What You’ll Do
We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager to lead complex, cross-functional programs that span compute, network, storage, observability, and datacenter operations. You will drive delivery of high impact initiatives, define clear milestones and dependencies, and partner closely with engineering, operations, and leadership to ensure predictable execution in a fast moving technical environment.
What You’ll Do
- Drive execution across multiple infrastructure programs, including network builds and upgrades, storage initiatives, datacenter builds and expansions, and hardware/platform rollouts
- Own program planning, milestone definition, and dependency management across parallel workstreams
- Partner with Infra Engineering, Network, DC Operations, Hardware, Security, and Platform teams to align scope, timelines, and delivery
- Coordinate execution across initiatives such as:
- Network expansions, upgrades, and large-scale migrations
- Datacenter expansions and capacity growth
- Hardware bring-up and infrastructure readiness
- Next-generation platform rollouts (e.g. new GPU architectures), ensuring end-to-end readiness across infrastructure layers
- Drive cross-functional alignment to ensure infrastructure is ready for deployment, bring-up, and customer usage
- Manage risks, blockers, and dependencies across engineering and operations teams
- Provide clear, concise program updates to leadership, highlighting progress, risks, and mitigation plans
- Operate effectively in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment with shifting priorities
- Contribute to improving execution frameworks, tooling, and program visibility across the infrastructure organization
Who You Are
- 8+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager in infrastructure, cloud, or distributed systems environments
- Strong experience driving execution across multiple technical workstreams (network, compute, storage, datacenter infrastructure)
- Proven ability to coordinate complex, cross-functional programs without needing to be the deepest domain expert in every area
- Experience operating across multiple infrastructure domains rather than a single area of specialization
- Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments with evolving priorities and limited process
- Strong communicator who can align engineering, operations, and leadership stakeholders
- Skilled in program planning, dependency management, and risk mitigation
- Able to manage multiple programs simultaneously while maintaining execution quality
Ideal Experiences
- Experience supporting infrastructure scale-out, hardware deployment, or capacity expansion programs
- Familiarity with GPU/compute platforms, network infrastructure, storage systems, or datacenter operations
- Experience coordinating infrastructure readiness for new hardware or platform rollouts
- Background working in fast-paced or high-growth environments
- Experience partnering across hardware, network, and platform/software teams
