Director of Product, Ecosystem

Details

Nebius is building a full-stack AI cloud platform for developers and enterprises, supporting workloads from data and model training through production deployment. The platform includes GPU orchestration, inference optimization, compute, storage, networking, applied AI, development environments, and data pipelines.

This role focuses on agentic infrastructure: the capabilities developers and enterprises need to build, run, and scale systems that reason, use tools, and take action. The product leader will identify customer needs, explore product opportunities, and turn promising ideas into capabilities that developers choose to build on.

Responsibilities

Define Product Direction

• Own the product vision, priorities, and roadmap for emerging opportunities in agentic infrastructure.
• Work directly with developers and enterprise teams to understand workflows, technical constraints, and unmet needs.
• Translate customer insights and ecosystem developments into product decisions and scoped releases.
• Partner with engineering and design through discovery, development, launch, and iteration.
• Define success through developer adoption, production usage, customer outcomes, and business impact.

Explore and Build Hands-On

• Build prototypes, sample applications, and integrations to test ideas and support product decisions.
• Use Nebius and relevant ecosystem tools to understand the developer experience and identify gaps.
• Work through performance, reliability, security, and cost trade-offs with engineering.
• Validate concepts with customers and turn successful experiments into production offerings.
• Create reference architectures and examples to help developers get started.

Connect the Ecosystem to the Platform

• Build relationships with founders, technical leaders, and developers shaping AI application development.
• Evaluate emerging tools and technologies through experimentation and customer feedback.
• Identify where Nebius should build, integrate, or partner to deliver a stronger product experience.
• Lead the product side of selected partnerships from concept through integration, launch, and adoption.
• Bring external insights into platform planning and help leadership prioritize investments.

Drive Adoption and Iteration

• Work with developer relations, marketing, sales, and field teams to bring new capabilities to market.
• Stay close to early users, resolve adoption barriers, and incorporate production learnings into the roadmap.
• Develop a repeatable path from customer discovery and experimentation to products with sustained usage.

Product Scope

The role spans the infrastructure and developer experience supporting agentic applications. Potential areas include how applications access models and tools, manage context and state, execute workloads, connect to data, and operate reliably in production. The scope will evolve with customer needs and the platform's direction.

Requirements

• 8+ years of relevant experience building technical products, with meaningful ownership of AI infrastructure, cloud platforms, or developer tools.
• Track record of taking products from ambiguous customer problems to production adoption with measurable outcomes.
• Strong technical fluency and ability to work through architecture and implementation decisions with engineers.
• Hands-on experience using APIs and SDKs, exploring unfamiliar tools, and building working prototypes.
• Experience designing developer experiences across APIs, integrations, documentation, and operational workflows.
• Familiarity with how AI applications are built and with the infrastructure needs of increasingly agentic systems.
• Strong customer discovery skills and sound judgment about which needs can support a repeatable product.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including product proposals, technical trade-offs, and investment recommendations.
• Ability to set direction, make decisions, and deliver in a fast-moving environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Founded a company or served as an early product or engineering leader at an AI or infrastructure startup.
• Built products used by developers to create or operate AI applications.
• Experience with distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or production AI workloads.
• Contributions to open-source projects or experience working with developer communities.
• Experience building technical partnerships that led to successful integrations or new product capabilities.

Benefits

• Base compensation range: $228,000–$285,000 USD.
• 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and families.
• 401(k) plan with up to a 4% company match and immediate vesting.
• 20 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers and 12 weeks for secondary caregivers.
• Remote work reimbursement of up to $85 per month for mobile and internet.
• Company-paid short-term, long-term, and life insurance.
• Career growth and learning opportunities.
• Flexibility and ownership.
• Collaborative and innovative culture.
• Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects.
• International environment and talented teams.
