Partner with technical teams to align model development, training, inference, evaluation, GPU capacity, and production deployment.
Support architecture and integration decisions while resolving cross-team dependencies.
Share clear updates with leaders on progress, tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations.
What we need to see:
10+ years of technical program management, engineering program management, software development, or related experience.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
Experience leading strategic programs across multiple business units, engineering teams, geographies, or corporate functions.
Solid understanding of the AI development lifecycle, including model development, training, evaluation, inference, deployment, and support.
Practical experience with deep learning frameworks, GPU-accelerated computing, distributed systems, modern software development practices, agile development, CI/CD, and tools such as Git, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Aha!, or Confluence.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Experience leading AI platform, infrastructure, developer ecosystem, or product integration initiatives spanning several teams.
Experience working with foundation models, generative AI, multimodal models, agentic systems, or open-source AI communities.
