What are the responsibilities of a Junior Project Manager?
Once you start your career at scandiweb, your first responsibility is to complete onboarding in the company, setting you up in all the processes and systems.
This process is outlined in our Learning System and you will be supported by an HR member of our team.
Your next responsibility is to complete the Starter Training Course to ensure that you can join a commercial project with a minimum necessary knowledge of the workflow and quality requirements.
Once you start your active work in the role of Junior Project Manager, your responsibilities are:
Converting high-level user stories into smaller tasks, making sure the task aligns with the capabilities of the platform requiring configuration, styling, extension, or custom coding to achieve the necessary result;
Scheduling and facilitating set team processes such as daily standup, sprint planning, and demos;
Maintaining a friendly ambiance within your team, engaging our Events Team to arrange ice-breaking or celebratory events for your team;
Notifying the Senior Project Manager assigned to you or the Delivery Manager of any blockers, concerns, or issues beyond your resolution ability;
Keeping project roadmap and timeline updated, understanding project scope, and escalating once you see that there is a scope creep risk from design changes, functionality changes, or third-party dependency changes;
Being able to provide feedback on your team's competence, ability to communicate, and deliver results on time;
Assessing project scope versus resources available and requesting the Resourcing team to onboard extra or offboard some team members;




Maintaining active communication with customers and third-party teams to resolve any pending questions with them or elevate such to your more senior colleagues;
Collaborating with internal competency centers to improve delivery results and ensure the use of best practices;
Upgrading existing competencies by taking part in the relevant certification processes organized by the company;
Deepening your knowledge of libraries, frameworks, and platforms that are necessary for a successful delivery for customers;
Integrating internal and external AI tools and Co-pilots to improve the speed and quality of your Project Management work;
At scandiweb, we are committed to developing well-rounded professionals.
You'll have the chance to grow beyond your initial role by gaining cross-disciplinary expertise to stay on top of industry trends and excel in the future as an eCommerce expert.
Remember, at scandiweb, you will be given the necessary and sufficient training to understand the capabilities of the tools and platforms we are using.
This knowledge is a key success factor in describing, detailing, and delegating work to your team.
At scandiweb, a Project Manager is not merely an administrative role putting together charts, timelines, and facilitating processes, but instead is a driving force for the project delivery coming from understanding platform capabilities and customer needs on a business level.
There is a component of a small-scale Solution Architect in our Project Management role.
This will help you to advance further in your career and not face the usual Project Management glass ceiling.
Further career growth for Junior Project Manager
You will get support in career counseling from our HR department as each career path is unique taking into account your personal strengths and ambitions.
A successful Junior Project Manager becomes an independent Project Manager within a year mastering the technology, communication, and business context of their work while
Project managers typically advance to a Senior Project Manager role within the next 1-2 years by gaining the ability to oversee multiple projects and their teams, to lead the work of Junior Project managers while understanding and addressing core concerns of customers and ensuring delivery in cooperation with Delivery Managers and other internal parties.




The role culminates in a Dto optimize the serving infrastructure for scalability and reliability on resource‐constrained systems.Work closely with cross‐functional teams to integrate optimized serving and inference frameworks into production pipelines designed for edge and on‐device applications.
Define clear success metrics such as improved real‐world performance, low error rates, robust scalability, optimal memory usage and ensure continuous monitoring and iterative refinements for sustained improvements.A degree in Computer Science or related field.
Ideally PhD in NLP, Machine Learning, or a related field, complemented by a solid track record in AI R&D; (with good publications in A* conferences).
Must have knowledge of Metal Shading Language (MSL).
You should be comfortable writing custom compute shaders from scratch.Proven experience in low‐level kernel optimizations and inference optimization on mobile devices is essential.
Your contributions should have led to measurable improvements in inference latency, throughput, and memory footprint for domain‐specific applications, particularly on resource‐constrained devices and edge platforms.A deep understanding of modern model serving architectures and inference optimization techniques is required.
This includes state‐of‐the‐art methods for achieving low‐latency, high‐throughput performance, and efficient memory management in diverse, resource‐constrained deployment scenarios.Must have strong expertise in writing GPU kernels for mobile devices (i.e., smartphones) as well as a deep understanding of model serving frameworks and engines.
Practical experience in developing and deploying end‐to‐end inference pipelines, from optimizing models for efficient serving to integrating these solutions on resource‐constrained devices is required.Demonstrated ability to apply empirical research to overcome challenges in model serving, such as latency optimization, computational bottlenecks, and memory constraints.
You should be proficient in designing robust evaluation frameworks and iterating on optimization strategies to continuously push the boundaries of inference performance and system efficiency.Distributed Inference Systems: Designing and optimizing high‐performance inference engines using techniques like Tensor Parallelism, Pipeline Parallelism, and Expert Parallelism to handle massive models on GPU clusters.Deep understanding of the math and structure behind Diffusion Models and Vision TransformersUnderstanding of Pruning, Quantization, Flash attention, KV Cache, Speculative Decoding (Eagle) etc.
