Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems-designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.\nThrough our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.\nWe serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.\nThe Way We Work\nThe people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here's what that looks like in practice:\nMove with Urgency: We move quickly, make thoughtful decisions, and keep momentum. We value action over perfection and learn by shipping.\nTake Ownership: We own outcomes, not just our individual work. We make decisions that move the company forward and follow through.\nCommunicate Openly: We communicate directly, seek to understand, and create clarity for others. Honest conversations help us move faster together.\nBuild Great Teams: We lead by example, empower others, and create healthy teams where people can do their best work.\nRaise the Bar: We're always improving ourselves. We learn from feedback, consistently challenge ourselves to grow, and focus on the work that matters most.\nThink Long-Term: We design for what's next. We create scalable systems, simplify complexity, and use AI and automation to amplify our impact.\nWho We Are\nLightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems, designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.\nThrough our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with built-in security, observability, and control.\nWe serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises.

Over time, you'll expand your scope to independently lead programs from datacenter readiness through compute deployment to customer handoff.\nYou do not need to have already led a large-scale GPU cluster deployment or a greenfield data center build. We're looking for strong infrastructure experience, solid TPM fundamentals, technical curiosity, and the ability to learn new domains quickly.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn defined infrastructure workstreams, milestones, dependencies, risks, decisions, and deliverables within larger programs\nDrive day-to-day execution across engineering, operations, vendors, and external partners\nBuild and maintain project plans, critical paths, dependencies, RAID, and execution status\nCoordinate across Infrastructure Engineering, Network, DC Operations, Platform, Security, Hardware, and other teams\nConnect engineering execution in Jira to broader infrastructure milestones and delivery commitments\nIdentify blockers and cross-functional dependencies early and drive them through resolution\nSupport hardware deployments, network and storage initiatives, datacenter expansions, migrations, and capacity growth\nDevelop enough technical depth across workstreams to ask the right questions, understand dependencies, and challenge delivery assumptions\nProvide clear, concise updates on progress, risks, decisions, and mitigation plans\nHelp improve Infra Delivery processes, tooling, documentation, and execution frameworks\nProgressively take on broader scope toward independently leading end-to-end infrastructure programs\nWho You Are\n5+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, infrastructure program/project management, or similar\nExperience driving programs within infrastructure, cloud, platform, SRE, systems, networking, hardware, or datacenter environments\nStrong program management fundamentals, including project planning, milestones, critical path, dependencies, RAID logs, and stakeholder management\nAble to understand technical architecture, requirements, and dependencies without needing to be the engineer implementing them\nProven ability to drive execution across multiple technical teams without direct authority\nComfortable getting into the details while maintaining visibility into the broader program outcome\nStrong communicator who creates clarity across engineering, operations, vendors, and leadership\nComfortable operating where requirements, priorities, ownership, and processes are evolving\nHigh learning agility and interest in developing expertise across datacenter and AI infrastructure\nIdeal Experience\nExperience supporting compute, network, storage, cloud infrastructure, hardware deployment, or capacity expansion programs\nExperience working with hardware vendors, colocation providers, VARs, or external partners\nExperience coordinating programs through Smartsheet \nExperience coordinating engineering execution through Jira\nFamiliarity with infrastructure capacity planning or hardware lifecycle management\nExposure to GPU infrastructure, AI/ML infrastructure, HPC, or distributed systems\nExperience in a startup, high-growth company, or similarly fast-moving technical environment\nWe are committed to offering competitive compensation that reflects the value each team member brings to our mission. Final offers are based on factors such as experience, skills, geographic location, and role expectations. In addition to base salary, our total rewards package for eligible roles includes a discretionary bonus, a meaningful equity component, and comprehensive benefits.\nThe anticipated annual base salary range for this role is:\n$160,000—$220,000 USD\nBenefits and Perks\nWe offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support our employees’ health, well-being, and long-term success:\nComprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and eligible dependents.\nMeaningful Equity: RSUs that give employees a stake in the company's long-term success.\n Retirement Savings: 401(k) matching (U.S.) and pension contributions (U.K.).\nFlexible Time Off: Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and floating holidays to support work-life balance.\nCompany-Wide Winter Break: Two weeks of company closure each winter to disconnect and recharge.\nPaid Parental & Family Leave: Paid leave to support you and your family through life's important moments.\nProfessional Development: Annual learning and development allowance to support your professional growth.\nWellness Benefits: Wellness and work-from-home stipends to support your physical and mental well-being.\nSabbatical Program: Four weeks of paid sabbatical leave after four years of service.\nFlexible Work: Flexible schedules and a hybrid work model for our office-based teams.\n In-Office Meals: Complimentary meals at our office hubs.\nBenefits may vary by location, team, and role.\nAt Lightning AI, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We believe that diverse teams drive innovation and create better products.
