Technical Program Manager
Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world
At Bedrock, we’re moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team is composed of industry veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we’re deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction machinery across the country, accelerating project schedules of billion-dollar infrastructure projects and improving safety on job sites. Backed by $350M in funding, we’re working quickly to close the gap between America's surging demand for housing, data centers, manufacturing hubs, and the construction industry's growing labor shortage.
This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You’ll collaborate with construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can’t touch. If you're ready to apply cutting-edge technology to solve meaningful problems alongside a talented team—we'd love to have you join us.
We’re seeking a stellar Technical Program Manager to drive some of Bedrock’s most critical initiatives, spanning Deployments, Infrastructure Platforms, and Interfaces. This pivotal role is at the heart of our mission, driving programs that bridge Engineering, Commercial, and Operations. You will partner intensely with world-class engineering teams to deliver the next generation of autonomous-capable construction machinery. This is a hands-on, high impact role for someone who thrives in early-stage environments and wants to shape durable processes that help a fast-growing company scale
What you’ll do:
Manage execution across Engineering, Commercial, and Operations, aligning deeply interdependent work-streams into a single, coherent plan.
Anticipate and mitigate program and technical risk, surfacing issues early and providing leadership with clear options and recommendations.
Balance tactical implementation with strategic execution, shaping roadmaps and dependencies while adapting quickly to a fast-moving environment.
Define and evolve lightweight program management practices that scale with the company and enable teams to move faster without compromising safety or quality.
Translate complex technical interdependencies—from cloud infrastructure to field operations—into aligned, actionable program plans, mastering cross-functional coordination.
Use excellent communication skills to facilitate high-stakes technical decision-making and help teams navigate tradeoffs across diverse engineering and operations work-streams.
Operate with a relentless sense of ownership for the success of programs you work on.
What you’ll bring:
5+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager or in a comparable technical leadership role, with a proven ability to deliver complex, multi-disciplinary systems involving cloud infrastructure, software applications, and physical deployments.
Deep domain experience in Infrastructure and Cloud Platforms, including familiarity with release, ML/Simulation loops, data storage, and security protocols required to support autonomous systems.
Experience delivering User-Facing Applications (Apps), such as partner-facing apps, task planning tools, or remote assistance platforms, ensuring a seamless interface between complex backend autonomy and end-user needs.
Operational expertise in Deployments, with a track record of managing release cycles, incident response programs, and the rollout of technical products to customer sites or new territories.
2+ years of professional experience leading programs involving safety-critical or high-reliability systems, understanding the rigor and validation required for systems operating in the physical world.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments, with a strong bias toward building lightweight structures and durable processes that help a growing company scale through complexity.
Our roles are often flexible. If you don't fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF or NY) please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you.
