Technical Program Manager - Software Systems

Join a Mission That MattersTorch.AI is building the AI Control Layer for the United States Government.The WorkWe are building the AI Control Layer that makes sense of messy, adversarial, multi-domain data at machine speed so commanders, analysts, and operators can act with clarity when it matters most. Our platform—ORCUS (data movement), NEXUS (deep semantic vectorization), and HALO (graph-native reasoning)—is accredited, deployed, and operating today across enterprise clouds and tactical edge environments. We support multi-INT fusion, predictive movement analysis, targeting workflows, anomaly detection, and decision support for cross-domain operations including ISR, information advantage, joint effects, and force protection.We seek candidates who want to build systems that operate under real constraints: degraded visibility, adversarial mis-/disinformation, intermittent connectivity, low-SWA-P hardware, and seconds-to-decision timelines. This is operational AI. It ships, runs, and gets used.What Makes Torch.AI DifferentWe believe the government must own its data, its decision environment, and its reasoning infrastructure. Our AI Control Layer increases the value of existing systems of record rather than replacing them. We measure performance by accuracy, latency, and efficiency, not slideware benchmarks. We are craftsmen, build with intention, and ship with discipline.People Who Succeed HereAre builders, not curators. They ship and iterate.Are comfortable with messy data, unclear requirements, and real mission constraints without always having the luxury of clear specs.Respect operators and prioritize utility over elegance.Care about explainability and determinism because real decisions demand auditability.Move quickly but understand security boundaries and accreditation realities.Measure success by operational impact, not model novelty.We are fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and mission-driven. If you need perfect conditions and months of runway, this may not be the right place. If you want to see your work used in production and feel the weight of that responsibility, we should talk.Security ClearanceThis role requires an active Secret, Top Secret, or Top Secret/SCI clearance. Where required, candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate clearance level.U.S. citizenship is required for all positions. Torch.AI does not sponsor employment visas. If you do not currently hold a clearance but are eligible, sponsorship may be available depending on role and mission requirements.Work LocationThis role is based in our headquarters in Leawood, KS.
