Staff Technical Program Manager, Deployments

United States | Full-time | Remote, occasional travel required

The role

You’ll get Evergrid’s customers live by leading the build-out of data-center infrastructure and commissioning of high-density GPU/HPC clusters. From technical kickoff through launch and into steady-state operations, you’ll own each deployment end to end - translating unclear customer requirements into concrete, actionable plans for physical infrastructure delivery.

This is a hands-on role: you’ll work onsite as needed at data centers, drive deployments involving power and cooling (including liquid cooling), and lead pod and cluster-level commissioning and testing. You'll work cross-functionally with platform, infrastructure, and supplier teams, as well as being the person customers trust to get their hardware online on schedule.

What you’ll own

• Customer deployments end to end, from technical kickoff to physical delivery, with clear milestones, owners, and go-live criteria.
• Deployment plans that turn evolving requirements into clear technical specs, scoped work, and step-by-step paths to physical cluster commissioning.
• On-the-ground technical leadership for cluster bring-up, integration, and testing at data centers - including power, cooling, liquid-cooling, and scalable pod design/commissioning.
• Close coordination with vendors and suppliers for timely hardware procurement, rack-elevation and power/cooling needs, and effective supply-chain management.
• Oversight of deployment schedules, logistics, and resource assignments to ensure clusters go live as committed.
• Early risk identification and sound tradeoffs under pressure that keep launches on schedule.
• Monitoring and stabilizing physical infrastructures after go-live, through handoff to steady-state site operations.
• Building repeatable deployment playbooks and improving Evergrid’s physical infrastructure processes based on learnings from each launch.

What you bring

• 5+ years of experience deploying and commissioning complex data-center infrastructure or large-scale GPU/HPC clusters, ideally with enterprise customers.
• A track record of driving hardware deployment programs to hard deadlines across multiple teams, both inside and outside your company.
• Deep working knowledge of data center power and cooling, including liquid cooling systems, networking (leaf/spine, structured cabling), and scalable rack/pod design and testing.
• Strong experience working directly with vendors, suppliers, and data center operators, including managing supply chains, deployment schedules, rack elevations, and facilities-level power/cooling delivery.
• Clear communication on complex technical topics, with engineers, vendors, and executives alike.
• Comfort working directly with customers onsite and owning outcomes end to end.
• A bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to have

• Experience with AutoCAD or similar tools for sketching layouts or visualizing rack elevations.
