Sr. Tech Product Manager - Neuron Runtime and Cloud ML Infrastructure, Annapurna Labs

AWS Neuron is hiring a Technical Product Manager to work backward from Trainium customers and drive the developer experience for running high-performance ML workloads at scale on AWS Trainium, from getting started with Neuron Deep Learning Containers, AMIs, and AWS services to operating at scale through orchestration, resiliency, and observability.

You will drive the product strategy for how developers interact with Trainium through container ecosystems, resource management platforms, and AWS services. This includes Neuron integration with orchestration tools (SLURM, Kubernetes), AWS services (EKS, SageMaker), Neuron Deep Learning Containers and AMIs, and Linux distribution support. You will also drive the strategy for resiliency and observability tools that enable system diagnostics, performance monitoring, health monitoring, automated recovery, and telemetry, allowing customers to operate AI training and inference workloads with maximum uptime and efficiency, as well as how Neuron Runtime System interacts with ML frameworks to ensure scale and high performance execution of models.

To be successful in this role, you will partner with engineering teams and PMs responsible for training, inference, and performance tools, Marketing, Business Development, and Solution Architects supporting customers, and develop deep knowledge and understanding of Trainium Architecture and Neuron Runtime System (including Neuron Runtime Library, Neuron Kernel Driver and Collective Communication Stack) to effectively define product strategy and make informed technical decisions., Product Strategy & Vision: Own product strategy and roadmap. Guide trade-offs between performance, scalability, and developer experience. Write PRFAQs and PRDs.

Customer Discovery: Understand deployment challenges, orchestration needs, and infrastructure pain points. Represent customer needs in executive prioritization.

Technical Leadership: Drive alignment across Neuron components (Runtime, Kernel Driver, Collective Communication, container infrastructure) and AWS services. Partner with training, inference, and performance PMs. Write user stories and define success metrics.

Impact: Enable customers (Anthropic, Databricks, AWS teams) to deploy, monitor, and operate ML workloads at scale through container orchestration, resource management, health monitoring, and observability.
