Senior Technical Program Manager, Productivity Engineering (Data Platform · AI Transformation)

Pleasanton, California, USA HQ

About the Role

10x Genomics is rewriting the rules of biological discovery — and our platform needs to move as fast as our science. We are building a modern, AI-first technology stack, and this role sits at the center of it.

We are looking for a Senior TPM who thrives in ambiguity, builds the plan rather than inherits one, and understands that data programs are not just delivery work — they are the foundation that makes AI possible. You will own the roadmap across our AI / Data Platform and integration programs, and you will expand your scope as the org scales.

You have operated in environments where the process did not exist yet — and you built it. You do not wait for a fully-defined charter. You are energized by a flat org, a direct reporting line to leadership, and the expectation that you own outcomes end-to-end.

What You Will Own

Program Ownership & Delivery

  •   Own and drive the roadmap across AI / Data Platform and Finance integration programs; expand scope as the business grows.
  •   Take programs from zero to shipped — scoping, sequencing, dependency management, risk visibility, and retrospective.
  •   Translate ambiguous business problems into structured, time-bound programs with clear milestones and decision points.
  •   Run delivery end-to-end without needing a playbook handed to you. You write the playbook.
  •   Hold engineering, product, and business teams accountable to commitments — without relying on hierarchy to do it.

AI-First Thinking

  •   Understand how Data Platform programs create upstream capability for AI and ML — design with that lens from day one.
  •   Own AI-specific program tracks: NLQ rollout, Bedrock integrations, model deployment pipelines, and data readiness for AI.
  •   Partner with Data Engineering, Product, and Science teams to ensure programs are not just delivered but compound into AI readiness.
  •   Push teams to think end-to-end: what does this program unlock downstream, and are we building toward that?
  •   Represent the AI program portfolio to senior leadership with clarity on status, risks, and strategic trajectory.

Finance & Application Integrations

  •   Own delivery of modernized integration programs — ensuring cross-application flows (ERP, CRM, supply chain) work reliably on a modern tech stack.
  •   Drive the retirement of fragile legacy middleware and the adoption of event-driven, scalable integration patterns.
  •   Partner with Finance, Operations, and Engineering to translate business process requirements into well-architected integration programs.
  •   Ensure tax, order management, procurement, and revenue-impacting workflows have zero-tolerance reliability standards.
  •   Define the integration roadmap in partnership with architects and engineering leads — own it, defend it, and ship it.

Leadership & Communication

  •   Operate effectively in a flat org: influence without hierarchy, build alignment without bureaucracy.
  •   Be the connective tissue across Engineering, Product, Finance, and Operations — translate technical complexity into business impact.
  •   Identify cross-program risks before they become incidents. Escalate with a proposed solution, not just a flag.

Minimum Requirements

  •   5 years of TPM experience with demonstrated ownership of complex, multi-stakeholder programs.
  •   Meaningful time at a mid-stage startup (Series A–D), or equivalent experience as a founder or early employee — you know what it means to build without a safety net.
  •   Hands-on delivery across data infrastructure or data platform programs: pipelines, warehousing, ELT, real-time data flows.
  •   Fluency in modern integration patterns — you can hold a substantive conversation with engineers about event-driven architecture, API design, and middleware retirement without needing a glossary.
  •   Proven ability to build the roadmap, not inherit one. You have done this before and have the scars to show it.
  •   Strong written and verbal communication — you can write a crisp exec update and a detailed program brief and know when each is appropriate.

Preferred Skills and Experience

  •   Experience driving AI or ML programs: NLQ, model deployment pipelines, feature stores, or GenAI product integrations.
  •   Familiarity with the 10x stack or equivalent: Snowflake, Airflow, Kafka, dbt, AWS, Oracle Fusion.
  •   Background in life sciences, genomics, or regulated data environments.
  •   Worked cross-functionally across Engineering, Product, Finance, and Operations simultaneously — not sequentially.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
