About the Role

As a Staff/Senior Staff Technical Program Manager at Trase, you will own technical program execution dedicated to Red Cell Federal (RCF) and Red Cell Partners (RCP) incubations and portfolio companies. You will join Trase's dedicated RCF/RCP support team, with a strong focus on federal, government, and national security programs.

Red Cell Partners is an investment and incubation firm that builds and supports technology companies, including Trase. Red Cell Federal is our federal-focused partner within that ecosystem. This role helps RCF and other RCP partner companies adopt and operate Trase OS in their own environments. You will turn partner requirements into secure, reliable deployments and sustained operational support, with a strong focus on federal, government, and national security programs.

You will work with a dedicated team of full-stack software engineers and DevOps/SRE engineers, partnering closely with Trase Platform Engineering, Product, GRC, and RCF/RCP technical leaders. Your scope spans partner onboarding, integrations, environment readiness, releases, and ongoing support for RCF and RCP portfolio companies.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will drive decisions, resolve dependencies, and hold delivery commitments accountable from initial request through validated customer acceptance.

Scope of Responsibilities

Own RCF/RCP program delivery: translate ambiguous requests into scoped user stories, acceptance criteria, owners, dependencies, and small, testable milestones. Confirm feasibility with engineers before committing dates.
Establish a single intake and prioritized backlog with Product and RCF/RCP counterparts. Distinguish production blockers, security obligations, and committed customer needs from exploratory requests; keep partner-facing plans aligned with engineering execution.
Drive secure deployment readiness across customer-managed cloud, private-network, and on-premises environments. Track infrastructure prerequisites, access, networking, secrets, model-provider integrations, and end-to-end workflow validation.
Partner with GRC and security owners to incorporate applicable RMF/ATO, STIG, and impact-level requirements into delivery plans. Drive engineering remediation, evidence readiness, and approval dependencies while maintaining clear Trase/RCF/RCP responsibility boundaries.
Coordinate release and image handoffs, including versioning, compatibility, vulnerability scan results, software bills of materials, release manifests, deployment guides, and rollback readiness. Verify readiness before partner delivery.
Drive ongoing support for federal deployments, including Second Front where applicable: track patching, hardening, upgrades, security findings, and sustainment commitments with named engineering and GRC owners.
