1wk ago - Cerebras Systems is hiring a remote Senior / Staff Technical Program Manager - Datacenter Capacity Delivery (E2E). πŸ’Έ Salary: unspecified πŸ“Location: USA

Role Description

The DC Delivery E2E TPM is the single-threaded owner for delivering data center capacity from forecast β†’ site strategy β†’ design β†’ construction β†’ infrastructure readiness β†’ go-live. You will operate as the SSOT (Single Source of Truth) for delivery milestones, risks, and capacity outcomes while orchestrating cross-functional execution across internal teams and external partners. This is a frontier-scale role where ambiguity is high, timelines are compressed, and stakes are critical to company growth.

Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Capacity Delivery
    • Own delivery of AI-optimized data center capacity (colo, build-to-suit, retrofits, and owned facilities) from pre-contract planning through operational readiness.
    • Deliver MW-scale infrastructure aligned to aggressive GPU/AI system deployment targets.
    • Drive clarity from ambiguityβ€”translate high-level demand signals into executable delivery programs.
  • Program Structuring & Execution
    • Decompose complex build programs into workstreams with clear owners, milestones, and deliverables.
    • Build integrated plans spanning real estate, power/energy, design, procurement, construction, and deployment.
    • Establish critical path visibility and aggressively manage schedule compression.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership
    • Orchestrate execution across:
      • Real estate & site selection
      • Power & energy strategy (utilities, PPAs, interconnects)
      • Data center design (MEP, liquid cooling, high-density racks)
      • Supply chain & long-lead equipment procurement
      • Construction & commissioning
      • Infrastructure deployment (rack/cluster install)
      • Networking & backbone connectivity
      • Security, compliance, and operations readiness
    • Act as the primary interface with colocation providers, EPCs, utilities, and key vendors.
  • Risk, Cost & Governance
    • Identify and drive resolution of critical risks, constraints, and blockers across power, equipment, permitting, and supply chain.
    • Own and maintain program budgets, CapEx forecasts, and capital allocation narratives.
    • Provide structured updates and escalation paths to executive leadership.
  • Demand & Capacity Planning Integration
    • Partner with capacity planning, AI infrastructure, and finance teams to translate model demand into site-level capacity strategies.
    • Align build plans with power availability, network topology, and hardware rollout schedules.
    • Continuously optimize for time-to-capacity and cost-per-MW / cost-per-GPU deployed.
  • Operational Excellence
    • Drive E2E improvements in delivery through:
      • Standardization of build and commissioning processes
      • Implementation of program tooling and dashboards
      • Post-mortems and lessons learned loops
      • Establish scalable mechanisms to support rapid global expansion.
  • Communication & Leadership
    • Serve as SSOT for program health, milestones, and risks.
    • Deliver concise, high-signal updates to senior executives.
    • Operate effectively across distributed teams with up to 50% travel.

Qualifications

  • 12-15+ years in mission-critical facilities or data center operations
  • Experience managing multi-site, vendor-heavy environments
  • Strong expertise in electrical and mechanical systems
  • Proven track record in improving uptime and performance

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience at hyperscalers (Google, Meta, Microsoft, AWS) or neo-cloud / AI infra companies (CoreWeave, Lambda, etc.).
  • Familiarity with high-density AI workloads (liquid cooling, >30kW racks, GPU clusters).
  • Experience with:
    • Utility engagement and power delivery constraints
    • Long-lead supply chain planning (transformers, switchgear, chillers)
    • Commissioning and data center handover processes
  • Ability to operate in high-growth, ambiguous environments with limited structure.
  • Strong executive presence and ability to influence without authority.

What sets you apart

  • Extreme ownership mindset β€” you treat capacity delivery as a personal SLA.
  • Ability to move fast without breaking systems, balancing urgency with rigor.
  • Comfort operating at the intersection of hardware, real estate, and software scaling demands.
  • Clear, structured communicator who can turn chaos into executable plans.
  • Bias for action with a track record of delivering results under pressure.

Location

US (preferred SF Bay Area / remote with travel)

Benefits

  • Build a breakthrough AI platform beyond the constraints of the GPU.
  • Publish and open source their cutting-edge AI research.
  • Work on one of the fastest AI supercomputers in the world.
  • Enjoy job stability with startup vitality.
  • Our simple, non-corporate work culture that respects individual beliefs.
