About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own and continuously improve the end-to-end qualification process for new compute capacity, from initial provider intake through final go/no-go recommendation.
Run multiple provider evaluations in parallel, setting timelines, tracking status, and keeping every stakeholder aligned on what is needed and by when.
Partner with infrastructure engineering, network engineering, data center engineering, and SRE teams to plan and coordinate technical validation, then translate their findings into clear decisions for leadership.
Review provider technical specifications and questionnaire responses for completeness and accuracy, flagging gaps, inconsistencies, and risks that warrant follow-up.
Conduct first-pass analysis of provider data yourself: compare specifications across suppliers, sanity-check performance claims, and surface issues before deeper engineering review.
Maintain the standards, templates, and documentation that define what meets spec across compute, networking, storage, power, cooling, and operational support.
Build a structured, auditable record of evaluation outcomes that informs sourcing decisions and scales the qualification function as the team grows.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years in technical program or project management, infrastructure program management, or a comparable technical operations role, ideally involving hardware, data center, or large-scale compute environments.
Proven ability to run multiple complex, cross-functional workstreams to deadline, with strong organization and stakeholder management.
Working technical fluency across data center infrastructure: server and GPU hardware, high-performance networking (InfiniBand or Ethernet fabrics), storage, and power and cooling fundamentals; enough depth to read a detailed technical specification and know what to question.
Hands-on comfort with data: able to write scripts or queries (for example, Python or SQL) to compare, validate, and analyze provider specifications and test results independently.
Excellent written and verbal communication; able to turn dense technical detail into clear recommendations for both engineers and executives.
Willingness to travel to provider and data center sites as needed.
