We exist to unlock human potential.
Too often, AI drains it—drains budgets, drains energy resources, drains ownership of data. OpenTeams was founded to change that. We build AI that empowers. Our models are energy-efficient, cost-effective, and fully yours.
Our ethos is open source. That means freedom, trust, and accountability are built into every line of code. We reinvest 3% of our profits back into the open-source community, because we believe tech is most powerful when it serves everyone.
At our core, we value freedom, teamwork, accountability, and uncompromising quality. If you want to fight Goliath, and shape tools that set people free, OpenTeams is the place to do it.
Location: U.S. Remote (Central Time Zone preferred)
Company: OpenTeams – Leading Open-Source AI Solutions Provider
Reports to: Head of Project Success
As we scale rapidly, OpenTeams is seeking a Technical Manager - AI/ML to support initiatives with major technology companies developing and advancing core deep learning frameworks and compilers.
This role is not about traditional project management or orchestration—it’s about being a technical collaborator. You’ll work alongside OpenTeams engineers (who are contributing directly to frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, and TensorFlow), as well as client engineers and account leaders. Your focus will be to understand the design-level concepts, help capture requirements, and ensure alignment between technical execution and client needs.
Think of it as bridging the gap between “the people designing the building” and “the people building it.” You won’t be directing from the outside—you’ll be partnering closely with the builders, helping to interpret, translate, and structure work so that both technical and business stakeholders stay aligned.
Responsibilities- Collaborate with engineers, clients, and account managers to understand technical goals and proactively address project needs.
- Participate in technical discussions with engineers and capture high-level requirements, risks, and tradeoffs.
Provide structure and clarity: help teams maintain shared awareness of plans, priorities, and status. - Build and maintain trust-based relationships with key client stakeholders at multiple organizational levels.
- Ensure alignment between technical deliverables and client objectives.
- Surface risks, challenges, and opportunities for expansion, renewal, or deeper collaboration.
- Proven experience partnering with technical teams in a highly technical, customer-facing environment (e.g., project manager, technical lead, consultant, or equivalent).
- Strong foundational understanding of machine learning and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX) with the ability to follow technical discussions and capture requirements.
- Experience supporting Fortune 50 or enterprise-level clients is a plus.
- Curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to quickly get up to speed on new technical concepts.
At OpenTeams, growth isn’t just about the company—it’s about you.
We believe the best careers are built at the edge of your potential. That is where new tools, ideas, and technologies change the world. Here, you’ll work alongside pioneers of AI, solving problems that matter: making AI more transparent, more ethical, and more empowering.
Opportunities aren’t limited by geography. You’ll collaborate with global experts, contribute to open source projects that power the world’s technology, and stretch your skills daily.
We invest in curiosity, creativity, and ownership. That means you’ll be trusted to take big swings, supported to learn fast, and celebrated for bold thinking.
