Technical Program Manager - Securities Trading Platform

About the Project
We're rebuilding a next-generation securities trading platform - a modern, high-performance mobile superapp that connects securely to a leading securities core system and integrates AI-powered investment assistance.
Phase 1 includes:
● Rewriting the mobile app in Flutter for iOS and Android.
● Rebuilding the backend in Go (Golang) to integrate with an on-prem securities core via RESTful APIs.
● Adding an AI chatbot hosted on AWS Cloud, combining multiple data sources for intelligent market insights.
We're looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive delivery across teams and vendors, ensuring on-time, on-budget, and high-quality execution.
Key Responsibilities
Program Management & Delivery
● Own end-to-end delivery of the trading app rebuild (mobile + backend + AI chatbot).
● Maintain the program roadmap, milestones, dependencies, and delivery KPIs (schedule, budget, quality).
● Coordinate across internal engineering teams, external vendors, and core-system partners.
● Identify delivery risks early, manage dependencies, and ensure smooth handoffs between teams.
● Lead release management, including blue-green deployment, rollback testing, and version rollout.
● Track progress through structured weekly reporting (velocity, risks, QA metrics).
Cross-Team Coordination
● Partner with:
○ Senior Engineer (Trading App) - overseeing Flutter + Go implementation.
○ Senior Engineer (AI) - delivering chatbot and data integration features.
○ Technical Architect - validating architecture, security, and performance targets.
○ BA and QA Teams - ensuring requirement traceability and quality coverage.
○ 1-2 mid-level Engineers and a Devops/AWS engineer
● Manage communication and delivery alignment between internal product teams, backend partners, infrastructure stakeholders, and external data providers.
Technical Oversight
● Understand and track system architecture, including API Gateway, Middleware, and hybrid on-prem / cloud infrastructure.
● Ensure compliance with security and regulatory standards (TLS, audit trails, data retention).
● Supervise integration testing and end-to-end validation across mobile, backend, and AI components.
● Oversee observability and performance using monitoring tools (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana).
● Participate in performance benchmarking and scaling reviews (< 300 ms order latency, > 55 FPS mobile chart and stock feed).
Governance & Reporting
● Maintain comprehensive project documentation and change logs.
● Define and verify acceptance criteria for each release milestone.
● Coordinate compliance checks, penetration tests, and security audits.
● Report regularly to executive sponsors on delivery status and risk posture.
