About the role
Senior leadership role leading Lambda's Platform product group (Security, Observability, and Billing) to build horizontal platform capabilities for the Lambda Cloud, including metering/billing, identity/security surfaces, and telemetry. Player-coach with direct product strategy ownership, hiring and managing PMs, and close partnership with Platform Engineering.
Responsibilities
- Build the Team: Hire, manage, and develop the Security, Observability, and Billing product managers, and set the standard for insight, influence, and execution across the Platform product group.
- Own the Roadmap: Define and own the platform roadmap end to end across security, observability, and billing, and hold it accountable to customer and business outcomes.
- Carry the Strategy Yourself: Personally own platform product strategy while the team is being hired, so the roadmap never waits on headcount.
- Strengthen Every Product: Deliver horizontal capabilities that On-Demand GPU Instances, 1-Click Clusters, and the Lambda Cloud API all depend on, rather than one-off features for a single product line.
- Get Metering and Billing Right: Own the product surface for usage-based GPU compute billing, from per-minute on-demand billing to committed multi-node cluster contracts, so every invoice is accurate and explainable.
- Earn Enterprise Trust: Shape the identity and security surfaces that let enterprise ML teams adopt Lambda with confidence.
- Partner with Platform Engineering: Work side by side with platform engineering leadership on sequencing, tradeoffs, and delivery, so strategy and architecture move together.
- Decide with Data: Turn fleet telemetry, usage patterns, and customer signal into clear build decisions, and communicate the what, the so what, and the now what to executives and customers.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of product management experience, including experience shipping platform or infrastructure products that other teams build on
- 3+ years hiring and managing product managers, or have formally led product managers as a first-line manager
- Turn ambiguous data and customer signal into a clear decision about what to build next, and can show where you've done it
- Win engineers, designers, executives, and customers over to your ideas without relying on organizational authority
- Work with the right people to get products launched, then measure and iterate rather than moving on
- Are comfortable operating as a player-coach, owning strategy directly while building the team that will own it after you
- Can go deep with engineering leadership on technical tradeoffs and hold your own in architecture discussions
- Communicate in writing clearly enough that an executive can act on your document without a follow-up meeting
- Able to define iterative plans that move an organization from the current state towards the desired outcome
