As a Product Manager for Inference Platform, you will help define and drive the products and platform capabilities that enable large-scale models serving across a broad portfolio of models, both open source and proprietary. You will work at the intersection of AI research, infrastructure engineering, and real user needs, shaping how inference is delivered reliably, efficiently, and at scale.\nThis is high-impact role. You will be expected to bring structure to undefined problem spaces, make progress without complete information, and build conviction through deep engagement with users, engineers, and the broader ecosystem of AI Cloud partners. The right candidate is equally comfortable discussing model serving architecture, token economics and writing a clear product brief.\nWhat you will be doing:\nDefine product vision and strategy for inference platform capabilities - including APIs, capacity management, cost management, performance and optimization, and model serving infrastructure.\nTranslate user needs and infrastructure constraints into clear requirements and prioritized roadmaps.\nPartner closely with engineering, research, and user groups teams to drive execution from concept through launch.\nBe responsible for end-to-end product lifecycle for inference-related products and platform investments.\nDevelop deep understanding of the inference ecosystem - model formats, serving frameworks, API formats, and the tradeoffs that matter at scale.\nDrive clarity in ambiguous situations by framing the problem, identifying what is known and unknown, and proposing a path forward.\nRepresent the voice of the user and ensure product decisions are grounded in real needs, not assumptions.\nTrack and synthesize developments across the inference landscape: open source model releases, serving frameworks, competitive dynamics, and emerging use cases.\nWhat we need to see :\n12+ years of experience with a track record of delivering complex technical products.\nBachelors degree or higher, or equivalent experience \nStrong written and verbal communication, you are able to write clear, concise product documents, specs, and strategies.\nAbility to operate in ambiguous, fast paced environments and make progress without a full playbook.\nAnalytical professional who can break down complex problems, identify the right questions, and drive toward decisions. \nStrong user empathy - able to synthesize qualitative and quantitative signals into a coherent picture of what users need and why.\nDeep familiarity with AI/ML systems and inference serving frameworks (such as TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, or Triton Inference Server), tradeoffs involved, and what matters to model publishers, application developers and cloud operators.\nExperience with inference APIs- design, versioning, performance, hardware efficiency, and developer experience.\nFamiliarity with open source as well as commercial model ecosystems and the different considerations each brings to a serving platform. \nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nExperience with sophisticated inference techniques: disaggregated prefill/decode, KV cache management, speculative decoding, or continuous batching.\nBackground in large scale systems and developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, or MLOps tooling.\nExposure to capacity planning, quota management, or resource scheduling in large-scale compute environments.\nYou thrive in the early stages of building - where the problem is not fully defined, the team is still forming, and the decisions you make will shape direction for years. You don't wait for perfect information. You ask good questions, build conviction incrementally, and create momentum. You can balance user's reality and engineering constraints simultaneously. You bring clarity and cut through noise. You have a genuine curiosity about how inference works. You care about users’ needs beyond trivia, as it improves your product.\nYour base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 208,000 USD - 327,750 USD for Level 5, and 240,000 USD - 379,500 USD for Level 6.\nYou will also be eligible for equity and benefits.\nApplications for this job will be accepted at least until October 2, 2026.This posting is for an existing vacancy.\nNVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.\nNVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
