Dive in and do the best work of your career rney alongside a strong community of top talent who are relentless in their drive to build the simplest scalable cloud. If you have a growth mindset, naturally like to think big and bold, and are energized by the fast-paced environment of a true industry disruptor, you’ll find your place here. We value winning together—while learning, having fun, and making a profound difference for the dreamers and builders in the world.

We are looking for a Lead Technical Program Manager to lead the data center build-outs for our high-density GPUs. You will be a driving force between hardware vendors, Data Center Architects, and the end to end oversight of doing a GPU Deployment. You’ll join a fast-paced team dedicated to scaling our Agentic AI Cloud, making sure our physical hardware is deployed quickly and correctly to meet our customers' heavy compute needs.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Support hardware deployment projects for high-density GPU clusters, coordinating the steps from early site planning all the way through the final rack-and-stack.
  • Manage hardware delivery schedules tracking vendor lead times and working closely with the supply chain team to ensure servers and equipment arrive at the data center exactly when needed.
  • Coordinate physical installations by partnering with colocation providers, remote hands, and internal networking teams to make sure space, power, and cables are prepped before hardware arrives.
  • Act as the central hub of communication keeping supply chain, facilities, hardware engineers, and outside vendors aligned to keep deployment schedules on track.
  • Help translate customer AI needs like the difference between building for training versus inference into clear deployment plans for our hardware and facility teams.
  • Build repeatable deployment processes identifying logistical roadblocks and fixing them so we can consistently get new GPUs online faster.
What We’ll Expect From You

  • 10+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, successfully coordinating hardware, facilities, or data center infrastructure projects.
  • Strong understanding of hardware deployment workflows, ideally from working at a cloud provider, colocation facility, or specialized AI company.
  • Familiarity with basic data center concepts, meaning you understand the fundamentals of rack space, power limits, and cooling requirements needed for dense AI hardware.
  • A solid grasp of the procurement lifecycle, including tracking orders, forecasting demand, and managing long lead times to ensure hardware shows up on time.
  • Basic familiarity with the AI/ML hardware space, understanding why customers use GPUs and the high-level physical differences required for training versus inference workloads.
  • Experience with external vendor coordination, effectively working with colocation facility managers or remote hands to guide physical work happening off-site.
  • Strong risk management skills, with a proven ability to spot deployment risks early, whether it is a delayed hardware shipment or a facility constraint, and build plans to keep the project moving.
  • Cross-functional teamwork capabilities, acting as a reliable bridge between deeply technical teams (like network and data center engineering) and operational teams (like supply chain).
  • Proficiency in project management tooling, feeling comfortable using standard tracking and ticketing systems to document deployment steps, track hardware inventory, and report on progress.
  • Excellent communication and organization skills, with a proven ability to bring order to fast-moving environments and keep diverse teams focused on a shared timeline.
