Senior Technical Program Manager - Public Cloud

What You’ll Do

* Own complex programs from planning through rollout, delivering Lambda Public Cloud roadmap commitments with clear accountability for schedule and quality.

* Turn product priorities and engineering strategy into execution plans with defined outcomes, milestones, owners, and decision points.

* Partner with engineers on architecture, implementation estimates, and sequencing; make dependencies, risks, and delivery tradeoffs visible early.

* Coordinate launches across compute, networking, storage, and the cloud control plane, aligning Engineering, Product, Infrastructure, SRE, Security, and Support on readiness and customer impact.

* Build a practical delivery cadence that connects roadmap planning, capacity availability, testing, release gates, rollout plans, and operational handoffs.

* Give teams and leadership a shared view of progress, decisions, and blockers. Drive timely escalation, resolve cross-team dependencies, and follow through on commitments.

* Define launch success measures for service availability, provisioning, performance, and customer experience; use post-launch reviews to improve future delivery.

You

* Bring at least 8 years in technical program leadership or engineering management, with a record of shipping complex cloud services.

* Understand software delivery, infrastructure architecture, and distributed systems well enough to assess implementation choices and challenge assumptions with engineers.

* Have worked with GPU infrastructure, machine learning platforms, or orchestration systems such as Kubernetes.

* Can independently lead several teams through ambiguous requirements, competing priorities, and delivery risks, influencing decisions without direct authority.

* Communicate technical issues and business consequences clearly, adapting the detail for engineering teams and senior stakeholders.

* Use delivery methods and planning tools effectively, choosing processes that improve execution and ownership.

Nice to Have

* Experience launching customer-facing infrastructure services, including APIs, tenant isolation, access controls, metering, or billing.

* Familiarity with GPU capacity planning, fleet lifecycle, cloud service reliability, and production incident follow-up.

* Experience helping a growing organization establish repeatable planning and delivery practices.
