178 jobs for "Platform Engineering Manager Senior"

Are you an Engineering Program Manager who thrives in fast-moving, highly dynamic environments where priorities evolve quickly and the path forward is not always obvious? Do you excel at bringing clarity, alignment, and momentum to complex, high-stakes programs spanning global and regional teams?

Join our Infrastructure Operations organization as the dedicated Senior EPM for China. As our infrastructure programs reach critical milestones and our regional footprint continues to grow, you will provide a single, trusted point of program leadership across a highly matrixed ecosystem of engineering teams, security functions, business partners, and third-party providers. In addition to connecting global initiatives with regional execution, you will drive a growing portfolio of China-specific infrastructure programs shaped by the unique technical, operational, business, and regulatory needs of the region.
In this role, you will be the connective force between our China and US teams; driving complex programs from strategy through execution, navigating dependencies across time zones, languages, and organizational boundaries, and ensuring teams stay aligned, informed, and ahead of emerging risks.

Description
We are looking for an exceptional Engineering Program Manager to lead end-to-end execution across a complex, multi-team infrastructure portfolio in China.

Establish clear ownership, operating cadences, and consistent reporting to keep global and local teams aligned.
Serve as the primary liaison across engineering, regional business teams, vendors, and local partners, driving decisions, resolving conflicts, and removing blockers.
Own program plans, dependencies, critical paths, risks, KPIs, and executive-level reporting across the portfolio.
Drive alignment across the full technical lifecycle, from infrastructure provisioning and application development through deployment, handoff, and ongoing operations.
Partner closely with US stakeholders and China-based engineering teams to connect infrastructure and application workstreams and identify gaps early.
Lead complex migrations and deployments with phased rollout strategies, contingency plans, and strong change and scope management.
Proactively ensure technical handoffs are complete and dependencies are addressed before they become delivery risks.
Communicate complex technical programs clearly and effectively across both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications
10+ years of Technical Program Management experience leading complex, large-scale infrastructure, AI/ML, or data platform programs.
Experience driving programs across third-party cloud providers, regional partners, and security, privacy, or compliance requirements.
Strong understanding of AI/ML infrastructure and platforms, including training pipelines, data pipelines, workload scheduling, security controls, and CI/CD systems.
Proven ability to establish the program discipline needed to run complex initiatives at scale, including dependency management, critical paths, KPIs, dashboards, risk management, and change control.
Demonstrated success leading large-scale infrastructure or platform migrations from strategy and planning through execution, cutover, and operational handoff.
Strong technical and infrastructure foundation, with prior hands-on engineering experience highly valued.
Working knowledge of China-specific regulatory and government requirements affecting technology infrastructure, cloud services, and data operations.
Proven ability to align and drive globally distributed, cross-functional teams across organizations, cultures, and time zones.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment and presence to serve as a trusted escalation point across engineering teams, business stakeholders, and external partners.
BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Minimum Qualifications
Must be based in China and be a native Mandarin Chinese speaker, with fluency in English and the ability to operate seamlessly across both languages in day-to-day communication, negotiation, and executive reporting.
5+ years of Technical Program or Project Management experience in a fast-paced, global infrastructure, cloud, or AI/ML environment.
Proven ability to bring structure and clarity to ambiguous, rapidly evolving, multi-team programs without introducing unnecessary process.
Highly self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable operating independently with minimal oversight.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to quickly triage priorities, navigate tradeoffs, and drive cross-functional execution under tight timelines.
Deep understanding of operating in China, including local business practices, cultural nuances, and regulatory requirements that may impact delivery of business-critical programs.
Demonstrated ability to bridge global strategy with local China execution across cultural, organizational, and time-zone boundaries.
