Job description

We are looking for a driven, diligent leader to join our Technical Program Management team for Compute Platform Software. You will work with engineering and product leaders on the planning and execution of programs to develop and publish software enabling new enterprise systems that are at the heart of cross-industry advancement of AI applications. Our work has made major impact in various fields, and is used across leading academic institutions, start-ups, and industry; including the world’s largest Internet companies. We need passionate, hard-working, and creative people to help us reach our engineering goals.

This role is responsible for overseeing the end-to-end release management process – ensuring smooth, timely, and high-quality software releases from design through full production deployment at scale. You will coordinate release activities across multiple teams, aligning incremental breakthroughs with larger production release cycles to ensure consistency and predictability. In this position, you will partner closely with engineering, QA, product management, and operations teams to plan, track, and implement release objectives. You will collect requirements, define release priorities, and maintain detailed release calendars to coordinate multiple parallel efforts. You will develop and continuously improve release management processes — including scheduling, version control, deployment procedures, and post-release validation — to optimize delivery pipelines and reduce release risk. Additionally, you will collaborate with engineering management to refine workflows, streamline approvals, and drive continuous improvement in software delivery efficiency.

What you'll be doing: 

  • Collaborate across product and engineering teams, spanning the entire stack, to ensure release readiness and successful delivery of enterprise software while being viewed as a leader across all Business Units

  • Manage software branching strategies, including feature, release, and hotfix branches, to ensure smooth integration, version control, and timely delivery of releases

  • Assess the release-readiness status, anticipate risk, and provide strategies to mitigate risk

  • Develop program schedules and KPIs to measure release health, predictability, and achievements and regularly communicate program status and key issues to senior leadership

  • Utilize coding skills to build or enhance automation scripts, dashboards, and tools that streamline release management and improve delivery efficiency

  • Work with Engineering and QA teams on test plans, execution, reviews, failure analysis and assessing overall quality and risk

  • Work with Customer Program Managers to track and resolve software issues incorporating technical feedback from CSPs and OEMs

  • Identify failures, lead retrospective analysis, and help to develop improvement action plans

What we need to see: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or similar field or equivalent experience

  • 10+ years of hands-on experience with software program / release management in tech or related fields

  • Thorough knowledge of software engineering and life cycle principles

  • Ability to think strategically and tactically and to build consensus to make programs successful

  • You should have strong solution focused skills, consistently successful implementing systematic solutions

  • Must have experience influencing decisions and leading teams in a dynamic environment

  • Enthusiastic, responsive and passionate about finding opportunities for process improvement

  • Excellent communications and technical presentation skills as well as being thorough and ability to multitask is important

Ways to stand out from the crowd: 

  • Experience on boards and servers in the datacenter space or with productizing enterprise server systems coordinating activities between HW / SW organizations

  • Deep understanding of software engineering principles and enterprise system architecture

  • Skilled in modern programming languages and practical familiarity with efficiency tools and process automation

  • Experience with OSS profiling and vulnerability resolution applying tools like Black Duck or Palamida

  • Previous experience in QA is a plus, providing valuable insight into release validation and quality assurance processes

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 168,000 USD - 258,750 USD for Level 4, and 200,000 USD - 322,000 USD for Level 5.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until July 27, 2026.
