The Technical Program Manager II joins the team to drive high-priority, cross-functional programs that are too complex for any single team to own. This role involves identifying systemic risks, managing cross-pod dependencies, and engineering program lifecycles end-to-end. You will build AI-powered automation tools to create self-executing program infrastructure, reducing the need for manual coordination. Key responsibilities include maintaining SVP-level visibility through tracked KPIs and bridging functional gaps using technical credibility. Required skills include experience with observability, infrastructure, data platforms, or AI/ML systems, specifically model training pipelines, ML infrastructure, and GPU compute. You must demonstrate AI systems literacy and the ability to navigate architecture conversations. The work focuses on solving deeply technical problems at scale by connecting people, decisions, and context to move complex bets forward.
