## Description

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead execution across the teams developing an AI-powered, autonomous vulnerability operations platform. The role sits between vulnerability researchers, software engineers, machine learning engineers, and government stakeholders, and is responsible for translating an evolving technical capability into a product delivered on a predictable release cadence.

Responsibilities could span roadmap and release planning, dependency management across model providers and third-party components, and coordination of accreditation and deployment timelines for a range of implementation environments and diverse customer stakeholders. The Technical Program Manager will maintain sufficient technical depth to evaluate estimates, identify unstated dependencies, and communicate scope, schedule, and risk accurately to both engineering teams and senior stakeholders.
