Project Manager and Technical Lead (Backend/DevOps)

2026

Brutige · Remote

  • Assumed full PM authority over a 6 person team after 7 months of uncoordinated development had left the frontend running on mock services and the backend built against a model that did not match the actual product.
  • Led a complete technical and product turnaround: audited the existing codebases, authored a full PRD, and ratified a 12 table relational domain model.
  • Restructured delivery into a phased, ticketed sprint system with explicit Definitions of Done, and made binding product scope decisions.
  • Operated simultaneously as product manager, technical architect, and DevOps lead for the team.
