About the Company: World is building a real human network designed to accelerate people in the age of AI. As bots and autonomous agents reshape the internet, people, institutions, and applications need a trusted way to confirm who is a real human while preserving privacy. Our products make this possible: the Orb verifies real people, World ID proves it privately, and World App enables and distributes the new applications made possible by this technology. Together, they form a new layer for AI internet. We’re one of the fastest-growing networks in tech. More than 17 million people across 160 countries have verified with World ID, and we complete over 350,000 verifications each week. World App is already among the most used wallets globally. Developers are integrating World ID to build safer online experiences and create spaces where real people can participate, earn, and be recognized in ways AI simply can’t replicate. World was founded in 2019 and launched globally in 2023. We are more than 400 people across hardware, software, AI, cryptography, mobile engineering, and global operations. Our teams come from OpenAI, Tesla, SpaceX, Apple, Google, Stripe, Meta, Coinbase, Palantir and MIT Media Lab. We’re backed by leading investors, including a16z, Khosla Ventures, Bain Capital Crypto, Blockchain Capital, Variant, Tiger Global, and Coinbase Ventures, as well as prominent operators and founders across fintech and AI.

About the team We're building the Orb — a biometric device at the center of Tools for Humanity's mission to verify human identity at scale. We're early stage, which means you'll have real ownership, work directly with founders and senior technical leads, and help define how we work as we grow. About the role As a Senior Software Program Manager, you'll own software program execution across a cross-functional team — software, firmware, hardware, and ops — keeping everything moving from early milestones through DVT, PVT, and into launch. You'll surface risks early, push for decisions when things stall, and make sure the right people have the right information at the right time. In this role, you will: - Own end-to-end execution for software workstreams tied to the Orb, from early engineering milestones through launch - Drive alignment across software, firmware, product and operations teams and keep leadership informed with an honest, clear read on where things stand - Manage program schedules, flag risks before they become fires, and help the team make faster decisions by bringing the right people into the room at the right time - Help build the program management foundations — processes, templates, and norms — that will scale with the company You might thrive in this role if you have: (competencies and qualities > experience > vague superlatives) - 5–8 years of program management experience with at least two full consumer electronics product cycles under your belt — concept through launch, not just part of the journey - A solid understanding of how software and firmware development intersects with hardware constraints and manufacturing timelines, and the ability to hold your own in technical conversations - Experience working in a startup or early-stage environment where you've had to build programs from scratch and figure things out as you go - Strong, direct communication skills — people should be able to trust your read on where things stand, even when the news isn't great Pay transparency statement (for CA and NY based roles): The reasonably estimated salary for this role at TFH in San Francisco ranges from $221,000 - $260,000, plus a competitive long term incentive package, and may include variable compensation. Actual compensation is based on factors such as the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. In addition, TFH offers a wide range of best in class, comprehensive and inclusive employee benefits for this role including healthcare, dental, vision and mental health benefits, a 401(k) plan and match, life insurance, flexible time off, commuter benefits, professional development stipend and much more!
