About Us
Surge is on a mission to build the human infrastructure powering the next generation of AI.

What We’re Looking for
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.
