Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.\nIf you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.\n*Note: This position requires presence in our Bellevue or San Francisco office location 4 days per week; Lambda's designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.\nAbout the Role\nEvery product Lambda ships depends on horizontal capabilities: the security and identity surfaces that let enterprise customers trust us, the telemetry and observability that tells us and our customers what the fleet is doing, and the metering and billing that turns per-minute GPU usage and committed cluster contracts into accurate invoices. When the platform layer is coherent, every Lambda product gets stronger at once. That is the leverage of this role.\nYou'll lead Lambda's Platform product group as a player-coach. You'll hire and manage three product managers, one each for Security, Observability, and Billing, all opening now. While you build that team, you'll personally own platform product strategy: the roadmap, the priorities, and the tradeoffs. You'll partner directly with platform engineering leadership. This is a first-line product management manager role, and you'll set the bar your team is measured against.\nGreat 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. But a great idea that everyone is excited about doesn’t matter unless it is delivered to customers. Execution means you work with the right people to get the idea launched, then measure and iterate. We hire product managers who learn new domains fast and reason rigorously from evidence. Deep domain depth in cloud platforms makes you stronger, but insight, influence, and execution are the bar.\nSuccess in this role looks like two things: a platform layer that enterprise customers can trust, and a hired, high-performing product management team that clears the bar you set. If you love building the connective tissue of a cloud, and you want to grow product managers while still doing the work yourself, we'd love to hear from you.\nWe value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills, and we are excited to hear from candidates who can bring unique perspectives to our team. If you do not exactly meet this description but believe you may be a good fit, please still apply and help us understand your readiness for this role.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild the Team: Hire, manage, and develop the Security, Observability, and Billing product managers, and set the standard for insight, influence, and execution across the Platform product group.\n\nOwn the Roadmap: Define and own the platform roadmap end to end across security, observability, and billing, and hold it accountable to customer and business outcomes.\n\nCarry the Strategy Yourself: Personally own platform product strategy while the team is being hired, so the roadmap never waits on headcount.\n\nStrengthen Every Product: Deliver horizontal capabilities that On-Demand GPU Instances, 1-Click Clusters, and the Lambda Cloud API all depend on, rather than one-off features for a single product line.\n\nGet Metering and Billing Right: Own the product surface for usage-based GPU compute billing, from per-minute on-demand billing to committed multi-node cluster contracts, so every invoice is accurate and explainable.\n\nEarn Enterprise Trust: Shape the identity and security surfaces that let enterprise ML (machine learning) teams adopt Lambda with confidence.\n\nPartner with Platform Engineering: Work side by side with platform engineering leadership on sequencing, tradeoffs, and delivery, so strategy and architecture move together.\n\nDecide with Data: Turn fleet telemetry, usage patterns, and customer signal into clear build decisions, and communicate the what, the so what, and the now what to executives and customers.\n\nYou\nHave 10+ years of product management experience, including experience shipping platform or infrastructure products that other teams build on\n\nHave 3+ years hiring and managing product managers, or have formally led product managers as a first-line manager\n\nTurn ambiguous data and customer signal into a clear decision about what to build next, and can show where you've done it\n\nWin engineers, designers, executives, and customers over to your ideas without relying on organizational authority\n\nWork with the right people to get products launched, then measure and iterate rather than moving on\n\nAre comfortable operating as a player-coach, owning strategy directly while building the team that will own it after you\n\nCan go deep with engineering leadership on technical tradeoffs and hold your own in architecture discussions\n\nCommunicate in writing clearly enough that an executive can act on your document without a follow-up meeting\n\nAble to define iterative plans that move an organization from the current state towards the desired outcome\n\nNice to Have\nHave shipped metering, billing, or monetization systems for usage-based products\n\nHave built identity, security, or compliance product surfaces for enterprise customers\n\nHave built telemetry or observability products, or worked deeply with tools like Prometheus and Grafana\n\nHave a background in GPU compute, high performance computing, or AI infrastructure\n\nHave built a product team from zero, including writing the job descriptions and running the hiring loops\n\nSalary Range Information\nThe annual salary range for this position has been set based on market data and other factors. However, a salary higher or lower than this range may be appropriate for a candidate whose qualifications differ meaningfully from those listed in the job description.\nAbout Lambda\nFounded in 2012, with 500+ employees, and growing fast\n\nOur investors notably include TWG Global, US Innovative Technology Fund (USIT), Andra Capital, SGW, Andrej Karpathy, ARK Invest, Fincadia Advisors, G Squared, In-Q-Tel (IQT), KHK & Partners, NVIDIA, Pegatron, Supermicro, Wistron, Wiwynn, Gradient Ventures, Mercato Partners, SVB, 1517, and Crescent Cove\n\nWe have research papers accepted at top machine learning and graphics conferences, including NeurIPS, ICCV, SIGGRAPH, and TOG\n\nOur values are publicly available: https://lambda.ai/careers\n\nWe offer generous cash & equity compensation\n\nHealth, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents\n\nWellness and commuter stipends for select roles\n\n401k Plan with 2% company match (USA employees)\n\nFlexible paid time off plan that we all actually use\n\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nLambda is an Equal Opportunity employer.
