Job description

  • Own planning and execution for NVIDIA’s GPU-accelerated data science and data processing libraries, building integrated roadmaps that balance long-term strategy, near-term priorities, and engineering capacity while defining program scope, milestones, success metrics, and execution plans.
  • Drive cross-functional execution across engineering, product, marketing, go-to-market teams, and the open-source community, managing dependencies, aligning stakeholders, tracking software readiness, resolving risks early, and ensuring predictable, high-quality releases.
  • Lead software release, security, and compliance programs while continuously improving development processes, tooling, and delivery practices to increase velocity, quality, collaboration, and predictability.
  • Build and maintain significant program metrics that measure release health, quality, delivery performance, adoption, and overall program success, using data to drive decisions and continuous improvement.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field-or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of technical program management experience leading complex software initiatives in data science, data processing, accelerated computing, high-dimensional search, self-directed AI, or closely related domains.
  • Strong technical foundation with previous experience as an engineer, data scientist, or highly technical program leader, along with deep familiarity with open-source software development, the PyData ecosystem, GitHub, and GitHub-based engineering workflows.
  • Proven ability to lead multiple business-critical programs simultaneously, influence across organizations without direct authority, communicate effectively with both technical and executive audiences, and consistently deliver high-quality software in fast-moving environments.
  • A self-directed, adaptable leader who takes ownership, solves problems proactively, and drives results with minimal oversight.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Hands-on experience with Python, C++, data science, or GPU-accelerated computing.
  • Experience with vector search, agentic workflows, semantic search, text-to-SQL, intelligent query execution, or workload routing.
  • A track record of improving engineering processes, delivery systems, and program metrics to make organizations more scalable and predictable.
  • Experience partnering with research organizations to translate experimental work into production-ready software and successful customer outcomes.
