Full description
Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.
As a Staff or Senior Staff Technical Program Manager on the Data Center Deployment team, you will drive complex programs across AI hardware, software, infrastructure, and data center operations. You will work closely with engineering and operations teams to understand system-level dependencies, troubleshoot deployment and operational issues, and improve the reliability and scalability of our infrastructure. This role requires more than program coordination: you will use operational data, technical debugging, scripting, and automation to improve workflows, surface risks, and drive data-informed decisions across teams.
This role ishybrid, based out of Toronto, Canada.
We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.
Who You Are
- A technically hands-on program leader with direct experience in data center infrastructure, systems deployment, SRE, or infrastructure operations.
- A systems thinker who can investigate technical issues, lead detailed debugging and triage, and understand dependencies across hardware, firmware, networking, operating systems, and software.
- A data-driven problem solver who uses telemetry, monitoring, observability, metrics, and dashboards to identify issues, assess impact, and guide decisions.
- A builder who has personally developed scripts, workflows, or automations to reduce manual work, improve operational efficiency, and increase visibility.
- An AI-forward technical partner who actively uses AI tools to accelerate analysis, automation, and program execution while communicating technical risks and tradeoffs clearly.
What We Need
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, with 5+ years leading complex technical programs, infrastructure initiatives, or data-driven engineering operations.
- Direct data center infrastructure or systems operations experience, including an understanding of deployment, hardware and software dependencies, capacity or resource allocation, reliability, and operational constraints at scale.
