What You'll Be Working On
Own Major Orchestration Product Areas
- Take end-to-end ownership of substantial product surfaces, including their roadmap, outcomes, priorities, quality, and continued improvement.
Develop Durable Technical Product Designs
- Turn complex infrastructure problems into clear requirements and coherent system behavior, including APIs, lifecycle states, failure handling, upgrades, and customer controls.
Partner Closely With Engineering
- Work directly with engineers throughout discovery, design, implementation, and validation to resolve ambiguity and shape high-quality solutions.
Establish a High Product-Quality Bar
- Pressure-test designs, evaluate working software, examine edge cases and failure modes, and ensure the product is ready before broad customer release.
Understand Customers and Operators
- Work with customers and internal teams to identify underlying problems and translate them into broadly useful, technically sound product improvements.
Make Disciplined Product Investments
- Prioritize work based on customer value, reliability, differentiation, engineering cost, and operational burden, then measure whether those investments delivered the intended results.
Coordinate Across the Cloud Platform
- Establish clear interfaces and responsibilities across infrastructure, networking, storage, identity, observability, capacity, and workload teams.
Communicate Clearly
- Produce precise requirements and decision documents, and explain technical trade-offs and business implications to diverse stakeholders.
What You'll Bring to the Team
- AI and Machine Learning Infrastructure: Understand how training, fine-tuning, inference, checkpointing, and GPU-intensive workloads interact with orchestration systems.
- Strong Technical Fluency: Significant experience with Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, workload orchestration, or related technologies.
- Technical Product Management Experience: Five or more years of experience owning complex technical products or infrastructure initiatives from definition through delivery and iteration.
- Systems Thinking and Attention to Detail: Ability to reason through APIs, lifecycle states, failure modes, upgrades, operational workflows, and dependencies across distributed systems.
- Strong Product Judgment: Ability to balance customer value, reliability, engineering cost, operational complexity, and long-term maintainability when making product decisions.
- Ownership and Execution: Track record of independently driving ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives to clear decisions and high-quality outcomes.
- Clear Communication and Collaboration: Ability to work closely with engineers, document decisions precisely, and create alignment across technical and nontechnical teams.
Bonus Points
- High-Performance Computing experience with HPC environments, Slurm or similar workload managers, specialized networking, or large accelerator clusters.
- Infrastructure Operations: operated or supported production infrastructure and understand impact of product decisions on reliability, upgrades, debugging, and incident response.
- Builder Orientation: enjoy using infrastructure products directly, examining APIs, and experimenting with systems to develop grounded product opinions.
