About the position

We're seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager with operational expertise to lead large-scale, cross-functional engineering programs, unblocking development bottlenecks, mitigating risks, and translating complex system architecture into actionable timelines for internal teams and ODM partners. This is a hybrid role that bridges technical depth with operational rigor - you'll manage complex, multi-disciplinary projects involving hardware design, procurement, deployment, network architecture, and preparation to scale. This role encompasses coordinating multiple suppliers and manufacturing partners, optimizing production workflows, and ensuring we deliver servers reliably to meet customer commitments.You'll work closely with silicon, software and systems engineers, ML teams, as well as business and operations to ensure our products are robust, reliable, and production-ready.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end program management for projects spanning compiler infrastructure (IR design, optimization passes, codegen), custom AI kernel development, and GPU runtime/scheduling systems
• Partner closely with compiler engineers, kernel developers, and systems architects to build realistic roadmaps, break down complex technical work into sequenced milestones, and track progress against them
• Identify and manage cross-team dependencies
• Translate ambiguous technical goals into scoped, actionable project plans
• Run planning ceremonies and surface technical risk early
• Coordinate with hardware and silicon partners on integration timelines, driver dependencies, and co-design feedback loops
• Maintain project documentation, architecture decision records, and technical roadmaps in collaboration with engineering leads

• 10+ years in program/project management, including 5+ years leading technically complex, multi-stakeholder programs
• Track record of managing multi-team technical programs with interdependent workstreams and hard performance/correctness requirements
• Strong operational background: defining processes, metrics, and driving efficiency
• Technical fluency in data center, networking, or compute infrastructure; able to engage deeply with engineers
• Conceptual familiarity with AI compute, distributed training, or inference systems
• Excellent written/verbal communication across technical and non-technical audiences
• Proficiency with Jira, Asana, Monday.com, or similar; comfort with data/metrics dashboards

• Software development experience with infrastructure projects like storage, OS, and hardware bring-up.
• Experience managing or scaling data center operations, cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), or hyperscaler / on-premises server deployments
• Background in DevOps, infrastructure engineering, or site reliability engineering (SRE)
• Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, GPU clusters, or distributed computing systems
• PMP, CAPM, or equivalent program management certification
• Previous role in a high-growth tech or AI company
• Analytical, data-driven decision-making with a metric-driven mindset (dashboards, KPIs)
• Comfortable with ambiguity; able to bring clarity and proactively manage risk and contingency
• Strong stakeholder influence, collaborative leadership, and attention to both detail and big-picture outcomes
