About Volta
Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds.
About The Role
Volta builds and operates large scale GPU compute infrastructure for AI workloads. Our platform is Kubernetes-native, spans multiple regions, and delivers virtual machines, storage, and networking through a fully automated infrastructure stack.
Platform Engineering is organized as capability teams, each owning a defined part of the stack: compute, storage, the control plane and API layer, confidential computing, networking, and the customer-facing surface. You will lead one of them.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You set technical direction for your team's area, carry accountability for what it delivers, and manage the people doing the work. You are expected to stay close enough to the code to take on the hard problems yourself.
What You Will Be Doing
Lead a platform engineering team: technical direction, design reviews, code review, and day-to-day delivery.
Set the technical direction for your team's area of the stack, and design and build the platform layers it owns as product requirements take shape.
Represent platform engineering in roadmap planning: translate product requirements into scoped, sequenced technical work, communicate trade-offs, and keep delivery on track.
Work closely with the bring-up teams to surface operational pain points and turn them into scalable platform features.
Collaborate with the security engineering team to integrate security guidance at the platform layer and ensure findings are remediated effectively.
Coordinate with the other platform engineering leads on shared architecture, joint initiatives, and cross-team and cross-timezone delivery.
Own reliability, observability, security, and interface and versioning standards for the services your team ships.
Stay hands-on: take on complex or high-risk engineering work directly alongside the team.
Run post-mortems and close structural gaps after incidents, not just the immediate issue.
Manage the team: 1:1s, performance conversations, hiring interviews, and onboarding.
What You Bring
5+ years in cloud platform or infrastructure engineering, with at least 2 years leading an engineering team.
Strong backend or systems programming background in a production environment. Our working languages are Python, Go, and Rust; we welcome strong engineers from other compiled or object-oriented languages (for example C++, C#, or Java) who are ready to work across our stack as it evolves.
Kubernetes at depth: cluster operations, CNI networking, scheduling, and workload management in production.
GPU infrastructure experience: provisioning, resource allocation, and surfacing capacity through a platform or API layer.
Solid networking fundamentals: L2/L3, VLANs, overlay networks, and multi-tenant isolation in cloud environments.
Service architecture skills: designing, operating, and versioning production-grade control-plane services and APIs across IaaS and above, holding the team to clean, industry-standard interface and breaking-change practices.
Security awareness: trust boundaries, least privilege, and secure defaults when building platform services.
Proven people management: running 1:1s, delivering performance feedback, and taking accountability for a team's delivery and wellbeing.
Clear communicator who can translate technical complexity for product and leadership stakeholders.
Nice to Have (But Not Essential)
None of these are required. Several map to specific teams, so strength in one or more helps us match you to the right one:
Fluency with AI-assisted development, and interest in scaling agent-assisted workflows across the team (agentic CLI tools, MCP, skills, APIs) to amplify delivery.
Familiarity with confidential computing technologies: TEEs, AMD SEV, Intel TDX, or Confidential Containers (CoCo).
Experience building SaaS or PaaS layers on top of an IaaS platform.
Familiarity with RDMA, InfiniBand, or RoCE networking in GPU or HPC clusters.
Experience working distributed across time zones with counterparts in other regions.
Exposure to serverless or inference serving infrastructure.

We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds.
About The Role
As a Technical Program Manager for GPU and Data Center Deployments, you will own end-to-end program delivery for bringing data center infrastructure and AI clusters online. You will operate in a highly ambiguous environment, coordinating across construction, infrastructure, networking, systems engineering, procurement, and operations — driving execution from planning through operational handoff.
This is an ownership role. You will be expected to move programs forward with incomplete information, surface and resolve gaps before they become blockers, and hold multiple workstreams accountable across time zones and organizational boundaries. The best candidates bring deep experience at the intersection of data center construction handover and AI/GPU hardware deployment. You know how construction sequences impact infrastructure readiness, how ICT and CDU work intersect, and how to drive multi-threaded bring-up programs spanning hardware, networking, power, and cooling.
What You'll Do
Program Delivery & Execution
Own end-to-end delivery of GPU cluster activations and data center infrastructure programs, from initial strategic planning through operational handoff.
