Principal Program Manager - Cluster Health

The GPU Cluster Health Repair Strategy team is accountable for driving repair strategy, operational execution, and cross-functional governance to keep customer GPU cluster availability at or above 97.5% at all times, where a customer cluster is defined as a shape/location combination. The team establishes KPIs, monitors performance, identifies gaps, launches corrective programs, and partners with engineering, SDE/SRE, data center operations, GSL, CHS, CPV, Warminator, TRS, customer-facing teams, and hardware partners such as NVIDIA and AMD.

This role will lead complex, high-impact program improvements at organizational scale. Defines KPIs, shapes automation, drives senior-leadership alignment, and serves as an escalation point for multi-team issues.

Strategic Program Leadership

• Own strategic repair-transformation programs that materially improve GPU cluster availability, repair velocity, partner accountability, and operational efficiency.

• Define end-to-end program strategy for high-risk availability areas, including long-running repair reduction, proactive risk detection, RMA loop improvement, spare placement optimization, healthy-node custody policy, partner hardware quality feedback, or AI-driven repair insights.

• Translate customer availability risk into strategic priorities, measurable goals, and execution plans.

Availability and Repair Governance

• Drive alignment across customer vertical TPMs, horizontal program TPMs, SDE/SRE, engineering, partner teams, and operations.

• Lead executive-level reviews for high-risk customers, high-risk shapes, or high-risk locations.

• Define governance mechanisms to keep every shape/location cluster above 97.5% availability.

• Advise leadership on SLA/SLO performance, repair productivity, operational bottlenecks, and resourcing gaps.

KPI and Data Framework Ownership

• Define the KPI framework for the team, including business metrics, operational metrics, leading indicators, lagging indicators, and escalation thresholds.

• Build the measurement model for shape/location health, cluster-level availability, repair aging, throughput, RMA loop time, spares sufficiency, hardware failure rate, partner blockers, and tooling efficiency.

• Shape advanced reporting and forecasting requirements with SDE/SRE and data teams.

• Drive consistent use of data to identify risk before customer escalation.

Process and Tooling Transformation

• Lead efforts to reduce manual repair execution through automation, AI-assisted triage, workflow instrumentation, and repair agent tooling.

• Partner with SDE/SRE teams in India, Morocco, and Mexico to prioritize tooling investments that accelerate repair diagnosis, status visibility, escalation, and closure.

• Drive adoption of standardized SOPs, playbooks, partner handoffs, and executive escalation paths.

Partner and Ecosystem Influence

• Lead complex engagements with partners such as NVIDIA and AMD where hardware quality, spare availability, RMA turnaround, or repair playbooks affect customer availability.

• Establish data-backed partner accountability mechanisms.

• Drive corrective action plans where partner performance affects cluster health.

Escalation and Risk Management

• Serve as escalation lead for complex availability risks that span multiple organizations.

• Drive root-cause analysis for recurring repair failures, long-tail repair issues, spare shortages, or process breakdowns.

• Make trade-offs between customer impact, business risk, technical constraints, and operational feasibility.
