Principal Technical Program Manager – GeForce NOW Cloud

Details

NVIDIA is building the future of real-time graphics and cloud-native experiences through GeForce NOW (GFN) and Graphics Delivery Network (GDN). As a Technical Program Manager on this team, you will lead highly cross-functional and technically complex programs involving infrastructure, GPU-based streaming, partner integrations, operational readiness, and low-latency, high-fidelity delivery of gaming and interactive applications globally.

You will partner with engineering, product, operations, security, and external ecosystem partners to deliver reliable, globally distributed cloud services. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in highly technical environments, excels at execution difficulty, and is motivated by building and scaling world-class cloud services.

Responsibilities

• Own the full lifecycle of large-scale, multi-phase technical programs for GFN and GDN, from conceptualization through requirements, development, launch, and iteration.
• Work closely with Engineering teams across infrastructure, backend, and client development; Product; Data Center Operations; SRE; Capacity Planning; QA; and partner teams, including game publishers and app developers.
• Define clear, actionable technical requirements aligned with product goals.
• Establish and maintain SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, incident response plans, and operational playbooks for a 24/7 global service.
• Identify technical and program-level risks involving capacity, latency, and partner dependencies; propose mitigations and drive decision-making with collaborators.
• Liaise with game publishers, app creators, and external engineering teams to help integrate their build pipelines into NVIDIA’s streaming infrastructure.
• Plan and implement launches, including new features, new regions, and capacity expansions, with cross-team alignment; lead launch readiness reviews.
• Drive process improvements across product delivery, streaming performance, operational efficiency, and partner workflows.
• Communicate program health, risks, tradeoffs, and decisions to senior leadership with transparency and data-backed insights.

Requirements

• 15+ years of proven experience in Technical Program Management, Program Management, Engineering Management, similar technical leadership roles, or equivalent experience, ideally in cloud, infrastructure, streaming, or graphics.
• Bachelor’s or graduate degree coupled with a PMP is preferred, or equivalent experience.
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, real-time streaming services, and engineering.
• Extensive experience delivering sophisticated, multi-team programs with cross-functional collaborators.
• Experience with cloud-native systems, including microservices, Kubernetes, observability stacks, CI/CD, and API-driven services.
• Ability to translate product direction into actionable technical plans with well-defined requirements.
• Excellent communication, conflict resolution, and participant management skills, with the ability to influence engineering, product, and business partners.
• Experience with operational frameworks such as SLIs, SLOs, SLAs, incident response, NPI readiness, high-level availability, and service reliability.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.
• Familiarity with game streaming, including GFN, or graphics delivery networks, including GDN, is highly desirable.
• Comfortable working within Agile or other program management frameworks; experience writing SRDs, PRDs, RFCs, operational plans, and similar documentation.

Preferred Experience

• Cloud gaming, real-time media streaming, or consumer-scale cloud services.
• AI/ML deployment pipelines, inference optimization, or GPU-based compute stacks.
• Data center operations, edge compute, capacity planning, or multi-region service scaling.
• Security and compliance programs, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, cloud governance, or GDPR.
• Global partner integrations with ISVs, OEMs, CSPs, or game publishers.
• Passion for gaming and understanding of the GeForce NOW ecosystem.
