Senior Staff Technical Program Manager - Compute Platform

Requirements:

• 8+ years managing technical programs and delivering against aggressive timelines
• Track record leading technical teams through genuine ambiguity, not just executing a defined plan
• Experience in developer tools, SDKs, compilers, or adjacent platform software
• A habit of turning diffuse problems into specific, minimal, assignable asks
• Technical fluency to engage engineering leads directly on scoping and tradeoffs, and comfort reading and reasoning about code
• Willingness to re-baseline against reality rather than defend dates that have stopped being true, and the judgment to tell a target that motivates from one that just generates fiction
• You've built or automated the reconciliation between planning docs and ticket systems, and you treat drift between them as a defect
• Fluency moving between fast-cycle delivery and longer-horizon program building as the situation demands
• AI as a core part of how you work. You've built agent-driven workflows for program management and want to push that much further
• Experience in customer-facing technical roles
• Highly effective written and verbal communication
• Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience standing up program tracking and reporting infrastructure from scratch. You've designed a team's operating cadence, not just scheduled it, and polled the people affected before changing it
• Customer-facing technical experience
• Capacity and staffing modeling from conflicting inputs, with the discipline to label an unknown as unknown
• A demonstrated ability to earn technical stakeholders' trust through consistency and results
• Genuine enthusiasm for reading and writing PRDs and ERDs
• Working knowledge of quantum computing, though no quantum background is required. We'll teach you!
• The total compensation package includes base, bonus, equity, and a range of benefit options found on our career site.
• If this role has a commission structure, the compensation range below just reflects the base compensation range.
• Compensation will vary based on individual factors such as education, qualifications, and experience of the final candidate(s), specific office location, and calibration against relevant market data and internal team equity. Posted base salary figures are subject to change as new market data becomes available. Our benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k), unlimited PTO and paid holidays, parental/adoption leave, legal insurance, and a home technology stipend. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided when a candidate receives an offer of employment.
