In the posting’s own words

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.

What it asks for · 8

  • 5+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, Product Manager, or Software Engineer, with a proven track record of having built and shipped technical products or platforms from scratch (e.g., internal cloud infrastructure, developer APIs, distributed systems, or ML platforms).
  • Platform Domain Expertise: 3+ years of dedicated experience managing programs focused directly on core engineering infrastructure, cloud-native ecosystems (AWS/GCP), container orchestration (Kubernetes), or distributed systems.
  • AI/ML Infrastructure Literacy: Foundational understanding of the infrastructure required for the Generative AI lifecycle, including high-throughput data pipelines, GPU/CPU cluster utilization, or model training/evaluation setups.
  • Masterful Communication: Proven track record of presenting to and influencing executive-level stakeholders, with the ability to translate complex technical/architectural challenges into clear business impacts.
  • Execution Excellence: Advanced proficiency with iterative development methodologies and modern project management tooling (Linear, Jira, etc.) applied to foundational infrastructure environments.
  • Engineering Roots: Strong software engineering fundamentals, with prior professional experience as a Software Engineer, DevOps Engineer, or Data Developer before transitioning into program management.
  • Platform Adoption Track Record: Proven success driving the internal adoption of technical platforms, SDKs, or APIs across disparate, fast-moving product lines.
  • Data-Centric AI Familiarity: Direct experience working with large-scale data quality pipelines, distributed vector databases, or specialized AI inference engines (e.g., Triton, Ray).

What the job covers

  • Lifecycle & Platform Delivery: Lead strategic planning and high-velocity execution for SGP core capabilities (orchestration layers, model serving, APIs). Manage features from technical scoping and architecture design through production launch.
  • Cross-Functional GenAI Alignment: Drive execution and manage complex technical dependencies across systems engineering, Core ML, Research, and Product teams to deliver unified SGP capabilities with architectural consistency.
  • Technical Translation & Requirements: Translate complex infrastructure metrics (LLM inference optimization, GPU utilization, compute orchestration) into actionable roadmaps. Map demands like multi-tenancy, data privacy, and isolation into platform features.
  • Risk & Dependency Mitigation: Proactively identify, track, and mitigate technical risks unique to massive-scale GenAI infrastructure and global SGP deployments, maintaining momentum despite fast-evolving AI frameworks.
  • Developer Velocity & Operational Excellence: Establish lightweight agile processes that empower engineers to ship fast without breaking core systems. Define and enforce clear SLOs and performance benchmarks to guarantee production-grade reliability for clients.
  • Metrics-Driven Adoption: Track and report on SGP adoption metrics, system reliability, delivery forecasts, and engineering bottlenecks directly to executive leadership to ensure the platform scales responsibly.
