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. ## 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 ## Qualifications - 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 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) ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Not stated -
