Time Type
Full time
We are looking for a driven, diligent leader to join our Technical Program Management team for Compute Platform Software. You will work with engineering and product leaders on the planning and execution of programs to develop and publish software enabling new enterprise systems that are at the heart of cross-industry advancement of AI applications. Our work has made major impact in various fields, and is used across leading academic institutions, start-ups, and industry; including the world’s largest Internet companies. We need passionate, hard-working, and creative people to help us reach our engineering goals.
This role is responsible for architecting the technical framework that powers our software delivery—ensuring high-quality, high-velocity code movement from design through full production deployment at scale. As a primary technical leader, you will design and govern sophisticated branching strategies and develop custom automation tools to maintain branch health, minimize drift, and streamline integration across the entire stack. You will coordinate technical milestones across multiple teams, aligning incremental breakthroughs with larger production cycles to ensure consistency and predictability. In this position, you will partner closely with engineering, QA, and product management to define technical priorities, manage version control integrity, and maintain the infrastructure that supports multiple parallel development efforts. You will be a hands-on contributor, building the tools and CI/CD gates vital to optimize delivery pipelines and reduce technical risk. Beyond day-to-day operations, you will serve as the lead for resolving complex, high-impact technical issues that span multiple Business Units, driving alignment and resolution where technical dependencies intersect. Additionally, you will collaborate with engineering management to refine workflows, streamline approvals, and drive continuous improvement in software delivery efficiency, acting as a force multiplier for the entire organization.
What You'll Be Doing
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until May 18, 2026.
This posting is for an existing vacancy.
