Job Description

What you'll do

• Own the strategy, requirements, priorities, and roadmap for a compute product area.
• Work directly with customers to identify workload needs and adoption barriers. Decide which opportunities warrant investment and which do not.
• Work with silicon partners and OCI engineering to evaluate processor and platform choices across performance, memory, interconnect, power, software readiness, cost, and delivery timing.
• Write decision papers for leadership that establish the context, assess alternatives, and recommend product investments, roadmap choices, and pricing. Make assumptions, economics, risks, and requested decisions explicit.
• Present and defend recommendations in leadership reviews. Resolve open questions and revise proposals when the evidence changes.
• Lead product decisions through development and launch, including scope tradeoffs, positioning, pricing, and readiness for customer use.
• Track adoption, workload competitiveness, and business performance. Use the results to change priorities and guide subsequent investments.

Required experience and expertise

• Typically 8+ years of relevant industry experience, including 3+ years of product management experience with ownership of requirements, roadmap priorities, business tradeoffs, and product outcomes.
• Direct experience developing, evaluating, deploying, or bringing to market CPUs, GPUs, or AI accelerators, with technical depth in at least one category.
• Enough understanding of processor and system architecture to evaluate engineering proposals, challenge benchmark claims, and defend technical recommendations with experienced engineers.
• Prior product management responsibility for a processor, compute platform, or related infrastructure product. Your experience includes defining requirements, setting priorities, making business tradeoffs, and following a product through launch and adoption.
• Evidence of consequential product decisions you made: the alternatives considered, the supporting technical and customer evidence, and the results.
• Experience authoring decision papers or comparable proposals and defending recommendations with technical and business leaders.
• Ability to connect workload performance and system costs to pricing, customer value, and an investment case.

Preferred experience

• Experience with cloud compute products or data center platforms.
• Experience working with processor vendors, system suppliers, or infrastructure customers on product requirements and roadmaps.

Education

A degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science is preferred. Equivalent technical expertise demonstrated through relevant industry experience will also be considered.

Years of experience are a guide. The scope of your ownership, quality of your judgment, and demonstrated results determine fit.
