Senior Technical Program Manager

About the role

The Analytics & Data Intelligence (ADI) team develops the GPU-accelerated data analytics and AI software that enables enterprises to process extensive structured and unstructured datasets at unprecedented speed. Our open-source technologies—including cuDF, cuML, cuVS, and cuOpt—are helping define the future of data science, vector search, and agentic AI.

Responsibilities

• Own planning and execution for NVIDIA's GPU-accelerated data science and data processing libraries, building integrated roadmaps that balance long-term strategy, near-term priorities, and engineering capacity while defining program scope, milestones, success metrics, and execution plans.
• Drive cross-functional execution across engineering, product, marketing, go-to-market teams, and the open-source community, managing dependencies, aligning stakeholders, tracking software readiness, resolving risks early, and ensuring predictable, high-quality releases.
• Lead software release, security, and compliance programs while continuously improving development processes, tooling, and delivery practices to increase velocity, quality, collaboration, and predictability.
• Build and maintain significant program metrics that measure release health, quality, delivery performance, adoption, and overall program success, using data to drive decisions and continuous improvement.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field—or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of technical program management experience leading complex software initiatives in data science, data processing, accelerated computing, high-dimensional search, self-directed AI, or closely related domains.
• Strong technical foundation with previous experience as an engineer, data scientist, or highly technical program leader, along with deep familiarity with open-source software development, the PyData ecosystem, GitHub, and GitHub-based engineering workflows.
• Proven ability to lead multiple business-critical programs simultaneously, influence across organizations without direct authority, communicate effectively with both technical and executive audiences, and consistently deliver high-quality software in fast-moving environments.
• A self-directed, adaptable leader who takes ownership, solves problems proactively, and drives results with minimal oversight.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Python, C++, data science, or GPU-accelerated computing.
• Experience with vector search, agentic workflows, semantic search, text-to-SQL, intelligent query execution, or workload routing.
• Track record of improving engineering processes, delivery systems, and program metrics to make organizations more scalable and predictable.
• Experience partnering with research organizations to translate experimental work into production-ready software and successful customer outcomes.

Skills

• Strong communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Experience with project management tools and methodologies.
