We're Blue River, a team of innovators driven to create intelligent machinery that solves monumental problems for our customers. We empower our customers – farmers, construction crews, and foresters - to implement safer and more sustainable solutions, driving increased profitability with less reliance on scarce labor. We believe that focusing on the small stuff – pixel-by-pixel and task-by-task - leads to big gains.
Blue River Technology aligns with John Deere's vision to "innovate on behalf of humanity" by quickly identifying and solving high-value, high-uncertainty challenges in AI, machine learning, computer vision, and robotics. BRT acts as a research and development flywheel, building not only new products but also new platforms that reliably create value for both Deere and its customers. From fully autonomous machines to highly precise farming equipment, BRT and Deere are partnering to create technical breakthroughs in industries like agriculture and construction.
Our people are at the heart of what we do. Through cross-disciplinary collaboration, this mission-driven team is eager to define the new frontier of robotics. We are always asking hard questions, rapidly iterating, and getting our boots in the field to figure it out. We won't give up until we've made a tangible and positive impact on the planet!
Blue River Technology is based in Santa Clara, CA.
Summary
We are seeking a highly technical, collaborative Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to guide the evolution of our core technology platforms. This team is responsible for building the robotics engineering foundations that enable our autonomy and automation programs to build, train, and operate intelligent machines at scale. In this role, you will connect advanced machine learning with scalable infrastructure. We value thoughtful program ownership and trajectory facilitation over passive administration or information brokerage. The ideal candidate is energetic and ready to learn quickly, thrives in highly collaborative spaces, and is ready to operate as a deep owner of high-impact program outcomes.
- Employment Type: Full-Time
- Work Location: Remote in the United States
- Visa sponsorship is possible for this position.
Job Responsibilities
A combination, not necessarily all-inclusive, of the following:
- Serve as the outcome and domain owner for a portfolio of technical programs; be prepared to bootstrap ambitious, ambiguous, large-scale strategic initiatives into clear, structured execution paths.
- Weave complex, cross-organizational interdependencies into a singular, harmonious program strategy that unifies diverse engineering groups.
- Evangelize the program's strategy across the core platform engineering teams and the robotics programs that use our foundational tooling.
- Replace administrative status updates with an authoritative, bottom-up framework that clearly articulates milestones, sequences, and critical paths to executive leadership.
- Act as a high-velocity roadblock smasher, using your program tooling to identify engineering bottlenecks and re-chart course as necessary to guarantee high-quality, on-time program delivery.
- Build the connective tissue between cross-functional groups, ensuring deep understanding, operational symmetry, and goal alignment across teams.
- Shape and contribute deeply to strategic roadmaps for developing our robotics platform.
- Work cross-functionally to develop best practices and development processes in a dynamic environment, driving impact through the deployment of key initiatives and garnering adoption of those processes.
Required Experience and Skills
- At least 7+ years of experience driving complex, cross-functional technical programs.
- Strong track record of building alignment across diverse technical teams without formal authority.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex architectural concepts into clear, actionable program milestones.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering or related technical discipline; or equivalent practical experience.
- Proficiency with agile project management tools such as Jira and Confluence.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with large-scale systems.
- Excellent communication, time management, and prioritization skills.
- Systems design or technical architecture experience, with the ability to understand and contribute to high-level system design discussions.

- PhD or MS in computer science, statistics, or a related quantitative field
- Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow

Tips for Your Remote Machine Learning Research Job Search
Lead with reproducible research outputs
Your resume should link to public repositories, preprints, or published papers so hiring teams can verify your work. Listing model names or benchmark scores without evidence won't move you past an initial screening for a research role.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists machine learning research openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by research stage focus
Some teams want applied researchers who ship models to production, while others want fundamental researchers who write papers. Read job descriptions carefully for phrases like 'product impact' versus 'novel contributions' to avoid applying to roles that don't match your actual work style.
Tailor your PhD or postdoc framing carefully
Industry hiring managers value academic credentials but worry about translation to shipping timelines. Frame dissertation work around the problem you solved and its practical scope, not the methodological novelty, so it reads as relevant to a product-adjacent research team.
Prepare a research presentation for onsite rounds
Most machine learning research onsites include a whiteboard or slide presentation of a past project. Choose a paper or project where you made a non-obvious design decision, because interviewers probe trade-offs, not just results.
Negotiate compute and publication rights separately
Salary negotiation in research roles often matters less than access to GPU clusters and the company's policy on publishing findings. Clarify publication approval timelines and compute allocation during the offer stage, not after you've accepted.
Remote Machine Learning Research Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote machine learning research job?
Target companies that already run distributed teams, since they hire remotely by default and know how to onboard someone they never meet in person. Remote machine learning research employers screen hard for self-direction and clear written communication on top of the core skills, so show evidence you can own work without someone over your shoulder. Apply to the openings above that match your experience.
Which companies hire remote machine learning researchs?
Companies hiring remote machine learning researchs include CVS Health, Alvarez & Marsal, and Netflix, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Remote-first firms and large companies running distributed teams post the most remote machine learning research roles.
Can you get a remote machine learning research job with no experience?
Yes, but it is harder than an on-site role, because remote work expects you to operate independently from the start. Entry-level remote machine learning research openings do exist, especially at remote-first companies, and a portfolio of real work helps more than a long resume. Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.
Do you need a degree for remote machine learning research jobs?
Not always. Many employers hire remote machine learning researchs on demonstrated skills and prior work rather than a specific degree, though some larger companies still prefer one. Showing relevant results matters more than a credential for most remote machine learning research roles.
Which industries hire the most remote machine learning researchs?
Most remote machine learning research openings sit in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Healthcare & Medical Services, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. These sectors run distributed teams and hire machine learning researchs remotely most consistently.
