SENIORITY
Lead
About the role
Company Genesis is a global physical AI lab and full-stack robotics company. We build generalist robots to unlock unlimited physical labor, so humans can focus on creativity, curiosity, and what we love. We recently raised a $105M Seed round backed by Khosla Ventures and Eclipse, and we're looking to rapidly expand our software and hardware teams. As a result, we are looking for our first technical program management hire to own all things programs from hardware, software, and research.
What You'll Do:
- Drive cross-functional programs at the frontier of AI and robotics - from foundation model training to hardware-software integration - with relentless pace and accountability
- Turn ambitious goals into lean, unambiguous roadmaps: clear deliverables, clear owners, clear timelines
- Dive into robotics hardware, software, graphics, and large-scale AI to understand trade-offs, surface uncertainties, and ask the questions others miss
- Keep Bay Area and Europe teams tightly aligned, dependencies unblocked, and risks visible early
- Build lightweight systems (roadmaps, metrics, dashboards) that keep execution brutally focused
- What You'll Bring 8+ years leading complex technical programs end-to-end in high-intensity environments
- Strong technical depth and curiosity across disciplines - you learn fast and go deep where it matters
- Crisp, direct communication that aligns researchers, engineers, and leadership
- Bias for action and ownership - you don't just track, you drive to completion at breakneck speed
Bonus: experience in robotics, hardware/software integration, or research workflows
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
