We're looking for a Senior or Principal Technical Program Manager to join our AI Research team to drive multiple AI data generation and curation workstreams — standing up new project teams, keeping them on schedule, and incorporating that data into the model training pipeline.\r\nYou don't need to be an ML researcher, but you must be genuinely curious about how AI data fuels model development and able to clearly articulate what your programs will deliver. The successful candidate thrives in ambiguity, communicates exceptionally well across audiences, and knows how to build clarity and momentum on a fast-paced, rapidly scaling team.\r\nWhat You'll Be Building\r\nLaunch and operate cross-functional project teams that produce AI data for scientific superintelligence, ensuring each team executes with at high velocity and delivers standardized outputs the model training team can directly consume.\r\nServe as the key communication interface between project teams and the research, science, and model training organizations; set up the organizational information flows that allow this communication to happen with speed at scale.\r\nDrive accountability across distributed, cross-functional teams without relying on direct authority; build consensus through clear communication and sound judgment.\r\nDefine and enforce data delivery standards, QA gates, and handoff protocols so model training receives consistent, high-quality inputs across all active project teams.\r\nImplement best practices for rapid experimentation and iteration, enabling new project teams to ramp efficiently as additional data initiatives come online.\r\nDevelop clear documentation and reporting to communicate vision, track progress, and align project team work with broader AI Research priorities; represent program status and risks accurately even when the picture is uncertain or evolving.\r\nWhat You'll Need to Succeed\r\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Life Sciences, or a related field.\r\n8+ years of program or project management experience in the technology or life sciences field.\r\nProven experience leading cross-functional programs and driving them to successful completion under tight delivery timelines.\r\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn technical and data requirements into actionable program roadmaps.\r\nExceptional written and verbal communication skills; track record of producing executive-quality documents, roadmaps, and updates that drive decisions.\r\nBonus Points For\r\nDirect experience in AI/ML research or product organizations, ideally in a program management or research operations capacity.\r\nWorking familiarity with model training data pipelines, dataset curation, or ML evaluation workflows — sufficient to engage credibly with researchers and ask good questions.\r\nExperience managing programs that produce standardized outputs for downstream technical consumers (e.g., model training, eval, or platform teams).\r\nEnthusiastic about emerging technologies and experienced in driving rapid experimentation and program iteration.\r\nCompensation\r\nWe offer competitive base compensation with bonus potential and generous early-stage equity.
