We are democratizing and decentralizing AI computing-reshaping our future for the benefit of humanity.\nWe are a growing and highly motivated team dedicated to an ambitious technical plan. Our structure is flat, our ambitions are out-sized, and leadership is earned by shipping excellence.\nAbout the Role\nVast.ai is seeking a Technical Product Manager to drive the backend our GPU cloud marketplace runs on. This is the software behind every live GPU rental (over 700k transactions a month): the daemon on every host's machines, the orchestration that powers each instance, and the infrastructure and test systems that let us ship it all at high velocity.\nThe Scale: With over 20k GPUs, our AI cloud platform powers thousands of bleeding-edge training runs and critical production workloads for 120k+ developers all over the planet. This is a product with real scale, real data, and real users from day one. The work you ship moves tangible revenue in weeks, not quarters.\nThe Challenge: We don't own the GPUs. Thousands of independent hosts price and operate them, and no two machines are alike. Your job is to make that heterogeneous, decentralized supply behave like the top-tier cloud our customers expect: fast, secure, and reliable.\nWhat You'll Own\nYou'll drive the infrastructure, security, and reliability roadmap: sequencing competing priorities, turning non-functional requirements into specs engineering can build, and seeing them through until they ship. You'll own the metrics that prove it worked: platform uptime, fleet reliability, cost-to-serve. Initial focus areas:\nScalability & performance. Keep the core systems fast and ahead of demand as the marketplace grows, from database performance to end-to-end latency.\n\nSecurity, trust & compliance. Harden the platform against attacks and abuse, and build the compliance roadmap enterprise customers need.\n\nObservability & infra tooling. Give every engineer a clear view of platform health, and every host a clear view of their fleet. Own the metrics, tracing, and tooling behind it.\n\nIdeal Experience\n3+ years as a backend engineer AND 3+ years in product management\n\nHands-on experience with several of: security, scalability, reliability at scale, infrastructure tooling, distributed systems, observability, abuse/fraud prevention, compliance\n\nIndustry experience in one or more of the following areas: software infrastructure, developer tooling (APIs, SDKs, CLIs), AI/ML, cloud computing, GPUs, or two-sided marketplaces\n\nExperience at a fast-paced startup or rapid-growth team\n\nYou Are\nAI-native. You work with AI agents every day, and you want to build the compute layer the AI era runs on.\n\nDeeply technical. You came up as an engineer, and you reason about scalability, security, and efficiency as product concerns, not afterthoughts.\n\nPersuasive across the stack. You can make a technical tradeoff legible to c-suite and a thankless migration compelling to the team doing it.\n\nBiased toward action. You'd rather ship the fix today than present the plan next week.\n\nTech Stack\nPython, C++, SQL/PostgreSQL, Redis, Linux, Docker, AWS, Terraform, REST APIs, LLMs/AI agents\nInterview Process\nInitial screening (virtual)\n\nDeep dive on the role and your experience (virtual)\n\nLive product and technical assessment (virtual)\n\nIn person panel interview + product and technical assessment (on-site)\n\nAnnual Salary Range\n$170,000-$240,000 base depending on experience, plus equity. We're profitable, venture-backed, and growing, so the equity is a stake in a real company with a real valuation, not a lottery ticket.\nBenefits\nComprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance\n\n401(k) with company match\n\nMeaningful early-stage equity\n\nOnsite meals, snacks, and close collaboration with founders/tech leaders\n\nAmbitious, fast-paced startup culture where initiative is rewarded\n\nAmple AI agent budget\n\nLOCATION: On-site at our office in Los Angeles (Westwood).","description_format":"text","description_chars":4006,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Platforms (IaaS & PaaS)","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-20T16:39:40Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.321,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":87,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":240000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vast-technical-product-manager-infrastructure","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vast-technical-product-manager-infrastructure.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T00:45:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1016,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":26005},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=26005"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvast-technical-product-manager-infrastructure"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fvast-technical-product-manager-infrastructure"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fvast-technical-product-manager-infrastructure"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/vast-technical-product-manager-infrastructure\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvast-technical-product-manager-infrastructure"}]}