Drive multi-threaded bring-up programs spanning hardware, networking, power, and cooling — owning plans, dependencies, and critical paths.
Coordinate cross-functional teams responsible for construction, infrastructure, network, hardware, ICT, commissioning, and operations, including vendor and contractor partners.
Anticipate downstream impacts of technical sequencing decisions on capacity, schedule, and cluster performance; identify and resolve blockers before they surface.
Manage and hold accountable vendors, integration contractors, and third-party service providers across the full deployment lifecycle.
Partner with engineering to improve cluster turn-up reliability, repeatability, and automation — reducing time-to-serve for new capacity.
Support network operations and end-to-end physical and logical bring-up, including on-site deployment, rack cabling, and coordination with engineering teams.
Maintain momentum through changing requirements, tight timelines, and cross-time-zone execution.
Stakeholder & Executive Communication
Influence senior executive and c-suite strategic approaches.
Deliver crisp executive-level program status briefings covering schedule health, risks, key decisions, and escalation paths across a broad portfolio of concurrent programs.
Translate complex technical requirements — from highly detailed customer RFPs, integration specs, and architecture documents — into actionable plans for engineering, finance, and marketing stakeholders.
Serve as the primary cross-functional point of contact between engineering, operations, customers, and leadership; code-switch fluently between deeply technical and business-facing audiences.
Interface with chip and hardware providers to derisk onboarding to new platforms across compute, networking, and cooling stacks.
Facilitate alignment across stakeholders at all levels — from network engineers to C-suite — with confidence, clarity, and no ego.
Program Infrastructure & Process
Build and operationalize program mechanisms — roadmaps, milestones, risk registers, RACI matrices, decision logs, and deployment runbooks — that make delivery predictable at scale.
Establish and maintain a single source of truth for all active programs using tools such as Smartsheet, Confluence, Jira, and Notion.
Identify bottlenecks and systemic gaps, then drive durable fixes across tooling, process, and partner interfaces.
Develop scalable playbooks and governance frameworks that create accountability without creating overhead as Volta's deployment footprint grows rapidly.
Champion automation and digital workflows to eliminate manual effort across the program lifecycle.
What You'll Bring
Required
5+ years of experience delivering complex data center physical infrastructure programs or large-scale GPU/AI cluster deployments in fast-moving environments.
Demonstrated experience bridging construction handover and cluster deployment — candidates who are network-only or construction-only will not be a fit.
Hands-on GPU deployment experience, including:
GPU cluster deployment and activation (NVIDIA infrastructure preferred)
Full-stack secure AI factory deployment across compute, networking, storage, and security layers
Ability to read, interpret, and operationalize highly technical customer and vendor specifications
Strong understanding of AI/GPU infrastructure including power density, cooling (CDU/DLC), networking, and deployment sequencing.
Familiarity with how construction, low-voltage, and commissioning activities affect deployment readiness and sequencing.
Proven ability to lead through influence — you don't own the execution teams, but you are accountable for delivery outcomes.
Proven ability to manage vendor and contractor relationships, including understanding schedule and reputational risks.
Ability to develop and present executive-level program status, risk summaries, and key decisions to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
Excellent communication and stakeholder alignment skills — able to ensure teams at all levels understand priorities and dependencies.
Relentlessly resourceful: you thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and drive execution beyond your defined scope without being directed to do so.
Startup or scale-up experience alongside enterprise pedigree is strongly preferred — candidates who have operated at both ends of that spectrum understand the range of environments this role will demand.
Preferred
Degree in a hard science, engineering, or a demonstrated track record of technical depth in comparable work.
Experience delivering programs across multiple concurrent sites or regions, including EMEA, with staggered milestones.
Experience managing long-lead procurement processes and hardware supply chain constraints that affect deployment timelines.
Background at a Fortune 100 infrastructure company (NVIDIA, Intel, Dell, Cisco, Verizon, AT&T) combined with startup or scale-up experience.
Experience managing BPO or contract labor pools during large-scale hardware deployment phases.
Automation-first mindset with experience identifying and implementing process improvements at scale.
DCD, PMP, CDCPM, CDCMP, CDCP, or comparable certification(s).
Who You Are
You have operated in highly ambiguous, fast-moving environments and know how to prioritize ruthlessly without losing sight of the long-term picture.
