Firmus Technologies
Firmus Technologies is a global leader pioneering the development and operation of efficient AI infrastructure across Asia Pacific.
Founded in Australia in 2019, our mission is to create the most efficient AI infrastructure by combining cutting-edge technology with a steadfast commitment to sustainability.
At Firmus, we are unique in our approach. We design, build, and operate a new class of digital infrastructure – the AI Factory. Through our model-to-grid technology approach, we have pushed the boundaries of multi-generational liquid cooling systems, energy management, AI software orchestration, and construction. For our customers, this approach allows us to make every watt count and deliver low-cost AI tokens globally.
Firmus AI Cloud
Our large-scale GPU cloud platform, Firmus AI Cloud, is purpose-built to deliver energy-efficient AI compute at scale to customers.
It empowers developers, enterprises, educational institutions, and government users to train and deploy AI models with unmatched efficiency and cost savings. With an ever-growing suite of services and applications, we are committed to delivering a cloud experience that is market-leading, proprietary, and built to scale.
Why Firmus?
As an NVIDIA Cloud and Engineering partner in Asia Pacific, you will gain skills, experience, and exposure across the AI industry and be part of shaping what this industry looks like for decades to come.
We are founder-led, not a big corporate. Decisions happen fast, our leaders are accessible, and there's minimum bureaucracy between you and the work. Ownership comes early. Whatever your role, you will have a direct line to outcomes, helping shape how the business grows as we scale nationally across a long-term, large-scale roadmap.
Work alongside founders and experts in AI infrastructure, energy systems and next-generation compute.
What we build here has impact beyond the business. Our AI Factories are designed to operate as assets to the energy grid to actively strengthen the communities and regions they operate in rather than drawing from them.
Considering applying? You don't need a perfect background to join our team. If you're driven and curious, there's a path for you. We back our people to grow into new domains and take on challenges beyond their previous experience.
Role Summary
We are seeking a customer-centric Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the end-to-end delivery of complex, large-scale, customer-facing technical projects. You will act as the bridge between engineering, operations, and customer-facing teams (Sales, Customer Success, Solutions Architecture) to ensure technical initiatives are delivered with minimal customer disruption and maximum business value.
You will work closely with major hyper-scalers and frontier model builders, leading end-to-end program delivery. This includes owning customer communications, driving technical and program implementation, ensuring adoption milestones are met, establishing feedback loops, all while managing complex technical dependencies across stakeholders.

Lead weekly syncs internally and externally to align on customer readiness, project milestones , program roadmaps and impact assessments
Drive technical decisions that balance internal velocity with customer impact
Technical Depth for Customer Conversations
Understand system architecture, AI Factory, GPU performance and benchmark, and infrastructure constraints, enough to answer customer questions and validate impact assessments.
Ensure technical solutions meet both customer and business needs
Collaborate with engineering teams to align on architecture and implementation
Cross-Functional Leadership
Orchestrate delivery across engineering, operations and customer-facing teams
Lead regular cadence with leadership to align on project readiness, manage escalations and communication timelines. Drive technical decisions that balance internal velocity with customer impact.

Practical exposure to infrastructure and data-centre delivery, with an understanding of how deployment schedules, readiness milestones, and infrastructure constraints affect software and service delivery.
Experience combining agile, sprint-based software delivery with waterfall-based infrastructure planning to maintain a coherent end-to-end program plan.
Hands-on experience in Jira, translating agreed priorities into actionable backlogs and driving backlog refinement, sprint planning, dependency management, and release coordination, integrated with infrastructure schedules and milestones.
Strong stakeholder management with Sales, Customer Success, Product Management, Operations, Solutions Architecture and Engineering leaders.
Comfort operating in high-ambiguity environments where program structures often need to be created, not just followed
Proven track record delivering customer-facing technical programs such as:
Software platform launches
Enterprise feature rollouts with customer-specific configurations
Cloud migration programs for enterprise customers
Large-scale GPU Infrastructure project
