🏢 About Rover

We are proud to be recognized as a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. At Rover we’re committed to creating an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community, which starts with our employees.

🎯 The Role

Every feature Rover ships travels the same path: the environment an engineer builds in, the CI that verifies high quality, the design system it’s assembled from, and the release that puts it in front of pet parents and pet service providers. Two teams own that path: Developer Experience and Client Platform. Their vision is to make development faster, more reliable, and less painful for all makers. As the TPM supporting these teams, your role is to help them deliver that vision. You’ll join Rover’s Technical Program Management team, a small and growing function that sits at the center of how engineering delivers complex, cross-functional work.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Develop the roadmap for your programs with the engineering managers leading these teams, turning their priorities into a plan with clear objectives, sequencing, and measures of success.
• Drive that plan through to delivery: run the cadence, keep dependencies visible, identify risks early, and drive them to resolution or escalate with clarity and context when you can’t.
• Lead the highest-impact initiatives across Developer Experience and Client Platform, including the work that falls between the two teams, coordinating with the teams that depend on them.
• Communicate change across the makers who depend on these platforms, from engineers to PMs, designers, and analysts, covering what is shipping, what is coming, and how teams should plan around it. Drive adoption of what these teams build, not just delivery of it.
• Aggregate what makers actually need. Run the feedback loops with developers and other internal users, turn dense, messy input into a prioritized recommendation, and lead the process that gets the engineering managers to a decision on where to invest.
