TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER

LOCATION: REMOTE/SF-HYBRID · FULL-TIME

ABOUT ANDROMEDA

Andromeda Cluster was founded by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross to give early-stage startups access to the kind of scaled AI infrastructure once reserved only for hyperscalers.

We began with a single managed cluster — but it filled almost instantly. Since then, we’ve been quietly building the systems, network, and orchestration layer that makes the world’s AI infrastructure more accessible.

Today, Andromeda works with leading AI labs, data centers, and cloud providers to deliver compute when and where it’s needed most. Our platform routes training and inference jobs across global supply, unlocking flexibility and efficiency in one of the fastest-growing markets on earth.

Our long-term vision is to build the liquidity layer for global AI compute. We are expanding to new frontiers to find the brightest that work in AI infrastructure, research and engineering.

The Role

This role owns our provider relationships on the execution side. You'll run the programs that make a provider work well inside Andromeda. This includes onboarding new providers and sites, capacity rollouts, hardware and fabric quality issues, and major incidents. You'll be the person our providers answer to on delivery timelines and open items.

When a customer's training run is down because of a provider-side failure, you're the incident commander: you run the response across our SREs, the provider's engineers, and the customer until it's resolved.

You'll have no formal authority over provider teams. What you'll have is the plan, the escalation path, the contractual commitments, and the relationship. You'll need to be good at using all four.

Nobody owns this end to end today; it gets picked up by whichever engineer has bandwidth, and both providers and customers have noticed the inconsistency. You'd be the first person in this role, so part of the job is defining what provider program management looks like here.

What You’ll Do

• Manage new provider and site onboarding, capacity expansions, remediation of recurring hardware or network issues, and provider relationships.
• Act as incident commander during major provider-side incidents: assemble the right people from our SRE team, the provider, and the affected customer, run the response, own communication throughout, and drive the post-incident remediation program afterward. You own command and coordination; our SREs remain the technical leads making the engineering calls.
• Keep a real plan for each program; milestones, owners, dependencies, risks. Maintain visibility to everyone involved, including the provider.
• Hold providers to their commitments: structured check-ins, tracked action items, and escalation to provider leadership when things slip, backed by what's in the contract.
