From the PyTorch Lightning creators. Own your AI, don. Backed by Index.
About the role
We're building an AI-native company, which means the way we hire, grow, and support our people has to move as fast as our product. We're looking for a Senior People Partner to embed with our engineering and technical leadership, a strategic thinker who makes org design, talent decisions, and complex people moments feel clear instead of chaotic.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years in People Partnering or HRBP roles, with real depth partnering directly with engineering or technical orgs
- A track record of influencing senior technical leaders on org design, performance, and talent decisions
- Sharp employee relations judgment and a demonstrated ability to own and resolve high-stakes, complex situations
- Experience driving comp, promotion, and leveling decisions in technical environments
- Experience supporting globally distributed technical teams and navigating multi-country complexity
- A builder's instinct for ambiguity, comfortable moving fast while creating practical structure and clarity
More about this role
Lightning AI is the company behind PyTorch Lightning. Founded in 2019, we build an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems—designed to take ideas from research to production with less friction.
Through our merger with Voltage Park, a neocloud and AI Factory, Lightning AI combines developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute. Teams get the tools they need for experimentation, training, and production inference, with security, observability, and control built in.
We serve solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises. Lightning AI operates globally with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, and is backed by Coatue, Index Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, and Firstminute.
The people who thrive here are builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and our company. Here's what that looks like in practice:
- Move with Urgency: We move quickly, make thoughtful decisions, and keep momentum. We value action over perfection and learn by shipping.
- Take Ownership: We own outcomes, not just our individual work. We make decisions that move the company...
