About the Role
Perplexity is seeking a Technical Program Manager to serve as the liaison between model providers, engineering, and product teams, advancing the core inference platform. This role involves orchestrating the integration of new models and capacity into production while executing the roadmap for the inference platform itself, balancing product, engineering, and financial considerations.
Responsibilities
- Execute the roadmap for the inference platform, including request handling, rate limits, quotas, usage controls, and reliability/observability.
- Act as the connective tissue between model providers and Perplexity's engineering/product teams for model onboarding, launch readiness, and rollout.
- Drive latency, throughput, uptime, and cost-efficiency as key execution metrics, surfacing tradeoffs.
- Manage the operating model for model-release and optimization programs, including day-zero launches, across relevant teams.
- Lead cross-functional delivery for inference-stack changes from planning through post-launch validation.
- Develop mechanisms for predictable releases, such as rituals, dashboards, and checklists.
- Partner with GPU capacity and compute teams to align execution decisions with cost, capacity, and vendor constraints.
Requirements
- Strong experience in technical program management or product management within infrastructure, distributed systems, or ML/model-serving products.
- Direct experience with production LLM or ML inference, understanding serving speed, reliability, and cost.
- Comfort orchestrating across external partners and internal engineering teams with competing priorities and timelines.
- Experience with data and metrics, with the judgment to surface tradeoffs between latency, throughput, uptime, and cost.
- Ability to thrive in a small, agile team with initiative and a desire for ownership in an unprecedented environment.
- 6+ years of combined technical program management or product management experience.
