About Us

TrekAI is an AI-powered educational platform designed to serve as an on-demand tutor for students and a teaching assistant for faculty. Built by educators, TrekAI enables teachers to save time, personalize learning, and communicate effectively in a safe, district-controlled environment. With over 40 purpose-built AI tools, TrekAI supports tasks like lesson planning, providing personalized feedback, and monitoring student progress to enhance learning outcomes. We're not just another edtech tool—we're building systems that empower educators while maintaining the highest standards of data privacy and pedagogical integrity. Our platform serves schools and districts across the country, helping teachers personalize learning at scale without sacrificing their professional judgment.

The Role

We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to join our engineering organization. This role reports to the Director of Engineering, works alongside our CTO on R&D and architecture initiatives, and partners closely with Product and Sales & Marketing. You'll own the delivery of technical programs end-to-end, bringing structure, visibility, and accountability to parallel workstreams so the team can stay focused on building.

What You'll Do

• Drive cross-functional program execution across engineering, product, and contractor teams. Own the coordination layer: schedules, dependencies, risks, and delivery milestones.

• Support engineering and product planning. Help translate strategic priorities into sequenced execution plans with clear milestones, owners, and acceptance criteria.

• Manage dependencies, risks, and accountability across concurrent initiatives. Identify conflicts early, surface blockers, and ensure decisions get made when they need to be made.

• Dig into the technical details. Participate in architecture and design reviews, review PRs and schema changes, and surface cross-cutting impacts with the end-to-end program in mind.

• Coordinate across contractor teams. Ensure cross-team alignment, hold teams accountable for delivery quality, and surface performance gaps. Help evaluate whether engagements are delivering value and inform decisions about scope, continuation, or transition. Maintain appropriate IP access boundaries between internal and external teams.

• Create and maintain program visibility. Own documentation of deliverables, statuses, and progress across workstreams. Surface contractor spend, infrastructure costs, and resource allocation data to inform budgeting decisions.

Who You Are

• Experience driving complex, multi-team initiatives in a growing company, coordinating across engineering, product, and external partners with a mix of internal and contractor resources.

• Strong technical background. You've worked deeply within engineering organizations and understand the difference between engineering and architecture. You recognize when architectural decisions create cross-cutting constraints or integration risks, and you can navigate a codebase well enough to ask the right questions.

• Strong communication skills. You can translate between technical and non-technical audiences, write clearly, and run meetings that people don't dread.

• Demonstrated proficiency with AI tools. Comfortable enough with tools like Claude Code to build your own dashboards, internal tools, or visualizations that help you communicate status and move faster.

• Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity. You identify problems and drive toward solutions without waiting to be told what to do. Priorities shift, requirements evolve, and you keep the program moving forward.

Nice to Have

• Experience in Education domain.
• Experience with data privacy compliance in sensitive domains (e.g., COPPA, FERPA, GDPR).

Location

Atlanta-based preferred. Open to remote candidates working in the Eastern time zone, with occasional travel for planning sessions and team collaboration.

Why TrekAI

• Mission-Driven: We're building educational technology the right way—transparent, ethical, and focused on empowering educators rather than replacing them
• Technical Excellence: Work with a team that cares about doing things properly, from database design to security implementation
• Real Impact: Your coordination will directly shape how a multi-platform product comes together to serve teachers and students across multiple school districts
• Autonomy: We trust you to own your domain and make decisions
• Growth: We're a growing company with room to expand your role and responsibilities
• Salary & Benefits: Trek offers competitive benefits and salary commensurate with the role such as paid time off (including flex holidays), professional development and growth opportunities, and an amazing collaborative/supportive culture.

Requirements
