Technical Program Manager, Data Center Operations
About TensorWave
Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.
About the Role
TensorWave is seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager with a strong data center operations background to lead and scale the operational programs that keep our next-generation AI infrastructure running at peak performance.
In this role, you’ll own the full lifecycle of data center operations programs: from hardware deployment and capacity management through incident response, change management, and continuous reliability improvement. You’ll be the operational spine connecting facilities engineers, network, hardware, DevOps, and SRE teams, and executive leadership to ensure our AMD-powered AI clusters deliver on customer commitments at scale, with zero tolerance for preventable downtime.
This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who brings operational discipline to complex, fast-moving environments and maintains clear communication and structured execution under pressure.
What You’ll Do
Own end-to-end program management for data center operations across multiple sites, covering hardware lifecycle, capacity planning, change management, incident response, and operational readiness
Serve as the primary coordination point across facilities, networking, hardware, and software teams: driving accountability to operational SLAs, program schedules, and customer commitments
Define and track program milestones, critical path dependencies, and resource requirements across concurrent multi-site operational programs
Translate operational status and risk into clear reporting for engineering, product, and executive leadership audiences
Identify, escalate, and mitigate risks to site reliability, capacity availability, and customer-facing uptime before they become incidents
Coordinate hardware deployment, node lifecycle, and maintenance sequencing across sites in alignment with capacity and customer commitments
Partner with network, power, facilities, and infrastructure engineering teams to drive operational readiness for high-density GPU compute clusters
Own post-incident retrospectives and corrective action tracking, driving lessons learned into durable process improvements
Maintain program documentation including operational runbooks, risk registers, vendor trackers, capacity plans, and change management records
Who You Are
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology (or a related technical field or equivalent practical experience)
5+ years of technical program management experience, with at least 3 years directly managing data center operations, infrastructure programs, or critical facilities at scale
Demonstrated experience coordinating across facilities, network, and hardware engineering teams in a live production environment
Familiarity with data center operational systems and infrastructure: power distribution, cooling, structured cabling, and physical layer dependencies
Proven track record managing complex, multi-site operational programs on compressed timelines in a high-growth environment
Strong technical communication skills: able to translate operational status and risk to both field teams and executive stakeholders
Experience with Jira or equivalent program management tooling for milestone tracking, incident management, and cross-team coordination
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with high-density GPU or AI compute deployments and their operational demands
Background managing colocation or multi-tenant infrastructure environments
Familiarity with network infrastructure in data center environments: top-of-rack switching, structured fiber, spine-leaf topology
Experience with observability tooling (Grafana, Prometheus, or equivalent) for operational visibility
Prior experience at a hyperscaler, cloud provider, or high-growth AI infrastructure company
PMP or equivalent project management certification
