Technical Program Manager

📍 New York City (SoHo) | In-office

💰 $120,000 - $140,000 + equity

About the Role

Salsa is hiring a Technical Program Manager to own the end-to-end delivery of partner integrations. You'll help our customers ("partners") build and launch their own products via Salsa's APIs.

You'll be the single-threaded owner for every new partner integration, from kickoff through production launch. You lead partner meetings, own timelines and outcomes, and are accountable for getting

integrations live, on time, and ready to launch to the world.

This is not a narrow TPM role. It combines technical depth, program ownership, partner-facing leadership, and operational execution, and coordinating both the engineering and technical integration journey as well as the non technical aspects of getting partners ready to launch.

What You’ll Do

• Own partner integrations from contract signature through production launch
• Lead all partner integration meetings and serve as the primary point of contact
• Define timelines, milestones, and launch readiness criteria
• Own the technical delivery plan (APIs, data flows, environments)
• Coordinate across Product, Engineering, Compliance, Support, and Sales
• Identify risks, manage dependencies, and drive issues to resolution
• Own go-live execution and post-launch stabilization
• Build repeatable integration processes to reduce time-to-launch

What Success Looks Like

• Partners launch on time and with confidence
• Integrations are technically sound and operationally ready
• Cross-functional teams experience less thrash
• Partner launches become faster and more repeatable over time

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years experience in technical program management, solutions engineering, or partner integrations
• Strong understanding of APIs, data integrations, and system workflows
• Experience working directly with external partners and technical teams
• Proven ability to own complex, cross-functional programs end-to-end
• Comfortable operating in regulated or high-stakes environments

Preferred:

• Experience in fintech, payroll, payments, or HR tech
• Experience forward deployed, launching products externally (via external stakeholders/channel partners/customers/partners) rather than internal feature release experience a plus!

About Salsa

Salsa is rebuilding one of the most critical parts of the business stack: payroll.

We provide modern, API-first payroll infrastructure that software platforms embed directly into their products. These software platforms are our customers (“partners”) and they aren’t reselling payroll — they’re launching it as a native product under their own brand. We’re opening a role to help these partners become more successful launching their products as measured by faster adoption and more revenue.

We’re a team of experienced fintech operators focused on execution and building things that work in the real world. Salsa has raised $30M to date from top tier investors.
