Technical Program Manager
Surge AI
Delivers high-quality AI training data
Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.
Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation of AI. Our platform powers the most capable models in the world, in partnership with the AI models you use every day.
At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.
As a Technical Program Manager at Surge, you'll lead initiatives that directly impact our products and our customers. You'll collaborate closely with engineering and operations teams’ to solve our most complex challenges.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in rapidly scaling, high-ambiguity environments. You should be able to seamlessly pivot between daily customer calls, detailed execution in operations and product, and strategic business development conversations.
Establish and expand scalable systems, products, and processes to enhance customer support and value delivery, coordinating with engineering to implement necessary features.
Drive execution of multiple simultaneous, cross-functional projects and/or programs.
Effectively set timelines and manage teams to deadlines.
Interface with a variety of technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Experience in program management or related roles within high-performing product companies, with a proven track record of navigating ambiguity and executing complex projects.
Have strong interpersonal skills that enable you to influence without authority, build cross-organizational support, cooperation and action.
Have a track record for being able to successfully organize, implement and manage complex programs and projects.
Are used to working through trade-offs, balancing competing priorities, and having your mind changed.
Deep interest in AI systems — direct AI/ML experience valued but not required.
Surge AI provides high-quality training and evaluation data for AI models. It creates human-annotated datasets, preference data, and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to help developers of large language models and other machine learning systems improve accuracy, alignment, and real-world performance, especially for advanced generative AI tasks. The company targets the high end of the data labeling market by prioritizing quality, scalability, and the ability to handle complex, model-critical labeling rather than simple commodity annotations. Its goal is to support better-performing, safer, and more reliable AI systems by delivering data that directly feeds model training and evaluation.
