## About the Role

* 10+ years of Technical Program Management experience in infrastructure or networking environments
 * Experience owning a portfolio spanning multiple engineering teams, where the TPM sets the plan of record
 * Subject matter expertise in network fundamentals: routing, backbone topology, transport, and data center interconnection
 * Track record of landing multi-quarter infrastructure programs with hardware and supply chain dependencies
 * Demonstrated ability to establish program structure in ambiguous or newly formed domains
 * Communication skills with ability to translate technical complexity into clear executive updates

Preferred Qualifications:

 * Experience with data center capacity delivery lifecycle, including provision-ready and break-ground milestone management
 * Prior experience mentoring or setting direction for other TPMs
 * Background in large-scale distributed systems or hyperscaler networking environments
 * Experience standing up program structure in a rapidly growing or reorganizing org
 * Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
 * Experience driving network components of large-scale capacity planning cycles: demand forecasting, ordering, and fulfillment
 * Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
 * Background in backbone, optical, or long-haul transport networking
 * Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)

## Description

The Backbone & Capacity Delivery Technical Program Manager operates at the intersection of backbone architecture, where multi-year topology and optical evolution decisions are made, and capacity delivery, where those decisions become provisioned, production-ready capacity on a certain date. You will drive the end-to-end backbone capacity delivery program required to support large-scale AI infrastructure as the senior individual contributor anchor for a portfolio spanning multiple engineering teams.

Technical Program Manager, Network Infrastructure: Backbone & Capacity Delivery Responsibilities:

 * Drive multi-year backbone architecture programs end-to-end, spanning backbone evolution and cross-backbone initiatives
 * Partner with Backbone Engineering, Optical, and Network Planning teams to land architecture roadmaps that hold up against shifting AI capacity demand
 * Own the program surface where long-haul transport, optical, and routing decisions intersect, surfacing tradeoffs early enough to change the outcome
 * Drive standards and plan of record for backbone reliability and performance
 * Drive network capacity delivery programs from demand signal through provision-ready and construction milestones, with named accountability at every gate
 * Partner with Network Planning, Supply Chain, and Data Center teams to close on delivery commitments on time and at quality
 * Surface and resolve cross-functional blockers across the capacity delivery critical path, from site readiness to hardware availability
 * Build the mechanisms that make capacity delivery status legible to leadership
 * Operate as the senior individual contributor anchor for a core program lane, setting operating cadence, escalation paths, and definition of done
 * Establish program structure in domains that do not yet have it, moving from ambiguity to plan of record
 * Mentor and raise the bar for Technical Program Managers across the organization
 * Drive transparency through structured program trackers, risk documentation, and stakeholder communication
 * Build durable partnerships with Engineering, Network Planning, Supply Chain, Cloud, and Operations teams
 * Identify systemic risks early, escalate with clear mitigation proposals, and close on resolutions with named owners
 * Translate deep technical tradeoffs into executive-level risk narratives that drive decisions
