Full time

In this role, you’ll accelerate the evolution of NVIDIA's DOCA - the software platform that defines how BlueField DPUs and ConnectX SuperNICs power AI factories, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise data centers. DOCA is the infrastructure acceleration layer for the globe's most fast paced workloads. As a Product Management leader in the DOCA group, you'll drive the developer platform that thousands of engineers build on. You will guide a group of senior PMs to develop the capabilities that hyperscalers and cloud providers depend on. This is a rare opportunity to define a platform at its inflection point - with the scope, team, and strategic backing to make it the industry standard.

At NVIDIA, you’ll join a diverse, motivated community united by curiosity, creativity, and a shared mission to change the world. Our DOCA Product Group leads software strategy for ConnectX and BlueField DPU product lines - cornerstones of NVIDIA’s data-center and AI strategy. Together, we are building the networking backbone of tomorrow’s intelligent systems and shaping the future of how computation connects.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own DOCA work end-to-end - from strategy and prioritization to release - incorporating signals from hyperscalers, CSPs, and the developer ecosystem.
• Lead and grow a team of product managers, setting direction, developing talent, and maintaining cross-functional alignment with engineering, architecture, and GTM.
• Champion DOCA SDK adoption with developers and partners, defining new APIs, libraries, and microservices that unlock new deployment architectures.
• Drive requirements for end-to-end platform capabilities, covering accelerated datapath provisioning, multi-tenant network isolation, and offload lifecycle management - feeding into a complete, production-ready DOCA solution for AI factory and cloud deployments.
• Collaborate deeply with multidisciplinary engineering and architecture teams to establish priorities and define precise, actionable requirements for breakthrough projects.
• Build positive relationships with customers and ecosystem partners. Listen carefully to their technical needs. Provide expert mentorship and support broad AI implementations that advance their strategic goals.
• Create use cases and reference applications to demonstrate product value to technical and executive audiences.
• Drive competitive intelligence and market analysis to identify gaps and opportunities across the DPU software landscape, informing both near-term priorities and long-term platform strategy.
  
  

• BSc/MSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field; or equivalent experience.
• 15+ years of overall experience as product management in systems software or networking, and 5+ years leading PM teams and cross-functional leadership at scale

• Expertise in cloud technologies, Linux, User Space, RDMA, DPDK, Kubernetes, cloud storage, and accelerated networking (InfiniBand, Ethernet).
• Strong ability to translate customer and business insights into networking software solutions, with a focus on cloud providers, enterprises, integrators, and vendors.
• Great balance of deep systems software knowledge with business acumen - equally fluent in API design tradeoffs and revenue/GTM conversations.
• Proven success working with Enterprise clients and top Cloud Service Providers on product releases and large-scale AI deployments.
• Advanced analytical and product/project management skills in dynamic, technical environments.
• Excellent communication skills in both technical and business contexts.
  
  

• Strong background in Data Center networking, networking powered by artificial intelligence, storage, and security techniques.
• Proven leadership in embedded software development, from networking infrastructure to application-level innovation.
• Track record of growing developer ecosystems around a platform SDK - driving adoption metrics, community engagement, or ISV integrations.
• Hands-on experience with DPU offload architecture, programmable networking pipelines, and NVIDIA technologies (CUDA, embedded solutions), with deep platform ecosystem knowledge.
• Extensive product management experience in international organizations, prioritizing adaptability and cross-cultural collaboration with proven track record to monetize infrastructure software platforms, driving significant revenue growth.
