Technical Program Manager, Global Infrastructure Planning

About the Team

The Compute Infrastructure team runs the GPU fleet and large compute clusters that support OpenAI’s research, ChatGPT, and the API. Our work spans GPUs, CPUs, storage, networking, and cloud infrastructure, bringing these systems together so teams can train and serve models at scale.

We seek to learn from deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this powerful tool is used responsibly and safely. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.

You will work closely with workload owners, infrastructure engineering, network deployment teams, Finance, and cloud providers to turn forecasts into supply and allocation plans. You will understand workload architecture, guide decisions when capacity is constrained, and drive opportunities to improve utilization and reduce waste. Your work will span planning over multiple years and ongoing capacity management across regions and providers, including AWS, GCP, Azure, and OCI.
