Job description

Ready to help developers and researchers get more from open AI models? At NVIDIA, our team improves support for leading community models such as Nemotron, Llama, Gemma, DeepSeek, and Qwen. As a Product Manager for Open Models, you will help coordinate model enablement, developer experiences, technical content, and product launches across NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform.

You will work alongside experienced product managers, engineers, model builders, and product marketing teams. This role is ideal for someone early in their product-management career who has a strong technical foundation, enjoys working across teams, and is excited about the open-model ecosystem.

What you’ll be doing:

• Support collaboration with community model builders around model access, technical enablement, launch readiness, and go-to-market activities.
• Track emerging open-model releases and summarize their capabilities, technical differentiators, hardware requirements, and ecosystem impact.
• Maintain product requirements, launch plans, readiness checklists, and supporting documentation for assigned models.
• Partner with engineering, infrastructure, and developer-experience teams to support open models across inference, fine-tuning, evaluation, and deployment.
• Gather feedback from model builders and developers, identify recurring issues, and translate findings into actionable product requirements.
• Review and test developer workflows, sample applications, notebooks, and Python code used in demonstrations and technical content.
• Collaborate with product marketing on blogs, documentation, presentations, case studies, and social-media content.
• Support product announcements, demonstrations, keynote materials, and other high-visibility launches while working onsite at least three days per week.

What we need to see:

• 2+ years of relevant experience in product management, technical program management, partner engineering, developer relations, software engineering, or a related technical role.
• BS or MS in computer science, engineering, data science, or another technical field—or equivalent experience.
• Working knowledge of the open-model ecosystem, including tools such as Hugging Face, PyTorch, Ollama, SGLang, or vLLM.
• Ability to read, run, and make minor updates to Python code used in notebooks, demonstrations, documentation, or technical articles.
• Familiarity with generative-AI concepts, including inference, fine-tuning, evaluation, model deployment, and GPU acceleration.
• Experience contributing to technical documentation, presentations, blogs, tutorials, product materials, or social-media content.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical information into clear requirements and updates.
• Strong collaboration and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple defined projects, deadlines, and dependencies.
