The Role

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to build and drive the execution engine of our science organization.

In this role, you will design and operationalize the systems, workflows, and processes that turn research goals into measurable, coordinated execution. You will ensure projects move from idea to impact with clarity, discipline, and alignment - tracking workstreams precisely, surfacing dependencies early, and maintaining momentum across teams.

This role sits at the intersection of program management, technical operations, and research. You will partner closely with scientists and engineers to bring structure and visibility to complex initiatives, streamline delivery, and ensure our teams stay focused on what they do best - advancing the frontier of AI.

We are currently hiring across a range of Technical Program Manager roles, varying in scope and seniority. Candidates will be evaluated and matched to the role that best aligns with their experience and strengths.

What will you do

• Execution & Release Operations: Design and own systems for tracking ongoing pretraining and posttraining releases - providing real-time visibility into readiness, trade-offs, and impact. Evolve ad-hoc efforts into systematic release operations that enable disciplined, high-velocity execution
• Strategic Planning & Roadmapping: Partner with science leads to translate research goals into actionable, company-aligned roadmaps. Frame scientific capabilities in business-relevant terms and ensure that priorities are consistently communicated and understood across teams
• Operational Unblocking & Coordination: Keep science moving - anticipate and clear roadblocks, streamline cross-functional coordination, and maintain momentum. Own GPU allocation and quota management to ensure compute resources are scaled and accessible when needed
• Visibility & Communication Cadence: Drive structured communication loops - own the bi-weekly science updates, science all-hands, and company-wide digests. Synthesize inputs into clear, high-signal narratives that inform leadership and align the broader organization
• Learning & Continuous Improvement: Run retrospectives after major sprints and releases, distilling insights into repeatable systems. Refine processes, templates, and feedback loops to strengthen organizational learning and operational excellence over time
