Job description

About Nscale

Nscale is taking on the hyperscalers by building a vertically integrated GenAI cloud platform. We own the data centers, software, and applications that power today's AI stack using sustainable technology solutions. We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you'll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Collaboration is key, and we work together swiftly and respectfully, embracing adaptability and resilience in all we do.

About the Role

Product Managers at Nscale own the definition, research, delivery, and ongoing evolution of a slice of the Nscale platform. You partner closely with engineering, design, research, and go-to-market teams to translate customer problems and business goals into shippable product outcomes. PMs work across the full breadth of Nscale — from core infrastructure primitives to managed platform services, developer experience, and internal tools — wherever product leverage is needed.

As a Product Manager working with the Cloud Platform Services team, you're responsible for delivering user-facing products and enhancements around the storage, networking, instances, and general cloud platform services. You'll work day-to-day with platform engineers and cloud native engineers to deliver products such as S3-compatible object storage, cluster management tools, that power workloads across the Nscale cloud via API, UI, CLI, and Terraform. You operate at team scope, driving multi-quarter initiatives within a single team.

What you'll be doing

• Own the deliveries and planning of platform service products such as storage, networking, and compute services used by Nscale's customers
• Partner closely with platform engineers and cloud native engineers to deliver the scheduled roadmap items
• Lead multi-sprint, cross-functional initiatives from problem framing through launch and measurement across the full product lifecycle
• Translate deep customer needs and current market trends (AI/ML workloads, GPU scheduling, multi-tenant platform teams, enterprise operators) into feasible product requirements
• Drive meaningful ambiguity: clarify unclear problem statements, align stakeholders across cloud, infra, and GTM, and define what "done" looks like
• Partner with design and research to shape deep product experiences for platform operators and application developers, and validate hypotheses before committing engineering resources
• Define and drive the metrics that matter — reliability, time-to-cluster, workload density, cost efficiency, and developer experience

Who You are

• 2 - 3 years of product management experience in software or technology, with a track record of owning significant product areas
• Hands-on experience building or shipping products on top of cloud platforms (hyperscaler or specialized cloud) and a strong working knowledge of how cloud-native services are designed, operated, and consumed
• Strong technical fluency: you can lead discussions with platform and cloud native engineers on architecture, trade-offs, and feasibility for distributed systems and multi-tenant platforms
• Demonstrated ability to move from an ambiguous problem space to shipped product outcomes in an infrastructure or platform context
• Experience mentoring or informally leading peers
• Excellent written and verbal communication; you can make complex technical product decisions legible to engineers, customers, and executives alike

Nice to Haves

• Familiarity with orchestration and scheduling technology — Kubernetes in particular, plus adjacent primitives such as container runtimes, schedulers (e.g. kube-scheduler, Slurm), operators, service meshes, and workload autoscaling
• Familiarity with GPU scheduling, accelerated computing, or running AI/ML workloads on Kubernetes.
• Experience in cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, enterprise software, or AI/ML products
• Experience operating in high-growth or early-stage environments

The range below reflects the base salary for the position. Actual compensation may vary based on job-related factors such as skill set, experience, education, and location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for bonus, equity, and/or commission programs.
