Developer Relations Manager, Cloud Service Provider

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Redmond, WA +1

Developer Relations Manager focused on technical engagement with CSP AI engineering teams to accelerate adoption of NVIDIA software and platforms. Responsibilities include hands-on guidance, technical support, developing reference implementations, leading performance investigations, building engagement plans, creating technical content, and capturing feedback to influence product roadmaps. Requires a strong software engineering background with experience in AI software stacks and services, particularly in areas like model serving, training, and inference optimizations.

What you'd actually do

  1. Serve as the primary technical DevRel interface for CSP AI engineering teams; build and maintain strong working relationships with key developer leads and stakeholders.
  2. Drive NVIDIA software adoption by delivering hands‑on guidance and technical support across relevant SDKs/libraries and platform integrations (e.g., model serving, training and inference optimizations).
  3. Develop and maintain reference implementations, sample code, and “golden path” guidance that AI teams can reuse across projects to accelerate time‑to‑production.
  4. Lead technical performance investigations with AI engineers (profiling, bottleneck analysis, best‑practice tuning), partnering with NVIDIA engineering teams as needed to resolve issues quickly.
  5. Build and execute a developer engagement plan (workshops/office hours/technical deep dives) and report progress, early signals, and blockers to internal stakeholders.
