AI Technical Program Manager

Drive mission AI from contract to fielded capability across cleared teams and high-consequence environments.

Technical program managers at Torch.AI own the path from a mission need to a fielded capability. You translate ambiguity into delivery, keep cadence under real security constraints, and make sure what ships actually serves the mission. It is program management where the outcome matters and the environment is anything but standard.

What you would actually do

• Turn mission needs into engineering. Translate ambiguous, high-stakes mission requirements into scoped, buildable work the team can execute.
• Deliver in accredited environments. Keep programs moving through the security, classification, and accreditation constraints that shape every milestone.
• Coordinate cleared teams and stakeholders. Align engineers, mission partners, and customers across boundaries, including where the work itself is restricted.
• Protect the outcome. Hold the line on quality, auditability, and mission fit while keeping delivery on cadence.

Is this you?

You will thrive here if you:

• Run toward ambiguity and turn it into a plan the team can execute.
• Want delivery that reaches a mission, not a status deck.
• Like owning outcomes across hard constraints instead of ideal conditions.
• Hold or can hold a U.S. security clearance.

This may not be for you if: you want fully specified requirements handed to you, you prefer process over outcome, or you would rather stay far from the mission the program serves.

The craft and the standards

Our programs are high-consequence, so the bar is delivery that is correct, auditable, and genuinely useful to the mission. You will work with engineers and mission partners who hold that bar.

Security clearance

Many roles require an active U.S. security clearance; others are open to clearable U.S. persons, with sponsorship for the right person.
