About Us
Alert Venture Foundry (AVF) is a venture studio catalyzing innovation in robotics and intelligent systems.

We are looking for an experienced, senior-level Technical Program Manager who is a hands-on execution leader across both software and hardware systems. This is not a coordinator or facilitator role. You will be expected to understand what engineers are building at a system level, challenge technical assumptions, identify risks early, and drive programs to completion. The role is approximately 50% software and 50% hardware, supporting products that span cloud services, embedded software, firmware, electronics, mechanical systems, and intelligent edge platforms. You will operate as a force multiplier for engineering leadership, not an administrative layer. This role will include working Mon–Thu in office, Fridays from home.
