Role
Who you are
- The role sits on our Agentic TPM team and is designed for a self-directed leader who can identify opportunities independently, structure ambiguous work into concrete programs, and drive implementation. We welcome candidates at either the Staff or Senior Staff level. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level
- Self starter with proven ability to identify solutions to complex, crossfunctional, and ever changing problems and drive execution end to end
- Strong technical understanding of basic data architecture, systems integration patterns, telemetry pipelines, graphs, statistics, and workflow design
- Comfortable translating business logic into scalable workflows, automations, prompts, agents, and operational guardrails
- Highly effective working across systems such as Jira, CI, bug trackers, telemetry platforms, planning tools, and internal dashboards
- Clear, concise, and executive-ready in written and verbal communication
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field
- 7+ years leading complex technical programs, workflow/tooling initiatives, or data-driven operations, with substantial experience as a TPM, technical lead, or similar cross-functional owner
- Strong understanding of APIs, system integrations, telemetry/data pipelines, dashboards, graph-based reporting, and basic statistics, with the technical depth to translate business needs into practical solutions
- Hands-on experience with tools such as Jira, Confluence, Rovo, n8n or similar agentic workflow builders, LLM coding/prompting assistants, GitHub, CI/CD systems, SQL, Python or scripting, spreadsheets, and BI/dashboarding platforms
- Proven ability to build integrated program structures across scope, schedule, metrics, risks, dependencies, and status, while partnering across engineering, infrastructure, data, and tooling teams to automate workflows, improve data quality, and deliver executive-ready reporting
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to help build the next generation of AI-driven program execution at Tenstorrent. The right candidate will turn fragmented signals into clear decisions, manual workflows into scalable automations, and business logic into agentic solutions
- What You Will Learn
- How AI-native program management can be built as a repeatable discipline inside a leading AI hardware and software company
- How flagship hardware-software programs can be run using live data, agentic workflows, and decision-ready operational systems
- How to shape the operating model, tooling strategy, and workflow architecture for a high-leverage TPM function
- How cross-functional teams build scalable execution systems spanning program management, infrastructure, software, and data
Our take
Tenstorrent is a US- and Canada-based semiconductor startup specializing in processors for AI workloads. Rather than building gneral-purpose CPUs or GPus, the company develops custom chips and sofrware optimized for running moder AI models. As demand for AI accelerates, and as a global chip shortage reshapes the semiconductor industry, these trends have become strong tailwinds for Tenstorrent.
The company’s unique approach is to build for this future software, which it believes will be written at a higher level. Combining this with conditional computing, Tenstorrent supports a scalable distributed network approach that is analogous to a human brain.
While the market for specialized AI hardware is destined to be gigantic, the company has to compete with a plethora of hopeful startups (as well as major tech companies like NVIDIA and Qualcomm). That said, Tenstorrent boasts an excellent trajectory so far, with its latest moves including unveiling its high-end Wormhole AI processors, and a partnership with LG which will see the development of chips for "Affectionate Intelligence".
