Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.
If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.
*Note: This position requires presence in our Bellevue or San Francisco office location 4 days per week; Lambda's designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.
Every product Lambda ships depends on horizontal capabilities: the security and identity surfaces that let enterprise customers trust us, the telemetry and observability that tells us and our customers what the fleet is doing, and the metering and billing that turns per-minute GPU usage and committed cluster contracts into accurate invoices. When the platform layer is coherent, every Lambda product gets stronger at once. That is the leverage of this role.
You'll lead Lambda's Platform product group as a player-coach. You'll hire and manage three product managers, one each for Security, Observability, and Billing, all opening now. While you build that team, you'll personally own platform product strategy: the roadmap, the priorities, and the tradeoffs. You'll partner directly with platform engineering leadership. This is a first-line product management manager role, and you'll set the bar your team is measured against.
Great product managers at Lambda are defined by three things: insight, influence, and execution. Insight means you look at the data, determine what it means for customers and business, and then figure out what to do about it. But, a great idea doesn’t mean anything in a vacuum. That is where influence comes in. Influence means you take that idea and get others to want to buy into it; you win over engineers, designers, executives, and partners without relying on authority. But a great idea that everyone is excited about doesn’t matter unless it is delivered to customers. Execution means you work with the right people to get the idea launched, then measure and iterate. We hire product managers who learn new domains fast and reason rigorously from evidence. Deep domain depth in cloud platforms makes you stronger, but insight, influence, and execution are the bar.
Success in this role looks like two things: a platform layer that enterprise customers can trust, and a hired, high-performing product management team that clears the bar you set. If you love building the connective tissue of a cloud, and you want to grow product managers while still doing the work yourself, we'd love to hear from you.
We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills, and we are excited to hear from candidates who can bring unique perspectives to our team. If you do not exactly meet this description but believe you may be a good fit, please still apply and help us understand your readiness for this role.
