Technical Project Manager

Who we are:  Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us. We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet—and at Rover, our mission is to make it easier to experience that love. Founded in 2011, the Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, and Europe. We empower our community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses on Rover with the tools and security of a global company to back them. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, we work closely with our teams in Barcelona, London, San Antonio, Spokane and remote locations. We’ve got a reputation for being a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. We're an agile, fast-growing company, and our leadership comes from some of the world's most respected tech companies.  At Rover, our furry coworkers are just as important as our human ones—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Along with making the joys of pet parenthood more accessible, we’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community of pet people—and that starts with our employees. What We Do: The Data Platform team leverages Redshift, RDS, Docker, Python, Kafka, EMR and other technologies to ensure application databases are healthy and the data available to our business is fresh and correct with an eye towards enabling data self-service across the entire organization. We manage the performance and stability of our production databases for the web application and our data visualization platform, as well as reporting and machine learning needs of our data scientists, business analysts, and a cross-section of operations teams who want to better manage their operations with effective business insights. We believe in creating the tooling to provide data in a self service manner to our users across the org to achieve their reporting, analytics, machine learning, and service needs.  Who we're looking for: We're looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to help us manage and execute our migration to a new data visualization platform all the way from RFP to standing up a new platform and migrating over content from our legacy platform. You will help define what processes and best practices will be most effective for the team for requirements gathering, project scoping, managing to milestones through completion of initiatives. You will meet with stakeholders to understand the needs of the business and partner with the Data Platform team and our cross-functional partners to craft the best solutions that leverage our existing architecture and processes to meet the project requirements. In addition, this individual will help execute initiatives to scale the data infrastructure platform at Rover. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, has excellent communication skills, loves to work on cutting edge technology and has a propensity for problem solving. Ideally, you'll have experience with managing projects dealing with data at scale in a fast paced, agile, and technically exceptional team.    Rover is an equal opportunity employer committed to promoting a diverse, inclusive and inventive environment with the best employees.
