Senior Manager, Developer Relations - Generative AI Software

Details

NVIDIA is seeking a highly technical Senior Director to lead Developer Relations Managers to drive adoption of generative AI, agent lifecycle libraries, and AI models across our software partner ecosystem. The role will collaborate across multiple vertical market segments, guide architecture and implementation plans with product and engineering teams, and engage with partners and internal stakeholders at all levels.

Responsibilities

• Manage a team of developer relations product leads.
• Engage with partner software organizations (engineering teams, technical leaders, decision makers) to understand goals, identify and resolve technical blockers, advocate for standard methodologies, and drive alignment with NVIDIA technical solutions.
• Operate as a technical consultant and solution provider with collaborating engineering groups, partnering on architecture, code, and integration for NeMo and AI-enabled solutions.
• Co-design and implement sophisticated technical solutions with partners — defining objectives, architecture, achievements, and delivery plans. Contribute sample code, architecture diagrams, and direct engineering support to overcome technical challenges.
• Develop a roadmap for technical enablement resources (code samples, reference architectures, integration guides, workshops) to accelerate partner engineering teams’ adoption of NVIDIA libraries.
• Represent and advocate partner technical needs and feedback to NVIDIA internal product and engineering teams, supplying actionable insights from field deployments to influence product roadmaps.
• Support product launches and technical go-to-market activities by providing technical validation, demonstrating integrated solutions, and ensuring quality in customer- and partner-facing materials.

Requirements

• Minimum of 10+ years of professional experience in the technology industry, including at least 5+ years of direct, hands-on technical experience in software development or engineering.
• MS/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field; or equivalent experience.
• Proven hands-on involvement throughout the full software development lifecycle (requirements definition, design, implementation, testing, integration, QA, and post-release support).
• Experience (as a software engineer or technical product manager) in one or more of: deep learning and AI systems, foundation models, enterprise-scale ISV software development, full-stack application development, AI/ML workflows (ETL, data pipeline development, synthetic data generation, data preparation), or graphics and GPU-accelerated programming.
• Significant technical depth in AI models and generative AI software.
• Experience leading technical collaborations with engineering and product teams, including architectural design, code reviews, technical mentorship, and delivery of technical talks or workshops.
• Clear communication skills for conveying technical concepts, architecture, and code to audiences ranging from engineers to executives.
• Proven track record structuring and implementing complex technical engagements, negotiating requirements, prioritizing issues, and collaborating with internal or external partners (sales, legal, product, marketing).

Ways to stand out

• Familiarity and/or experience with NVIDIA libraries and models (CUDA-X, Nemotron, NeMo, NIM).
• Strong recent experience developing or integrating technology into enterprise platforms or automation software.
• Familiarity with AIOps, cloud-native and container orchestration technologies (Kubernetes, Docker, Kubeflow), agentic architectures (MCP, LangGraph), and observability tools for monitoring autonomous systems.
• Track record of influencing complex product decisions through trusted relationships while balancing software partner needs with empathy.

Compensation & Logistics

• Base salary range: 208,000 USD - 333,500 USD (final base salary determined by location, experience, and pay of employees in similar positions).
