We operate in a huge, but overlooked market in a country with the least amount of financial technology innovation in the developed world. Our first act is to become the cheapest and best provider of short-term credit to the 20 million people in Canada who live paycheck to paycheck.\nMore than 800,000 Canadians have already signed up with Bree and we believe we are just scratching the surface. We are in an exciting place where we have product market fit, explosive growth, and a clear path to becoming one of the most important FinTechs in Canada.\nWe have had zero voluntary employee churn. We were part of Y Combinator in 2021 and raised a $2M seed round shortly after.\nAbout the Role\nBree’s engineering team works across customer-facing products, regulatory expansion, payments, infrastructure, security, data, and machine learning. As the company grows, the work increasingly spans multiple teams and requires clearer ownership, sequencing, and communication.\nWe are looking for a Technical Program Manager to help turn company priorities into well-defined engineering programs and carry them through to release.\nYou will work closely with Engineering, Product, Design, CX, Operations, Legal, and leadership. You will help clarify the problem, break large initiatives into manageable workstreams, identify dependencies, establish ownership, and make sure decisions and risks remain visible.\nThis is not a meeting coordinator or status-reporting role. You should be technical enough to understand how an API, database migration, mobile release, third-party integration, or model change affects a project. You will not be expected to write production code, but you will be expected to ask the questions that help the team make better decisions.\nWhat You'll Do\nTurn ambiguous ML, engineering, and product priorities into scoped, sequenced work engineers can actually execute against.\n\nWrite specs and scoping docs that hold up: understanding real tradeoffs like training data quality, inference latency, retraining cadence, and infra cost well enough to capture them accurately.\n\nRun the cadence: standups, sprint planning, model review syncs (but only the ones that earn their seat).\n\nGive exec a weekly read on what shipped, what's at risk, and what decision you need from them, in a form that takes three minutes, not thirty.\n\nCatch drift early - a model underperforming in validation, a pipeline with a data quality issue, a deploy stuck behind a monitoring gap - before it becomes a missed deadline.\n\nWhat You'll Need\nExperience as a Technical Program Manager, Program Manager, Product Manager, or similar role supporting a software engineering organization.\n\nEnough technical fluency to understand APIs, data models, system integrations, cloud infrastructure, release processes, and software dependencies.\n\nComfort operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities and requirements can change.\n\nExcellent attention to detail, especially around ownership, dependencies, timelines, and unresolved decisions.\n\nAn AI-native working style, using tools to accelerate research, documentation, meeting synthesis, backlog management, and status reporting while validating the output.\n\nNice to Have\nPrior experience at an early-stage startup with no existing PM function to inherit. You've built the system, not just run one.\n\nFamiliarity with mobile and web release processes, feature flags, staged rollouts, and production monitoring.\n\nExperience supporting infrastructure, security, data, or machine learning initiatives.\n\nComfort reading SQL, logs, dashboards, or technical documentation to validate a claim independently.\n\nFamiliarity with tools such as Linear, Notion, GitHub, Datadog, and Slack.\n\nFull-Time Employee Benefits Include:\nTop of the market compensation for top performers\nComprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits plan\n$1,500 one-time setup + $500/year annual learning & home-office stipend\n$1,500 annual wellness stipend\nFree lunch provided in office daily\nRemote-first during the winter\nCommuter Benefits\nPaid Parental leave\n20 annual PTO days + unlimited sick days\nQuarterly Team Gatherings\nIn Office Amenities","description_format":"text","description_chars":4318,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Consumer Loans & Pawnshops"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-18T23:44:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.395,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":45,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":113742,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bree-technical-program-product-manager-tpm","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bree-technical-program-product-manager-tpm.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T04:08:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6444,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":669317},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=669317"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbree-technical-program-product-manager-tpm"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbree-technical-program-product-manager-tpm"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbree-technical-program-product-manager-tpm"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bree-technical-program-product-manager-tpm\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbree-technical-program-product-manager-tpm"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1050452}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"trybree.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1050452},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
