Role
Who you are
- Some prior experience in a TPM role - we're open to candidates who came into TPM from engineering, ops, or another technical function, but you should have done the work in practice: owning programs end-to-end, driving cross-functional resolution, managing external dependencies
- A technical background or demonstrated experience in a highly technical environment - you don't need to know GPUs on day one, but you need to be able to engage meaningfully with technical problems and earn credibility with infrastructure engineers
- A genuine bias toward action - you see a problem and start moving, even when the path forward isn't fully clear
- Resilience in a fast-paced, sometimes chaotic environment - you adapt quickly, stay effective under pressure, and don't wait for perfect conditions to make progress
- Strong organizational instincts - you can manage multiple workstreams, track dependencies, and keep things moving without losing the thread
- Ability to zoom out - you can be deep in the weeds on an operational problem while keeping the bigger picture in view
What the job involves
- Together AI runs one of the most demanding GPU fleets in the industry
- Keeping that fleet healthy - every node online, every GPU performing, every datacenter transition running on schedule - is operationally complex and genuinely high-stakes
- We're looking for a Junior TPM to own that operational reality
- This is not a coordination or status-reporting role
- You will own the end-to-end node lifecycle - from the moment a node goes down through repair, return, and re-integration - and you'll drive the cross-functional work to close every gap as fast as possible
- You'll manage datacenter bring-ups, hunt down GPU utilization loss, and build the processes and dashboards that make our fleet operations more visible and accountable over time
- The environment moves fast and doesn't always come with a clear playbook
- Much of what you'll work on is genuinely novel - you'll be figuring things out alongside engineers who are building at the frontier
- If that sounds like an obstacle, this isn't the right role
- If it sounds like the best possible way to learn, keep reading
- Own the end-to-end node lifecycle - from failure through repair, return, and re-integration — across provider ticketing, internal tooling, and the state machine that governs each stage
- Drive node remediation to resolution with urgency, eliminating gaps in ownership at every handoff
- Manage project timelines for new datacenter bring-ups, coordinating across internal teams and external providers to keep milestones on track
- Identify and diagnose GPU utilization loss across the fleet, working with engineering leads to drive resolution
- Build dashboards and tracking processes that make efficiency gaps visible and ensure they get closed
- Continuously improve operational workflows through process improvements and lightweight automation
- Develop and maintain relationships with external datacenter providers
