About the Role

This is a career-defining opportunity to play a crucial role in a hyper-scale AI company that is transforming the future of autonomous systems, energy, and the built environment.

As a Software Project Manager at PassiveLogic, you will guide cross-functional teams through the software delivery lifecycle. You will maintain delivery plans, coordinate dependencies, manage risks, and balance long-term platform goals with near-term releases.

What you’ll do

Help software teams move forward when complexity slows progress: Use your technical fluency and project leadership to clear blockers, resolve dependencies, and keep teams focused on valuable, reliable releases. Approach problem-solving with a bias for action and data-driven decision-making, even when conditions are imperfect.

Lead software planning and execution: Build and maintain project plans, milestones, and delivery roadmaps. Guide cross-functional teams through structured workstreams, clarify ownership, and keep stakeholders accountable to scope, schedule, quality, and business outcomes.

Drive delivery with a focus on exceptional user experience: Partner with product, design, and engineering to translate customer needs into sequenced work while balancing user experience, technical constraints, quality, and timely delivery.

Support design and validate readiness: Help product, design, engineering, and quality teams turn approved designs into clear requirements, acceptance criteria, and release plans. Verify that delivered software aligns with the intended experience.

Give teams the visibility they need to make good decisions: Clearly communicate plans, progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, and roadblocks. Produce concise reporting that supports timely decisions and keeps stakeholders aligned.

Improve delivery with modern tools and practices: Evaluate software delivery trends and introduce practical improvements that help teams plan and release more effectively.
