Chalk is the AI data platform that delivers real-time context and compute infrastructure for agents and ML models — deployed in your cloud, built for speed. Backed by General Catalyst and Felicis.
About the role
We are hiring our first Technical Program Manager to drive execution across Chalk's most important initiatives. Chalk's surface area is growing quickly: the Chalk Context Engine serves features to models and agents in single-digit milliseconds, and Chalk Compute runs models and agents securely inside our customers' own clouds. Every launch spans engineering, product, docs, and go-to-market, and we need someone who keeps all of it moving.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years of experience, including 6+ years of technical program management experience
- Track record of shipping complex, multi-team technical programs from concept to launch
- Strong technical depth: you can follow architecture discussions, pressure-test engineering plans, and understand how data infrastructure and ML systems fit together
- Crisp written and verbal communication: your program proposals, reviews, and decision/tradeoff docs create clarity and get buy-in from engineers and execs alike
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity, you build structure where none exists
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent

About Chalk
Chalk is building the data platform that powers the future of machine learning applications. We tear down complexity, latency, and scale barriers that have traditionally constrained ML capabilities. Our platform combines Rust-speed performance with elegant tools that developers love to use. Leading companies depend on Chalk for everything from stopping fraudulent credit card swipes, verifying identities, and maximizing clean energy capture. We've recently raised a $50 million Series A , led by Felicis.
