About the Role:

Quizlet is seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to drive execution and alignment across large technical initiatives that span multiple engineering teams. While individual engineering teams execute well within their areas, cross-team technical initiatives require structured coordination, decision visibility, and sustained execution. This role sits at the intersection of the engineering organization and is responsible for driving alignment, clarity, and delivery across complex, company-wide programs.

Reporting directly to the VP of Engineering, you will translate engineering strategy into structured execution—ensuring our most important technical investments are prioritized correctly, sequenced thoughtfully, and delivered with rigor. This is a senior individual contributor role with broad organizational influence. You will lead through ownership, technical credibility, and disciplined execution rather than direct people management.

We’re happy to share that this is an onsite position in our San Francisco office. To help foster team collaboration, we require that employees be in the office a minimum of three days per week: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and as needed by your manager or the company. We believe this work environment enhances efficiency, fosters collaboration, and supports growth for both employees and the organization.
