Technical Program Manager, Compute Infrastructure

The role

You will own the GPU supply signal and manage the roadmap for tools, data, and platforms. You will lead programs to turn incoming supply into usable compute by connecting physical site readiness with infrastructure resources.

What you will do

• Own the GPU supply signal across the fleet.
• Build and scale the tools, data, and platform behind the supply signal.
• Connect supply with capacity planning.
• Coordinate physical readiness for new capacity.
• Lead logical readiness across infrastructure resources.
• Drive deployment across cloud and bare metal environments.
• Establish Delivery Scorecards for cloud providers and internal infrastructure teams.
• Improve the reliability and repeatability of cluster bringup.
• Manage the critical paths across concurrent programs.
• Communicate progress, risks, and tradeoffs clearly.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of experience leading major technical programs, including compute infrastructure, hyperscaler deployments, capital projects, or similarly complex infrastructure work.
• Degree in a hard science or engineering discipline, or a demonstrated track record of equivalent engineering expertise.
• Familiar with Kubernetes deployments.
• Worked with at least one major cloud provider—such as AWS, GCP, Azure, or OCI—to scale compute infrastructure.
• Familiar with bare metal GPU capacity and the provisioning, inventory, and planning systems used to bring it into service.
• Worked with Capacity Planning teams on supply and demand management, allocations, constraints, and supporting tools.
• Experience defining requirements for operational data and internal platforms.
• Understand how site readiness, power and cooling, equipment delivery, commissioning, and ready-for-service milestones affect cluster deployment.
• Record of owning and delivering complex technical programs across internal teams and external partners.
• Technically adept and comfortable working with Engineering and Research.
• Build simple, scalable processes and communicate clearly.
• Interested in and thoughtful about the impacts of AGI.

Nice to have

• Experience coordinating deployments across multiple providers is valuable.
