Senior Developer Relations Manager - Cosmos and Foundation Models

Details

We are seeking a highly technical and strategic Senior Developer Relations Manager to join our team, with a focus on engaging developer ecosystems across emerging technology domains. In this pivotal role, you will work directly with software solution providers, developers, and industry professionals to foster the adoption of NVIDIA’s advanced AI and computing platforms. The ideal candidate brings a blend of deep technical expertise and commercial go-to-market experience, combined with a passion for developer advocacy and a talent for communicating how NVIDIA technology can solve sophisticated, real-world challenges.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted technical consultant for developers implementing NVIDIA Physical AI technology and World Foundation Models.
• Accelerate critical workloads by demonstrating solutions that integrate the core NVIDIA stack into developer products, platforms, and pipelines.
• Advise on technical enablement resources such as sample code, guides, demonstration pipelines, and tools to highlight applications of Physical AI with VLMs and multimodal generative models.
• Guide partners and startups through onboarding and integration with NVIDIA’s programs, fostering co-innovation and next-generation solutions.
• Map, track, and monitor the developer ecosystem to identify growth opportunities, inform technology roadmaps, and shape adoption strategies.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with solution architects, engineering, product management, and marketing to drive developer engagement and optimize partner adoption strategies.
• Work closely with partner engineering teams, technical leaders, and decision-makers to uncover goals, tackle technical challenges, and endorse protocols for successful integrations.
• Represent and advocate for partner technical needs and feedback to NVIDIA’s internal product and engineering teams, providing actionable insights from field deployments to influence product roadmaps.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Minimum of 8–10+ years of overall professional experience in the technology industry in software engineering, developer relations, technical partnerships; including 5+ years of direct hands-on experience in Physical AI, Generative AI, or Omniverse.
• Proven experience leading, partnering, and scaling developer programs at major technology companies, ISVs, or relevant verticals focused on Generative AI, applied machine learning, or Physical AI development.
• Strong foundation in deep learning algorithms, including hands-on experience with LLMs, VLMs, multimodal generative models and World Foundation Models.
• Experience with model quantization and modern inference optimization techniques (examples noted: KV cache, in-flight batching, parallelization mapping).
• Proficient with building, optimizing, and deploying models in production using frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to distill complex technical concepts for diverse technical and non-technical audiences (engineers to executives).
• Proven ability to structure and implement complex technical engagements, negotiate requirements, prioritize issues, and collaborate with stakeholders across sales, legal, product, and marketing.

Ways to Stand Out

• Hands-on experience building or optimizing vertical-specific solutions: deploying LLMs, VLMs, diffusion models, or World Foundation Models at scale, especially for robotics or autonomous vehicles.
• Experience with data curation pipelines and tools like NVIDIA NeMo Curator for large-scale video data processing and post-training workflows.
• Direct experience with NVIDIA Cosmos, Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, or Omniverse platforms for synthetic data generation and Physical AI simulation.
• Successful history of building and scaling developer communities and delivering impactful technical enablement programs.