You have startup instincts — you fill gaps, take initiative, and drive execution beyond your defined scope before anyone asks you to.
You have enough confidence to hold the room and none of the ego that slows the work down.
You are not a 9-to-5 operator. Global infrastructure programs run across time zones — you know how to chase the sun.
You have built the business case, secured buy-in from technical stakeholders, and presented to executive decision-makers who pushed back hard.
You bring a strong execution mindset with the ability to balance speed, quality, and risk — and you make decisions with data, not assumptions.
You are interested in and thoughtful about the impact of AI infrastructure on the world.

Changing that belief is a writing and storytelling problem before it’s a distribution problem: we publish a small number of genuinely authoritative pieces a year rather than running a high-volume content mill, and this role is the person who writes and shapes most of it, then carries it everywhere it needs to go – LinkedIn, our blog, press, and community.
You’ll report to our Director of Marketing and take over the always-on content and social cadence he currently runs solo – with real ownership over what gets written, not just how it gets distributed. This is a high-visibility role for someone who wants to shape the public identity of a fast-scaling AI infrastructure company.
What You Will Be Doing
Content & Storytelling – the core of the role
· Write and ghostwrite the majority of Volta’s public content – LinkedIn posts, blog pieces, and thought leadership – in the voice of our CEO, CPO, and other executives, not just your own.
· Own the blog and content calendar end to end, including our flagship long-form pieces and ongoing category-education content.
· Build a repeatable content production pipeline – briefs, drafts, review cycles, approvals – so a strong publishing cadence doesn’t depend on any one person.
· Maintain a consistent brand voice and visual identity across everything we publish.
Social & Community
· Own the always-on LinkedIn cadence across the company page and every executive profile, on a defined publishing rhythm.
· Define and build out our community strategy – developer, customer, or broader brand community – in direct partnership with leadership.
· Track share of voice against other players in the AI infrastructure space.
· Track and report on social and community engagement metrics, refining strategy based on performance.
Press & Brand
· Manage day-to-day press relationships, coordinating with our PR agency to help pitch and place stories.
· Own the analyst and industry-influencer engagement calendar.
· Partner with leadership to prepare talking points, statements, and messaging for planned public moments and announcements.
· Lead rapid-response triage for anything that surfaces in social or press that needs a same-day read from leadership – the reactive counterpart to the planned messaging prep above.
What You Bring
· 5+ years in B2B tech comms, social, or content marketing – ideally with real executive ghostwriting experience, not just managing a content calendar.
· A strong personal writing portfolio – this role is judged on the quality of what you write as much as how consistently it ships.
· Demonstrated experience building an always-on content program from scratch, not just executing an existing playbook.
· Experience building and growing an engaged online community from the ground up
· Prior press or analyst relations exposure, ideally in infrastructure, cloud, or deep tech.
· Comfort operating with minimal existing infrastructure in a fast-moving, pre-Series-B environment, and working closely with executive leadership on public-facing messaging
· Track record of using engagement metrics and data to refine content and community strategy
· Highly organized and able to manage multiple channels and priorities simultaneously

About Volta
Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds.
About The Role
The Group Program Manager, Technical Programs, owns the portfolio of technical programs across Volta — leading a team of program managers and giving company leadership a single, reliable view of how major technical initiatives are progressing.
You will set the standards for how programs are run at Volta, resolve competing priorities across the portfolio, and coach the program managers who report to you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Program Delivery & Execution
Own end-to-end delivery of GPU cluster activations and data center infrastructure programs, from initial strategic planning through operational handoff.
Drive multi-threaded bring-up programs spanning hardware, networking, power, and cooling — owning plans, dependencies, and critical paths.
Coordinate cross-functional teams responsible for construction, infrastructure, network, hardware, ICT, commissioning, and operations, including vendor and contractor partners.
Anticipate downstream impacts of technical sequencing decisions on capacity, schedule, and cluster performance; identify and resolve blockers before they surface.
Manage and hold accountable vendors, integration contractors, and third-party service providers across the full deployment lifecycle.
Partner with engineering to improve cluster turn-up reliability, repeatability, and automation — reducing time-to-serve for new capacity.
