Technical Program Manager (TPM) interviews demand a unique combination of technical depth, systems thinking, and leadership influence. Unlike product managers who focus on features, or project managers who focus on schedules, TPMs must coordinate across multiple engineering teams, understand architectural constraints, and drive alignment without direct authority.
The best TPMs are architects who can see beyond the immediate project to understand how decisions ripple across teams and systems. They communicate in both technical and business terms, de-risk complex launches, and unblock teams through influence and clarity.
How it works
- Practice complex cross-functional coordination scenarios modeled on real TPM interviews from Amazon, Google, Meta, and other leading tech companies
- Get AI-powered feedback on your dependency mapping, risk mitigation, and unblocking strategies
- Build skills across cross-functional leadership, technical systems thinking, and program execution
- Track your progress across 20+ TPM competencies with adaptive difficulty
Why TPM interviews need dedicated prep
TPM interviews are fundamentally different from PM or engineering interviews. They test your ability to see across team boundaries, understand technical constraints, and influence senior engineers without authority. Most candidates struggle because they either over-focus on the project management aspects (timelines, resources) while missing the technical depth, or they get too deep in architecture while losing sight of the human coordination challenge.
The AI coach pushes you on the specifics: What's the critical path? Where's the technical risk? How would you unblock that backend team? What would you do if the infrastructure team needed 2 more weeks? These are the questions that separate 90th-percentile candidates from the rest.
Built for aspiring Technical Program Managers
This is for engineers and product managers stepping into TPM roles, or TPMs preparing for interviews at scaled tech companies. Whether you're interviewing for your first TPM role or moving to a more complex organization, you'll practice the exact scenarios these companies ask.
