We provide cost-effective, high-performance infrastructure for AI start-ups and large enterprise customers. Nscale enables AI-focused companies to achieve superior results by reducing the complexity of AI development. Our GPU cloud bolsters technical capabilities and directly supports strategic business outcomes, including cost management, rapid innovation, and environmental responsibility.\nWe thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you'll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. If you join our team, you'll be contributing to building the technology that powers the future.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive the delivery of the network builds behind Nscale's GPU clusters across Europe. You'll join our Deployment organisation, a build org that owns every step from hardware arrival on site through to customer acceptance.\nThis is a delivery-ownership role, not a pure coordination one. You'll run the schedule, risk, and dependency management for network bring-up across multiple concurrent sites, translating network designs and vendor commitments into a build plan the whole team can execute against - and you'll be close enough to the technical detail to know when a \"green\" status isn't actually green. The role involves regular travel to our sites.\nWhat You'll be Doing\nOwn the end-to-end program plan for network deployment across GPU cluster builds - from hardware delivery and cabling through fabric bring-up, acceptance testing, and customer handover.\nDrive cross-functional coordination between Network Engineering, Network Architecture, Data Centre Operations, vendors, and customers to keep builds on schedule.\nIdentify, track, and resolve schedule risks and blockers before they hit the critical path - long-lead optics and hardware, vendor delays, site readiness, staffing.\nBuild and maintain reporting on program status, milestones, and risk for leadership and customer-facing stakeholders.\nManage vendor and partner delivery commitments for network hardware, optics, and installation services, holding them accountable to schedule and quality.\nRun program governance: regular cadence calls, RAID logs, change control, and post-build retrospectives to improve future builds.\nPartner with Network Architecture and Engineering to turn reference designs and BOMs into site-specific, sequenced build plans.\nCoordinate acceptance testing and validation milestones ahead of customer handover, ensuring documentation and sign-off requirements are met on time.\nAbout You\n5+ years of technical program or project management experience in large-scale data centre, cloud, or network infrastructure environments.\nExperience at a hyperscaler, cloud provider, or major network vendor, or delivering comparable large-scale infrastructure programs.\nStrong working knowledge of data centre networking concepts (routing/switching, fabric architectures, WAN edge) sufficient to assess technical risk and challenge status reporting - you don't need to configure the fabric, but you need to understand what \"done\" looks like.\nTrack record of managing multiple concurrent, fast-moving builds with hard customer deadlines.\nSkilled at vendor and stakeholder management, including holding partners accountable to committed schedules.\nStrong program reporting and communication skills - able to translate technical status into clear, decision-ready updates for leadership and customers.\nCalm under pressure, comfortable making trade-off calls on live builds with incomplete information.\nWillingness to travel across Europe to sites as needed.\nNice to Have\nExperience program-managing GPU cluster, HPC, or AI training infrastructure builds.\nFamiliarity with network fabric technologies relevant to GPU clusters (Ethernet/InfiniBand, EVPN/VXLAN, RoCE).\nExperience with program and risk tooling (e.g. Jira, Smartsheet, Monday, RAID/MOP frameworks).\nPMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent program/project management certification.\nExperience standing up or improving build-program processes in a scaling organisation.\nWhy this role matters\nEvery day a network build slips is a day a customer's GPUs sit idle. Your work decides whether our builds land on schedule, on spec, and ready for the customers waiting on them.\nFor information on how Nscale handles candidate personal data, please see our Employee & Candidate Privacy Notice: Here.\nNscale does not accept unsolicited candidate submissions from recruitment agencies.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4697,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Data Centers & Colocation","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T19:48:47Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker, Senior or Specialist Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker; Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-13T06:20:30+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":69,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nscale-technical-program-manager-networking","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nscale-technical-program-manager-networking.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T17:32:04Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"assistant_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3565,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48155},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48155"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnscale-technical-program-manager-networking"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnscale-technical-program-manager-networking"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnscale-technical-program-manager-networking"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nscale-technical-program-manager-networking\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnscale-technical-program-manager-networking"}]}
