Job Description
Job Description
You'll join the Platforms Engineering team that builds the shared AI capabilities behind Rockwell's software portfolio, including FactoryTalk Design Studio, FTOptix, and Studio 5000 Logix Designer. You'll build the services, SDKs, and tool interfaces that let product teams ship assistants, content generation, and diagnostics into software that customers run in production. You'll do it in an AI-first engineering environment: coding agents running inside a harness we own, evals gating AI-generated changes, GitHub Copilot Enterprise and Claude in the daily loop, and MCP-based tooling that lets agents reach real build, test, and telemetry systems under human-in-the-loop review.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and build platform services, SDKs, and APIs that product teams use to embed AI capabilities in FactoryTalk Design Studio, FTOptix, and Logix Designer.
- Build and maintain MCP servers and tool interfaces that give agents governed access to product, build, and test systems.
- Develop evaluation suites and regression gates that measure AI feature quality, safety, latency, and cost before release.
- Own subsystem design through implementation, test, and production operation, including observability and performance budgets.
- Work with product teams, architects, and security to apply OT/ICS constraints such as IP protection, binary signing, and data boundaries to every AI feature.
- Prototype and evaluate new models and agent patterns, and turn the ones that work into supported platform capabilities.
- Improve the team's own AI-assisted development loop and share what works across engineering teams.
The Essentials - You Will Have:
- Bachelor's Degree or Equivalent Years of Relevant Work Experience
The Preferred - You might also have:
- Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Typically requires a minimum of 8 years of experience in software product development environment.
- experience building and shipping production software in Python, C#, or C++ - Experience designing services or APIs that other engineering teams build on
- Hands-on experience using AI coding tools and LLM APIs in your day-to-day work
- Experience with Azure, containers, and CI/CD pipelines
- Experience building and evaluating LLM applications: tool calling, retrieval, agent frameworks, MCP, and offline eval design for non-deterministic behavior
- Familiarity with industrial automation concepts such as PLC programming, OPC UA, or engineering design tools
- Experience applying secure development practices to features that embed LLMs and agents
- Clear written and verbal communication across engineering, product, and architecture teams
This position is part of a job family. Experience will be the determining factor for position level and compensation
What We Offer:
- Health Insurance including Medical, Dental and Vision
- 401k
- Paid Time off
- Parental and Caregiver Leave
- Flexible Work Schedule where you will work with your manager to enjoy a work schedule that can be flexible with your personal life.

Tips for Your Remote Software Project Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote software project manager openings from companies across the U.S. in one place. Search for roles that match your experience level and stack, then apply directly without waiting for a recruiter to find you.
Make async communication the centerpiece of your resume
Remote hiring managers read resumes looking for evidence you can communicate clearly without being in the same room. Call out specific tools you have used, Jira, Confluence, Slack, Notion, and describe how you kept distributed teams aligned through written updates rather than meetings.
Build a portfolio of shipped remote projects
Remote employers want proof you can deliver without in-person oversight. Document two or three projects with the problem, your approach, the tools and processes you ran, and the outcome. Even internal work can become a case study if you anonymize the client details.
Prepare for async-first remote interviews
Many remote-first companies run part of their hiring process asynchronously, sending written prompts or recorded video questions rather than live calls. Practice written responses to scenario questions about scope changes, stakeholder conflicts, and cross-time-zone delivery before you apply.
Remote Software Project Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote software project manager job?
Target companies that run distributed engineering teams, such as remote-first SaaS firms, cloud infrastructure providers, and digital health companies, since these employers are built for remote project management. Remote hiring managers screen heavily for async written communication, self-directed delivery without in-person check-ins, and fluency with tools like Jira, Confluence, and Slack. Candidates who can show a history of shipping projects across time zones without hand-holding move to the top of the pile.
Which companies hire remote software project managers?
Companies hiring remote software project managers right now include Abco Maintenance, Cadre5, and Equiniti, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first technology firms, enterprise software companies, and distributed product teams across fintech, healthcare IT, and cloud infrastructure.
Can you get a remote software project manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage work independently from day one without on-site mentorship. Your best path in is through contract or freelance project coordination on remote teams, contributing to open-source project governance, or earning a PMP or CAPM certification. Demonstrating clear async communication and a structured personal system for tracking deliverables can substitute for years of formal experience.
Do you need a degree for remote software project manager jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers care more about demonstrated delivery than a specific diploma, particularly at companies that hire based on output rather than credentials. What opens doors is a portfolio showing completed software projects, stakeholder management experience, and proficiency with remote project tooling. Certifications like PMP, PMI-ACP, or Scrum Master credentials carry real weight when you can't lean on a prestigious institution's name.
