Who We Are

Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.

Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.

We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.

The Way We Work

The people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here's what that looks like in practice:

Move with Urgency: We move quickly, make thoughtful decisions, and keep momentum. We value action over perfection and learn by shipping.

Take Ownership: We own outcomes, not just our individual work. We make decisions that move the company forward and follow through.

Communicate Openly: We communicate directly, seek to understand, and create clarity for others. Honest conversations help us move faster together.

Build Great Teams: We lead by example, empower others, and create healthy teams where people can do their best work.

Raise the Bar: We're always improving ourselves. We learn from feedback, consistently challenge ourselves to grow, and focus on the work that matters most.

Think Long-Term: We design for what's next. We create scalable systems, simplify complexity, and use AI and automation to amplify our impact.

About the Role

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to join our Infrastructure Delivery team and help drive programs across compute, network, storage, hardware, platform engineering, and data center operations.

You'll work alongside Senior Infrastructure TPMs on complex datacenter and AI infrastructure deployments, taking direct ownership of defined workstreams while developing broader end-to-end infrastructure expertise. Over time, you'll expand your scope to independently lead programs from datacenter readiness through compute deployment to customer handoff.

You do not need to have already led a large-scale GPU cluster deployment or a greenfield data center build. We're looking for strong infrastructure experience, solid TPM fundamentals, technical curiosity, and the ability to learn new domains quickly.

What You’ll Do

Own defined infrastructure workstreams, milestones, dependencies, risks, decisions, and deliverables within larger programs

Drive day-to-day execution across engineering, operations, vendors, and external partners

Build and maintain project plans, critical paths, dependencies, RAID, and execution status

Coordinate across Infrastructure Engineering, Network, DC Operations, Platform, Security, Hardware, and other teams

Connect engineering execution in Jira to broader infrastructure milestones and delivery commitments

Identify blockers and cross-functional dependencies early and drive them through re …
