Amit Mahajan — Technical Program Manager

I lead LinkedIn's Infrastructure Technical Program Management(TPM) function in Bangalore — a team of 5 TPMs driving programs across a 300+ engineer organisation that keeps linkedin.com running for over 1 billion members. My work sits at the intersection of technical depth and organisational scale. I partner with 5 Engineering Directors across Core, Data, Reliability, and AI Infrastructure to turn complex, multi-quarter engineering initiatives into delivered outcomes. What I focus on: ▸ Observability at scale — Spearheaded LinkedIn's MELT (Metrics, Events, Logs, Traces) program, building end-to-end visibility across the infrastructure stack. Drove OS upgrade and infra modernisation programs improving platform health and compliance across the org. ▸ Core & Cloud Infrastructure — Programs spanning Kubernetes compute, IaC, rate limiting, quota systems, schema & prompt registries — the foundational layer LinkedIn's products are built on. ▸ Data Infrastructure — Stream processing (Kafka), batch ingestion, data lake, Spark and Airflow pipelines that power data products across engineering. ▸ AI Infrastructure — Leading retrieval and semantic search programs on CPU and GPU, enabling LinkedIn's AI/ML surface at scale. Before LinkedIn, I spent a decade in investment banking and enterprise technology — working across Japan, Europe, and the US — building the cross-cultural, cross-functional instincts that make large programs land. I care deeply about people growth. I coach my TPMs on technical strategy, stakeholder influence, and career development — because the best programs are delivered by teams who feel ownership, not just accountability.

Mentor and Coach

Jun 2021 – Jul 2024 · 3 yrs 1 mo · Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India · Remote

I mentor students from low-income backgrounds who do not personally know educated, professional adults, who would take the time to speak with them and guide them.
I do two conversations per month with a group of mentees to motivate them and move them along on their personally chosen path and to help them graduate from FEA.
