Technical Program Management, Model Development

About the role

As TPM, you will own end-to-end execution across the model development lifecycle, partnering with research and applied science leads to shape goals, priorities, and success metrics, and managing planning, milestones, dependencies, and risk across training, evaluation, and launch.

You'll be the connective tissue between research, engineering, product, and safety teams, translating fast-changing research priorities into clear plans, reasoning about trade-offs in data, compute, and evaluation methodology, and surfacing risks to leadership before they become blockers.

Own end-to-end execution of complex technical programs across the model development lifecycle, partnering with research and applied science leads to translate research goals into clear plans, milestones, and success metrics. Reason about technical trade-offs in model training, evaluation, data, and infrastructure, and coordinate across research, engineering, and product to keep training and evaluation work unblocked.

Communicate program status, risk, and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders and leadership, bringing lightweight structure to fast-moving, ambiguous research work. We know that strong candidates come from many different backgrounds and experiences. If you are excited about the role and believe you could make an impact, we encourage you to apply, even if you do not meet every qualification listed below.

Significant experience in technical program management, with a track record of delivering complex, cross-functional programs, ideally spanning pretraining, post-training, or evaluation.
