Job description

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. 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. If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us. 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.

About the Role

Lambda works closely with NVIDIA as a partner and investor, and builds its cloud on their hardware. A partner, an investor, and a supplier are three different conversations, and this role holds all of them from the product side. As a product manager on the Foundational Infrastructure team, you stay current on where NVIDIA's hardware and software roadmap is heading and decide what Lambda should do about it. Some of what they build we should adopt and turn into products. Some of it we should pass on, and saying so early and clearly saves the company a great deal of work. You make that call with the evidence behind it, then route what we do take on to the product and engineering owners who will carry it. Holding it together means being the person both companies call, and making sure a request that arrives in one conversation reaches the right owner instead of sitting. Large joint engineering programs run through this role too. When the two companies build something together, you own the product side of it, including scope and what done means. That work is cross-functional by nature and rarely sits inside one team.

Great 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 hardware platform or infrastructure software experience at a cloud provider, silicon vendor, or systems company is highly desired.

If you have held a relationship like this before and know that the hard part is the judgment rather than the meetings, we'd love to hear from you.

We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills, and we are excited to hear from candidates who can bring unique perspectives to our team.
