We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.
We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.
We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!
As a Technical Program Manager for Deployments, you will own the end-to-end program delivery required to bring data center infrastructure and AI clusters online. You will operate in a highly ambiguous environment, coordinating across construction, infrastructure, networking, systems engineering, procurement, and operations teams to ensure deployment readiness and successful go-lives.
This role requires an ownership mindset. You will be expected to move programs forward with sometimes incomplete information, surface and resolve gaps, and ensure progress across teams responsible for construction, networking, hardware, operations, and beyond. While physical installation and construction execution are owned by partner teams, you are accountable for overall delivery outcomes and are expected to fill gaps before they become blockers.
The best candidates for this role bring deep experience in the intersection of data center construction handover and AI/GPU hardware deployment, not just one or the other. You know how construction sequences impact infrastructure readiness, how ICT and CDU work intersect, and how to hold multiple workstreams accountable across time zones and organizational boundaries.
Own program delivery for data hall and AI cluster activation, from planning through operational handoff
Coordinate cross-functional teams responsible for construction, infrastructure, network, hardware, ICT, commissioning, and operations execution
Translate hyperscale AI/GPU and DLC infrastructure requirements into actionable deployment plans
Anticipate downstream impacts of technical sequencing decisions on capacity, schedule, and cluster performance
Drive alignment across teams operating at different speeds, scopes, and time zones – including vendor and contractor partners
Manage and hold accountable vendors, integration contractors, and third-party service providers across the deployment lifecycle.
Operate effectively in ambiguity, making progress with incomplete information and evolving requirements
Develop and drive executive-level program status briefings that clearly communicate schedule health, risks, key decisions, and escalations paths
Maintain clear, current program artifacts: schedules, RACI matrices, risk registers, decision logs, and deployment runbooks
Maintain momentum through changing requirements, tight timelines, and cross-time-zone execution
Collaborate closely with SMEs in networking, ICT, commissioning, systems engineerings, product, procurement, operations, and more before execution – not in isolation.
Identify and drive process improvements that scale across concurrent builds and future deployments
5+ years experience in delivering complex data center physical infrastructure programs in fast-moving environments
Strong understanding of AI/GPU infrastructure, including power density, cooling, networking, and deployment sequencing
Demonstrated experience bridging construction handover and cluster deployment: candidates who are network only or construction only will not be a fit
Familiarity with how construction, low-voltage, and commissioning activities impact deployment readiness and sequencing
Proven ability to lead through influence rather than direct ownership of execution teams
Proven ability to manage vendor and contractor relationships, understanding schedule and reputational risks
Experience delivering programs across multiple concurrent sites or regions, including planning for staggered milestones
Able to develop and present executive-level program status, risk summaries, and key decisions to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
Experience with long-lead procurement processes, and hardware supply chain constraints that affect deployment timelines
Actively collaborate with SMEs across multiple domains to validate plans and resolve gaps
Comfortable operating with limited process and evolving inputs in a high-growth, intense environment
Demonstrated ability to take initiative, fill gaps, and drive execution beyond defined scope, without being directed to do so
Able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on program management
Comfortable operating outside standard business to meet deployment timelines
Excellent communication and stakeholder alignment skills – able to ensure teams at all levels understand priorities and dependencies
Strong execution mindset with the ability to balance speed, quality, and risk
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to decision making
Automation-first mindset with commitment to identifying and implementing process improvements
You are willing and able to travel to data center locations, sometimes on short notice; expect to spend up to 60% of your time traveling
DCD, PMP, CDCPM, CDCMP, CDCP or DCDC Certification(s)
ITIL Foundation Certification
JIRA, Smartsheet, or similar project tracking and workflow management experience
Knowledge of infrastructure automation and deployment tools
Experience managing BPO or contract labor pools during large-scale hardware deployment phases
Background in material coordination or logistics management at scale during active deployment (receiving, cycle counting, site-to-site transfers)
Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity)
Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms
The base salary range for this position is $200,000 - $275,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
