initiatives such as firmware consistency, device lifecycle hygiene, observability coverage, monitoring quality, alert ownership, or production readiness for new network capabilities

Benefits and Perks:

• Competitive compensation
• Career growth and learning opportunities
• Flexibility and ownership
• Collaborative and innovative culture
• Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
• International environment and talented teams
