Principal Product Manager - Nvidia Technology Partnerships

Role description

Role Overview

As a product manager on the Foundational Infrastructure team, you will stay current on where NVIDIA's hardware and software roadmap is heading and decide what Lambda should do about it. You will make that call with the evidence behind it, then route what we do take on to the product and engineering owners who will carry it.

What You Will Do

Track the Roadmap: Stay far enough ahead of where NVIDIA's hardware and software is going that Lambda can plan against it rather than react to it. Decide What Lambda Takes From NVIDIA: Call which of their new hardware and software Lambda should productize into On-Demand GPU Instances, 1-Click Clusters, and private cloud deployments, and which to pass on, with the reasoning written down.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Great product managers at Lambda are defined by three things: insight, influence, and execution. Insight means you look at the data, determine what it means for customers and business, and then figure out what to do about it. But, a great idea doesn't mean anything in a vacuum. That is where influence comes in. Influence means you take that idea and get others to want to buy into it; you win over engineers, designers, executives, and partners without relying on authority.

Requirements

• 10+ years of product management experience, including time at a cloud provider, systems company, or silicon vendor.
• Have owned a strategic technology partnership where two companies built things together rather than only bought and sold.
• Can read a silicon and systems roadmap and judge what it means for a cloud business, including what is worth adopting and what is not.
• Understand GPU platforms well enough to hold a real technical conversation with the people who design them.
• Have made adoption decisions with meaningful capital and engineering cost behind them, and can explain the ones you got wrong.
• Can say no to a powerful counterpart and keep the relationship.
• Able to define iterative plans that move an organization from the current state towards the desired outcome.
• Communicate plainly, write well, and make decisions easier for people who do not all share the same context.

Benefits

• Generous cash & equity compensation
• Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
• Wellness and commuter stipends for select roles
• 401k Plan with 2% company match (USA employees)
• Flexible paid time off plan that we all actually use
