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. **What you will be doing:** - Define product vision and strategy for inference platform capabilities , including APIs, capacity management, cost management, performance and optimization, and model serving infrastructure. - Translate user needs and infrastructure constraints into clear requirements and prioritized roadmaps. - Partner closely with engineering, research, and user groups teams to drive execution from concept through launch. - Be responsible for end-to-end product lifecycle for inference-related products and platform investments. - Develop deep understanding of the inference ecosystem , model formats, serving frameworks, API formats, and the tradeoffs that matter at scale. - Drive clarity in ambiguous situations by framing the problem, identifying what is known and unknown, and proposing a path forward. - Represent the voice of the user and ensure product decisions are grounded in real needs, not assumptions. - Track and synthesise developments across the inference landscape: open source model releases, serving frameworks, competitive dynamics, and emerging use cases. **What we need to see:** - 12+ years of experience with a track record of delivering complex technical products. - Bachelors degree or higher, or equivalent experience. - Strong written and verbal communication, you are able to write clear, concise product documents, specs, and strategies. - Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and make progress without a full playbook. - Analytical professional who can break down complex problems, identify the right questions, and drive toward decisions. - Strong user empathy , able to synthesise qualitative and quantitative signals into a coherent picture of what users need and why. - Deep 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. - Experience with inference APIs- design, versioning, performance, hardware efficiency, and developer experience. - Familiarity with open source as well as commercial model ecosystems and the different considerations each brings to a serving platform. **Ways to stand out from the crowd:** - Experience with sophisticated inference techniques: disaggregated prefill/decode, KV cache management, speculative decoding, or continuous batching. - Background in large scale systems and developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, or MLOps tooling. - Exposure to capacity planning, quota management, or resource scheduling in large-scale compute environments. You 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. Your 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. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits. ## Skills ### Required - AI/ML systems - inference serving frameworks - TensorRT-LLM - vLLM - Triton Inference Server - inference APIs - model serving infrastructure - capacity management - cost management - performance optimization ### Nice to have - sophisticated inference techniques - disaggregated prefill/decode - KV cache management - speculative decoding - continuous batching - large scale systems - developer platforms - cloud infrastructure - MLOps tooling - capacity planning - quota management - resource scheduling --- Source: [Apply at nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com](https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/job/US-CA-Santa-Clara/Senior-Product-Manager--Inference-Platform_JR2026358?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
