Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Evergrid is building an inference neocloud that provides large-scale AI infrastructure for research labs, hyperscalers, enterprises, and institutions. The Staff Technical Program Manager will own end-to-end infrastructure deployment programs, including new capacity, site expansions, hardware partnerships, commissioning frameworks, and first customer cluster delivery. The role also provides technical leadership, governs cross-organizational dependencies, coaches junior TPMs, and develops the TPM function.
Responsibilities
- Own the infrastructure deployment for new capacity or site expansions end-to-end: hardware vendor and OEM dependencies, architecture updates, compute platform foundations work, commissioning gate framework definition, and first customer cluster delivery as the success metric
- Lead Deployment Phase 0 on the TPM side: define firmware version targets before kickoff, set commissioning gate criteria, and define the DRI matrix
- Manage compounding cross-hardware-generation dependencies where active production programs run in parallel with capacity expansion projects, and prevent them from competing for the same engineering pool without a plan
- Own real-time execution dashboards; deliver crisp, data-driven executive updates that surface decision elements without requiring follow-up
- Govern cross-organizational dependencies without waiting for escalation authority
- Coach more junior TPMs on technical depth, risk identification, and executive communication
- Actively drive AI tool integration across your programs; identify where AI materially improves program tracking, risk detection, and executive communication
Skills
- • Deep, working fluency with GPU and accelerator architecture across hardware generations, firmware lifecycle (driver stacks, BIOS/BMC), compute orchestration, SDN, storage, networking (leaf-spine topology, ZTP, fabric commissioning), and monitoring/observability
- • Direct hardware partner engagement: personal ownership of GPU or OEM certification and validation timelines, not coordination feeding into someone else's relationship
- • Active daily use of AI tools to drive program-level outcomes: risk detection, dependency mapping, data analysis, and executive communication, not just personal productivity
- • 7+ years as a Technical Program Manager with a track record of owning infrastructure deployment programs end-to-end at a hyperscaler, GPU cloud provider, or AI infrastructure company, ideally with direct experience in large-scale capacity expansion projects
- • Proven ability to define deployment engagement models from scratch, not just operate within existing frameworks, and make them stick across engineering organizations that didn't ask for them
- • Track record of driving cross-organizational alignment at VP/SVP level without formal authority, including building durable alignment on programs that fall in the cracks between teams
- • Exceptional written and verbal communication for delivering clear, data-driven, decision-oriented updates to executive stakeholders
- • Experience defining or substantially redesigning a commissioning gate framework for site deployments
- • Experience coaching or developing more junior TPMs in technical depth and program execution
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and equity packages
- Paid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs
- Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance
- Home office stipend
