Perplexity is hiring a technical program manager to act as the link between model providers, engineering, and product while scaling its inference platform, which serves Ask, Computer, and API traffic. The work covers the platform roadmap — request handling, rate limits and quotas, usage controls, reliability, and observability — plus coordinating onboarding, launch readiness, and rollout of new models and capacity, and reporting latency, throughput, uptime, and cost as execution metrics. The posting asks for 6+ years in technical or product program management, direct production LLM or ML inference experience, and comfort coordinating external partners and internal teams on competing timelines. It notes the function has little precedent.
