Technical Program Leader – AI Infrastructure
We’re partnering with an early-stage technology company building and scaling advanced AI infrastructure—and we’re looking for a Technical Program Leader who wants to be close to the action.
This is not a traditional PMO role. You’ll be operating at the intersection of AI infrastructure, engineering, data center deployment, and large-scale technical execution, helping turn ambitious infrastructure plans into production-ready environments.
You’ll work with engineering teams, infrastructure leaders, vendors, contractors, and operations to deliver complex GPU and data center programs from site readiness through commissioning and production handoff.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to join at an important stage of growth and help establish the execution discipline, processes, and infrastructure that will support significant expansion.
What You’ll Do
-
Lead complex AI infrastructure and data center deployment programs from planning through production handoff.
-
Coordinate work across site readiness, racks, cabling, power, cooling, networking, storage, and GPU infrastructure.
-
Translate technical requirements into clear deployment plans, milestones, readiness criteria, and deliverables.
-
Partner closely with engineering, infrastructure, facilities, operations, supply chain, OEMs, contractors, and vendors.
-
Own program schedules, dependencies, critical paths, risks, issues, actions, and key decisions and RAID
-
Drive commissioning, integrated systems testing, burn-in, validation, punch-list resolution, and operational readiness.
-
Identify blockers early and work across teams to keep complex deployments moving.
-
Provide concise updates to technical and executive leadership on progress, risks, trade-offs, and decisions.
-
Help establish repeatable processes for deploying AI infrastructure efficiently and reliably at scale.
What We’re Looking For
You’re a technically credible program leader who understands infrastructure deployment firsthand. You don’t need to be the person configuring every server or switch, but you should be comfortable enough with the technology to challenge assumptions, understand dependencies, and earn the trust of engineering teams.
Required experience includes:
-
7+ years in data center infrastructure, technical deployment, mission-critical facilities, cloud, hyperscale, HPC, AI infrastructure, or a related environment.
