About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• Build the Team: Hire, manage, and develop the Security, Observability, and Billing product managers, and set the standard for insight, influence, and execution across the Platform product group.
• Own the Roadmap: Define and own the platform roadmap end to end across security, observability, and billing, and hold it accountable to customer and business outcomes.
• Carry the Strategy Yourself: Personally own platform product strategy while the team is being hired, so the roadmap never waits on headcount.
• Strengthen Every Product: Deliver horizontal capabilities that On-Demand GPU Instances, 1-Click Clusters, and the Lambda Cloud API all depend on, rather than one-off features for a single product line.
• Earn Enterprise Trust: Shape the identity and security surfaces that let enterprise ML teams adopt Lambda with confidence.
• Partner with Platform Engineering: Work side by side with platform engineering leadership on sequencing, tradeoffs, and delivery, so strategy and architecture move together.
• Decide with Data: Turn fleet telemetry, usage patterns, and customer signal into clear build decisions, and communicate the what, the so what, and the now what to executives and customers.

Requirements

• 10+ years of product management experience, including experience shipping platform or infrastructure products that other teams build on.
• 3+ years hiring and managing product managers, or have formally led product managers as a first-line manager.
• Turn ambiguous data and customer signal into a clear decision about what to build next, and can show where you've done it.
• Win engineers, designers, executives, and customers over to your ideas without relying on organizational authority.
• Work with the right people to get products launched, then measure and iterate rather than moving on.
• Can go deep with engineering leadership on technical tradeoffs and hold your own in architecture discussions.
• Communicate in writing clearly enough that an executive can act on your document without a follow-up meeting.
• Define iterative plans that move an organization from the current state towards the desired outcome.

Qualifications

• Built metering, billing, or monetization systems for usage-based products.
• Built identity, security, or compliance product surfaces for enterprise customers.
• Built telemetry or observability products, or worked deeply with tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
• A background in GPU compute, high performance computing, or AI infrastructure.
• Built a product team from zero, including writing the job descriptions and running the hiring loops.

Skills

• Insight: Look at the data, determine what it means for customers and business, and then figure out what to do about it.
• Influence: Take that idea and get others to want to buy into it; win over engineers, designers, executives, and partners without relying on authority.
• Execution: Work with the right people to get the idea launched, then measure and iterate.

• Compensation Range: $314K - $407K

Pay
