About the Role

We're building a Forward Deployed Engineering organization that embeds directly with customers to drive success on their GPU infrastructure. This isn't traditional program management, you'll be the connective tissue between our customers' AI/ML ambitions, our engineering teams, and our product roadmap.

You'll own the end-to-end success of customer programs, from initial engagement through deployment and optimization. You'll need to go deep technically, build genuine relationships, and drive cross-functional teams toward outcomes that matter.

What You'll Do

• Own customer program execution from kickoff to success metrics achievement
• Embed with customers to deeply understand their AI/ML workloads, infrastructure, and business objectives
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (engineering, product, sales, support) to unblock customer progress
• Translate customer pain points and requirements into actionable product feedback
• Build and maintain program roadmaps, track milestones, and proactively manage risks
• Serve as the customer's internal advocate while maintaining honest, trust-based external relationships
• Identify patterns across customer engagements that inform broader organizational priorities

What You Bring

• 10 years in technical program management, solutions engineering, or customer-facing technical roles
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML workflows: training, fine-tuning, inference optimization
• Working knowledge of GPU infrastructure, cluster management, and performance tuning
• Track record of driving complex, multi-stakeholder programs to completion
• Strong technical communication—comfortable in a room with ML engineers and with executives
• Customer empathy and a genuine orientation toward their success
• Ability to influence without authority across organizational boundaries
• Comfort with ambiguity; you define the path when one doesn't exist

Nice to Have

• Experience with large-scale distributed training or inference systems
• Familiarity with ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX) and optimization tools
• Background in datacenter infrastructure or cloud platforms
• Prior work in forward-deployed, professional services, or customer success engineering roles
