## About the role

We're hiring a Technical Program Manager to be the connective tissue across this system: the person who can see the full dependency graph, from a hardware decision through the robot's software stack, through the AI model, through the cloud pipeline, to what a retail partner sees on their dashboard, and make sure nothing falls through the seams between teams. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on technical experience: you've personally built, integrated, or debugged a complex product that spans physical hardware and robotics software, not just managed a team that did
- Depth in at least one of hardware/robotics software (ROS or comparable middleware) or cloud/data platforms, real fluency across the others
- Comfort driving a room of engineers who don't report to you. You guide decisions and shape estimates through technical insight and collaborative problem-solving
- A track record on programs where a hardware or software slip has real-world consequences, a customer site, a fleet in the field, a fixed external date, not just an internal roadmap
