Technical Program Manager Jobs

Company Description
Being part of a growing company in the cleantech sector and contributing to the global transition to a circular economy appeals to you? That’s exactly what our employees do every day. Enerkem is based on a revolutionary idea: transforming non-recyclable waste into clean fuels and renewable chemicals. Our Canadian-designed solution offers an innovative and sustainable alternative to landfilling and incineration while reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
Such an ambitious mission requires people who strive to make a difference. Our employees are the best in their field; they are tenacious and passionate contributors who transform challenges into opportunities. Our culture values individual ideas and contributions to the company’s success. It is an organization where you can lead and inspire others within a creative and dynamic team.

YOUR PROFILE
You are recognized for your ability to put together technology and resources in an agile project management environment, delivering IT solutions quickly across various business units. You have a hands-on approach with a result-oriented mindset. You are looking to have an impact, in your job, your workplace, and the world too, by working for a company that brings innovation to solve some of the world’s more difficult problems.
You are a either tech lead or a top sysadmin with a tick for DevOps. You use windows only because Office doesn't work well on Linux, but the first thing you installed was cygwin; you run Mac because feels like Linux, but in reality you have a Linux laptop when things get serious. You write a little piece of java, python, nodejs, or bash to scrap data from the web and put it in your postgresql database, or push it into an API somewhere on the web. Then you set up a cron job to make it work every day. Json is your second language, although you tolerate CSV files and even XML when you are in a good mood. The first thing you look at in a product is its APIs and database. You have no problems running SQL from a command line or in a nice IDE. You can setup a Nifi server to help you move data around. You can set up some webservices integrated with Twilio (or similar) so you can send an SMS to activate your home alarm. You quickly understand how all systems in the company work together, and talk to each other; and you can always draw a map on a whiteboard to define how a new one can interconnect in a reliable way. You can always pull up a trick to use AWS or Azure services to solve an integration problem. The only thing that prevents you from sleeping at night is an unsolved problem. You are admired by your teammates for your recursive ability to solve them. Learning is a natural state for you, and if you are not learning you fall asleep.
