Requirements
8+ years in technical program management, delivery management, or infrastructure program leadership, with at least 3+ years managing large-scale physical infrastructure or data center delivery programs; Demonstrated experience delivering on-prem data center builds (power, cooling, network, rack-and-stack) from planning through go-live; Direct experience with GPU cloud / neo cloud capacity delivery, including understanding of GPU cluster architectures (e.g., InfiniBand/RoCE fabrics, rack power density, liquid cooling considerations) and the commercial/operational mechanics of capacity contracts with neo cloud or colocation providers; Track record managing complex, multi-vendor, multi-workstream programs with hard external deadlines and significant financial/business exposure; Strong executive communication skills, able to distill complex technical/operational risk into clear, decision-ready updates for senior leadership; Proven vendor/partner management experience, including negotiating delivery commitments and holding partners accountable; Comfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving, high-growth environment, with a bias toward action and structured problem-solving
Nice to have
Experience at a hyperscaler, neo cloud provider, colocation company, or AI infrastructure company; Familiarity with GPU hardware lifecycles (NVIDIA H100/H200/GB200 class systems), power/thermal constraints, and supply chain dynamics for compute; PMP, PgMP, or equivalent program management certification; Experience building delivery/program management functions from the ground up
Benefits
Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity; (U.S. only) 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents; Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break; Paid parental leave; Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot; (U.S. only) Company-facilitated 401(k); Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering learning and networking opportunities
