What You'll Be Doing

• Develop and maintain deep technical expertise in MLOps, serve as the trusted technical advisor for ISVs and startups building in that space.

• Understand partner workloads and accelerate adoption by integrating the NVIDIA software stack including libraries, SDKs, NIMs, and blueprints, into partner products and data pipelines, delivering measurable performance and scalability improvements.

• Drive partner onboarding and co-innovation through technical enablement assets such as reference architectures, sample code, benchmark, and workshop content that accelerate deployment of production-ready solutions.

• Engage with partner technical leaders to guide best-practice integrations, solve complex architectural challenges, and establish structured collaboration cadences that surface emerging workflows and inform NVIDIA product and platform strategy.

• Build and expand a strategic ecosystem of AI platform and tools partners, track ecosystem and technology trends, and identify opportunities to scale NVIDIA adoption and ecosystem growth.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with solution architects, engineering, product management, and account teams to strengthen partner engagement and optimize adoption strategies.

• Deep domain knowledge across enterprise MLOps lifecycle, including inference serving platform, scalable deployment, eval, governance and observability pipeline.

• Proven ability to lead complex, multi‑stakeholder technical engagements, align cross‑functional priorities, and drive execution across internal teams and external partners. Experience architecting, integrating, and scaling joint solutions with strategic ISVs or ecosystem partners is preferred.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both engineering and executive audiences.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd

• Deep familiarity with NVIDIA’s accelerated AI stack, including TensorRT-LLM, NeMo, Dynamo, NIM, RAPIDS, run.ai, CUDA-X libraries, and related frameworks, with experience integrating them into production platforms.

• Experience partnering with early‑stage or high‑growth startups/ISVs in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments.

• A strong builder mindset, with a track record of creating technical solutions, enablement assets, or ecosystem integrations from the ground up.
