Senior Technical Program Manager – LLM Inference

About Nebius: Nebius is leading a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy. We are building a full-stack AI cloud platform that supports developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment, without the cost and complexity of building large in-house AI/ML infrastructure. Built by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI. Listed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America and Israel. Our team of 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D. Role As a Technical Program Manager in Token Factory, your primary focus will be coordinating complex cross-functional projects, including new model launches, bringing new GPU platforms into production serving, engineering quality and platform-wide improvement projects, and the end-to-end delivery pipeline for new AI models. You will bring together multiple engineering teams, understand the critical path, proactively manage dependencies and risks, and ensure that ambitious technical goals are delivered predictably, on time, and without unnecessary operational overhead. Your responsibilities will include: • Leading template and model delivery — from weights through validation to production endpoint. • Coordinating model onboarding and production delivery, from infrastructure readiness to successful customer availability. • Running the Applied AI / Customer Delivery sync — driving open issues to resolution and unblocking teams between meetings. • Coordinating the bring-up of new GPU platforms for serving — engine and kernel readiness, benchmarking against current hardware, and template migration once validated. • Partnering with Token Factory Product on the serverless launch path — ensuring validated templates hand off cleanly into catalogue, model card, and public availability. • Building and maintaining execution plans, identifying risks early, and ensuring blockers are resolved before they impact delivery. • Working closely with engineering managers, technical leads, product managers, SRE, infrastructure, networking, security, and other platform teams. • Facilitating technical decision-making and ensuring ownership and accountability across complex cross-team projects. • Continuously improving engineering delivery processes within Applied AI's delivery chain to make execution more predictable while maintaining a sustainable pace for engineering teams.
