About the job

As a Technical Program Manager for the Platform team, you will partner with engineering teams to directly accelerate the development and maturity of the Scale Generative AI Platform (SGP). We are looking for a TPM who has actively built and shipped products in the past and understands how to deliver robust, scalable developer tooling and distributed systems. In this role, you will own the strategic alignment and end-to-end execution of our most critical infrastructure initiatives—from initial scoping to measurable, company-wide and customer-ready adoption. You will serve as the core communication backbone and connective tissue between platform engineering, product teams, and executive leadership. Operating in a hyper-growth, demanding AI environment, you will translate SGP’s architectural complexities into clear execution strategies, unblock engineering bottlenecks, proactively mitigate deployment risks, and ensure our foundational platforms deliver reliable, performant, and secure systems capable of global-scale deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead strategic planning and execution for SGP core capabilities, managing features from technical scoping through production launch.
  • Drive execution and manage technical dependencies across systems engineering, Core ML, Research, and Product teams for unified SGP capabilities.
  • Translate complex infrastructure metrics and demands into actionable roadmaps and platform features.
  • Proactively identify, track, and mitigate technical risks for large-scale GenAI infrastructure and deployments.
  • Establish agile processes to empower engineers and define SLOs for production-grade reliability.
  • Track and report on SGP adoption metrics, system reliability, and engineering bottlenecks to executive leadership.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, Product Manager, or Software Engineer, with a proven track record of building and shipping technical products or platforms.
  • 3+ years of experience managing programs focused on core engineering infrastructure, cloud-native ecosystems (AWS/GCP), container orchestration (Kubernetes), or distributed systems.
  • Foundational understanding of Generative AI infrastructure, including data pipelines, GPU/CPU cluster utilization, or model training/evaluation.
  • Proven track record of presenting to and influencing executive-level stakeholders.
  • Advanced proficiency with iterative development methodologies and modern project management tooling (Linear, Jira, etc.).

  • Equity
  • Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage
  • Retirement benefits
  • Learning and development stipend
  • Generous PTO
