Senior Technical Program Manager - Public Cloud

*Note: This position requires presence in our San Jose, San Francisco, or Bellevue office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
