About the role

TensorWave is seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager to drive the execution of complex AI infrastructure initiatives that power cutting-edge machine learning workloads.

In this role, you'll be the connective tissue between engineering, product, and business teams, ensuring our AMD-powered AI platform delivers exceptional performance and reliability at scale.

You'll own the end-to-end program lifecycle for critical infrastructure projects, from initial scoping through deployment and iteration, working at the intersection of hardware optimization, distributed systems, and ML operations.

Responsibilities

• Lead cross-functional programs spanning hardware deployment, software infrastructure, and ML platform development, ensuring alignment across engineering, product, and operations teams

• Define program scope, objectives, and success metrics for AI infrastructure initiatives, from GPU cluster buildouts to inference optimization projects

• Drive cross-functional roadmap planning and prioritization, balancing immediate customer needs with long-term platform scalability

• Manage program timelines, dependencies, and resource allocation across multiple concurrent initiatives

• Translate complex technical tradeoffs into clear business implications for executive leadership and external partners

• Communicate program status, risks, and blockers through regular updates, maintaining transparency across the organization

• Identify and mitigate technical and operational risks before they impact delivery timelines or system performance

• Drive postmortems and retrospectives to capture learnings and continuously improve execution velocity

Required Experience

• Experience managing cross-functional initiatives with engineering, product, and business stakeholders

• Experience with Jira and implementing Jira workflows to match team processes

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with ability to tailor messaging for technical and non-technical audiences

Preferred Experience

• Experience with AMD GPU architectures (ROCm, Instinct GPUs) or competitive platforms (NVIDIA CUDA, Google TPUs)

• Background in ML infrastructure, model training/inference pipelines, or MLOps platforms

• Prior experience at a high-growth startup or in a fast-paced infrastructure organization

• Hands-on technical experience as a software engineer or systems engineer earlier in career

• Familiarity with Kubernetes, distributed training frameworks (PyTorch, JAX), or AI workload orchestration
