The platform systems, powered by our Scientific Foundation Model, are designed to be used by a wide range of consumers, from government to industry and academia. We move at the pace of a company still shaping what it's becoming - priorities shift as products and customers teach us what matters. Decisions are made close to the work, by whoever's closest to the problem, not routed through layers of sign-off. You'll sit across multiple product teams (AhamX, KogneX, BrahmX, and others), which means your job is coordination and judgment, not paperwork for its own sake.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn program management across Engineering - track releases against roadmaps and close the gap when they drift apart • Drive progress reporting that gives leadership and product teams insights into current status and required course corrections\nOwn release packaging and distribution - making sure what ships is what was actually meant to ship, on the right channel, at the right time\nOwn release documentation and release notes - clear enough that engineering, support, and customers all understand what changed and why • Identify cross-team dependencies and risks early enough to act on them, not just report on them after the fact\nRun the cadence that keeps engineering, product, and leadership aligned, without adding process overhead • Push back on scope, timelines, or process when they threaten a release - even when that's an uncomfortable conversation\nWhat We're Looking For\nMust have:\n7+ years of experience in program or release management, ideally spanning multiple engineering teams or products at once\nDirect, hands-on experience owning release packaging, distribution, and documentation\nLeverage PM tools to reconcile roadmap commitments against actual release progress and surface the gap before it becomes a crisis\nStrong stakeholder management - ability to communicate, negotiate with, and influence engineering, product, leadership, and external clients / vendors\nClear, direct communicator, strong on collaboration and accountability\nHands-on experience with tracking systems like JIRA / Zoho Projects / Microsoft Projects\nGood to have:\nExperience in a startup or deep-tech environment where roadmaps shift often\nFamiliarity with Agile/Scrum delivery models, trained in PMP / Six Sigma\nExposure to engineering concepts (APIs, deployments, CI/CD) - enough to understand what a release actually involves\nExperience setting up program management practices from scratch, rather than inheriting a mature process\nRole Details\nSenior - 6 to 10 years\nTeam - Delivery\nMode - Full Time from onsite, Bangalore - Jakkuru - Vista Pixel AWFIS","description_format":"text","description_chars":2882,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Machine Learning","STEM Education","Simulation & Digital Twin Software","AI for Science"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T04:25:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-05T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zenteiq-program-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zenteiq-program-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T00:10:36Z","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","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":160,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4840,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"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":1338},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1338"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzenteiq-program-manager"},{"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%2Fzenteiq-program-manager"},{"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%2Fzenteiq-program-manager"},{"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/zenteiq-program-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzenteiq-program-manager"}]}
