We are looking for a TPM who has actively built and shipped products in the past and understands how to deliver robust, scalable developer tooling and distributed systems. In this role, you will own the strategic alignment and end-to-end execution of our most critical infrastructure initiatives-from initial scoping to measurable, company-wide and customer-ready adoption. You will serve as the core communication backbone and connective tissue between platform engineering, product teams, and executive leadership. Operating in a hyper-growth, demanding AI environment, you will translate SGP's architectural complexities into clear execution strategies, unblock engineering bottlenecks, proactively mitigate deployment risks, and ensure our foundational platforms deliver reliable, performant, and secure systems capable of global-scale deployment., * Lead strategic planning and high-velocity execution for SGP core capabilities (orchestration layers, model serving, APIs). Manage features from technical scoping and architecture design through production launch. * Drive execution and manage complex technical dependencies across systems engineering, Core ML, Research, and Product teams to deliver unified SGP capabilities with architectural consistency. * Translate complex infrastructure metrics (LLM inference optimization, GPU utilization, compute orchestration) into actionable roadmaps. Map demands like multi-tenancy, data privacy, and isolation into platform features. * Proactively identify, track, and mitigate technical risks unique to massive-scale GenAI infrastructure and global SGP deployments, maintaining momentum despite fast-evolving AI frameworks. * Establish lightweight agile processes that empower engineers to ship fast without breaking core systems. Define and enforce clear SLOs and performance benchmarks to guarantee production-grade reliability for clients. * Track and report on SGP adoption metrics, system reliability, delivery forecasts, and engineering bottlenecks directly to executive leadership to ensure the platform scales responsibly. ## Related Videos - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [Stop Renaming Teams, Start Product Thinking: A PM's Guide to Platform-as-a-Product](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100342-stop-renaming-teams-start-product-thinking-a-pm-s-guide-to-platform-as-a-product) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
