About RunSybil
Founded in 2023 by Ari Herbert-Voss and Vlad Ionescu, RunSybil is on a mission to automate hacker intuition. We’re building Sybil: an AI-driven pentester that discovers vulnerabilities before they’re exploited. As adversaries adopt AI to increase their attack surface, we’re putting cutting-edge offensive security into the hands of defenders. Backed by strong investor support and early customer traction, our team is composed of experts from OpenAI, Meta, Mandiant, Palantir, Cruise, Trail of Bits, and Aptiv.
About the Role
We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to own how engineering ships at RunSybil. You will run the engineering operating rhythm, coordinate work across product engineering and security research, and make sure complex programs land on time without surprises. You will partner closely with engineering leadership and product to translate the roadmap into reality.
This role exists to make engineering more leveraged. You will be the operating system behind a small, fast-moving team, owning everything from sprint planning to launch readiness to the postmortems that keep us from repeating mistakes. Done well, this role makes engineering faster, more predictable, and more leveraged than it was before you got here.
What You’ll Do
Run the engineering operating rhythm, including sprint planning, standups, retros, and release planning, keeping the team focused and moving
Coordinate work across product engineering, security research, and infra, surfacing dependencies and making sure handoffs do not drop
Own delivery predictability across the engineering team, tracking what is on schedule, what is slipping, and why, and surface risk to leadership before it becomes a fire
Own launch readiness for every release, including the checklist, the cross-team sign-offs, and the post-launch debrief
Build the incident response playbook and run postmortems that turn one-time fires into permanent fixes
Define and track the engineering health metrics that tell us whether we are shipping well, from cycle time to deploy frequency to escape rate
Create the visibility layer for engineering, including dashboards, status updates, and the artifacts that let the rest of the company see what is happening without interrupting engineers
We’re Looking For Someone Who Has A Mix of The Following
6+ years in technical program management, engineering management, or a senior technical project leadership role at a software company
Track record of running engineering operating rhythms and shipping complex programs on time in close partnership with engineering leadership
Technically literate enough to read code, understand a modern software stack, and earn credibility with senior engineers from day one
AI-native with hands-on experience using AI tools to make engineering operations more leveraged
Builder’s instinct who sees a gap, builds the fix, and ships it without waiting for direction
Strong written communication with the ability to turn engineering activity into crisp status updates, risk calls, and decisions the team can rally around
Comfortable operating without a playbook, moving with urgency, and treating company resources like your own
Security or cybersecurity product experience is a strong plus but not required
Location: NYC (In-person)
Compensation: The base salary for this full-time position ranges from $210,000-$250,000 In addition to base salary, we offer meaningful equity. We want everyone here to have ownership in what we're building.

We encourage candidates of all races, ethnicities, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability or medical conditions, ages, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds to apply.