Support network operations and end-to-end physical and logical bring-up, including on-site deployment, rack cabling, and coordination with engineering teams.
Maintain momentum through changing requirements, tight timelines, and cross-time-zone execution.
Stakeholder & Executive Communication
Influence senior executive and c-suite strategic approaches.
Deliver crisp executive-level program status briefings covering schedule health, risks, key decisions, and escalation paths across a broad portfolio of concurrent programs.
Translate complex technical requirements — from highly detailed customer RFPs, integration specs, and architecture documents — into actionable plans for engineering, finance, and marketing stakeholders.
Serve as the primary cross-functional point of contact between engineering, operations, customers, and leadership; code-switch fluently between deeply technical and business-facing audiences.
Interface with chip and hardware providers to derisk onboarding to new platforms across compute, networking, and cooling stacks.
Facilitate alignment across stakeholders at all levels — from network engineers to C-suite — with confidence, clarity, and no ego.
Program Infrastructure & Process
Build and operationalize program mechanisms — roadmaps, milestones, risk registers, RACI matrices, decision logs, and deployment runbooks — that make delivery predictable at scale.
Establish and maintain a single source of truth for all active programs using tools such as Smartsheet, Confluence, Jira, and Notion.
Identify bottlenecks and systemic gaps, then drive durable fixes across tooling, process, and partner interfaces.
Develop scalable playbooks and governance frameworks that create accountability without creating overhead as Volta's deployment footprint grows rapidly.
Champion automation and digital workflows to eliminate manual effort across the program lifecycle.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
Required
5+ years of experience delivering complex data center physical infrastructure programs or large-scale GPU/AI cluster deployments in fast-moving environments.
Demonstrated experience bridging construction handover and cluster deployment — candidates who are network-only or construction-only will not be a fit.
Hands-on GPU deployment experience, including:
GPU cluster deployment and activation (NVIDIA infrastructure preferred)
Full-stack secure AI factory deployment across compute, networking, storage, and security layers
Ability to read, interpret, and operationalize highly technical customer and vendor specifications
Strong understanding of AI/GPU infrastructure including power density, cooling (CDU/DLC), networking, and deployment sequencing.
Familiarity with how construction, low-voltage, and commissioning activities affect deployment readiness and sequencing.
Proven ability to lead through influence — you don't own the execution teams, but you are accountable for delivery outcomes.
Proven ability to manage vendor and contractor relationships, including understanding schedule and reputational risks.
Ability to develop and present executive-level program status, risk summaries, and key decisions to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
Excellent communication and stakeholder alignment skills — able to ensure teams at all levels understand priorities and dependencies.
Relentlessly resourceful: you thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and drive execution beyond your defined scope without being directed to do so.
Startup or scale-up experience alongside enterprise pedigree is strongly preferred — candidates who have operated at both ends of that spectrum understand the range of environments this role will demand.
Preferred
Degree in a hard science, engineering, or a demonstrated track record of technical depth in comparable work.
Experience delivering programs across multiple concurrent sites or regions, including EMEA, with staggered milestones.
Experience managing long-lead procurement processes and hardware supply chain constraints that affect deployment timelines.
Background at a Fortune 100 infrastructure company (NVIDIA, Intel, Dell, Cisco, Verizon, AT&T) combined with startup or scale-up experience.
Experience managing BPO or contract labor pools during large-scale hardware deployment phases.
Automation-first mindset with experience identifying and implementing process improvements at scale.
DCD, PMP, CDCPM, CDCMP, CDCP, or comparable certification(s).
WHO YOU ARE
You have operated in highly ambiguous, fast-moving environments and know how to prioritize ruthlessly without losing sight of the long-term picture.
You have startup instincts — you fill gaps, take initiative, and drive execution beyond your defined scope before anyone asks you to.
You have enough confidence to hold the room and none of the ego that slows the work down.
You are not a 9-to-5 operator. Global infrastructure programs run across time zones — you know how to chase the sun.
You have built the business case, secured buy-in from technical stakeholders, and presented to executive decision-makers who pushed back hard.
You bring a strong execution mindset with the ability to balance speed, quality, and risk — and you make decisions with data, not assumptions.
You are interested in and thoughtful about the impact of AI infrastructure on the world.
