Must have
- Proven experience as an onsite Technical Program Manager, deployment lead, or equivalent role in data center construction, cluster bootstrapping, or large-scale infrastructure rollout
- Hands-on knowledge of reading and applying LLDs, plus cabling and fit-out processes, to verify onsite work against plan
- Track record of managing multiple concurrent, complex deployments
- Demonstrated ability to bring real technical credibility to readiness reviews
- Experience managing vendor relationships and resolving underperformance
- Strong executive communication skills — able to turn technical complexity into clear, decision-ready narratives
- Willingness and ability to travel extensively and be onsite for extended periods during active deployment phases
Full description
Location: Onsite at active construction/deployment sites (multiple regions)
Travel: Mandatory — frequent site visits during construction; extended onsite presence during active deployment phases
About the Role
- We’re looking for a Doer — someone who lives and breathes the site. This role sits at the center of our GPU cluster deployments: bootstrapping clusters, using low-level designs (LLDs) as the reference to check that cabling and fit-out are going to plan on the floor, and unblocking whatever
stands between the plan and a working, delivered site.
- You’ll carry technical credibility into design and readiness reviews, hold the line when trade-offs need to be made between engineering, operations, and the customer, and be the person senior stakeholders trust when a deployment is going sideways. You’re warm and approachable on the
floor, but authoritative when it counts — the kind of person trade vendors and engineers genuinely want to work with.
- This is not a desk job. You’ll be on the ground through construction and practically living onsite during active deployment.
What You’ll DoOn the floor
- Own cluster bootstrapping, cabling, and fit-out execution from the ground up
- Use the LLDs as the reference point to check on the floor whether cabling and fit-out are going to plan — not to author or revise the design
- Know every blocker on the floor — and know how to clear it to protect the timeline
- Visit sites frequently during construction; be present onsite through active deployment
- Build relationships with trade vendors and engineering teams grounded in trust and follow through
Technical judgment and credibility
- Anticipate repeating technical failure modes across sites and regions, and drive fixes before they recur
- Facilitate technical trade-off decisions between engineering, operations, and customers, and document the rationale
- Bring credible technical input to readiness reviews, grounded in what’s actually happening on the floor
- Influence and solve technical challenges of moderate difficulty independently
Program and risk management
- Anticipate programme-level risks — contractual gaps, dependency chains, capacity conflicts — before they materialize
- Run portfolio-level schedule and risk management across concurrent deployments
- Identify cross-programme risk patterns and drive systemic fixes, not just local fixes
