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.

Responsibilities

  • Manage a team of developer relations product leads.
  • Engage with partner software organizations — from engineering teams to technical leaders and decision makers — to understand their 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 roadmaps for technical enablement resources (code samples, reference architectures, integration guides, workshops) to accelerate partner engineering teams’ adoption of NVIDIA libraries.
  • Represent and advocate for partner technical needs and feedback to NVIDIA’s 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 overall 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 — including 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/machine learning workflows (including ETL, data pipeline development, synthetic data generation, and 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 to structure and implement complex technical engagements, negotiate requirements, prioritize issues, and collaborate with internal or external partners (across sales, legal, product, or marketing teams as needed).

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 (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker, Kubeflow), along with agentic architectures (e.g., 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.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary range: 208,000 USD - 333,500 USD (base salary determined by location, experience, and pay of employees in similar positions).
  • Eligibility for equity and comprehensive benefits. See NVIDIA benefits for details.
  • Applications accepted at least until September 20, 2025.
