This role combines deep technical infrastructure expertise with product portfolio ownership and roadmap execution. The position is responsible for defining, coordinating, and driving Hyve's infrastructure product roadmap across server platforms, storage systems, AI systems, networking platforms, motherboards, chassis, and rack-scale infrastructure solutions. Unlike traditional product management roles, this position is deeply technical and operates within the CTO & Architecture organization. The individual will work closely with architecture, engineering, ecosystem partners, manufacturing, operations, and marketing teams to ensure Hyve's infrastructure portfolio, platform capabilities, specifications, and technology direction are aligned with customer requirements, ecosystem roadmaps, deployment trends, and market opportunities. The role requires strong systems understanding across hardware infrastructure technologies combined with the ability to drive structured roadmap development, product definition, portfolio coverage, and execution readiness across multiple product lines. Key Responsibilities * Drive end-to-end infrastructure product roadmap development across: * + compute platforms + AI systems + storage infrastructure + networking platforms + motherboards + chassis and rack-scale solutions * Define and maintain product portfolio strategy and product swimlanes across target customer and market segments * Develop and manage roadmap planning processes including: * + technology alignment + resource planning + dependency tracking + platform timing + lifecycle management + ecosystem synchronization * Work closely with system architects, platform architects, board designers, mechanical architects, power architects, and engineering teams to ensure roadmap feasibility and technical alignment * Drive technical product definition including: * + Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) + platform specifications + configuration matrices + feature definitions + platform capability planning + roadmap databases and planning tools * Ensure roadmap products have the required platform capabilities, board designs, chassis architectures, thermal support, power envelopes, expansion capabilities, and deployment models needed for target market coverage * Coordinate alignment with major ecosystem and SoC vendors across: * + CPUs + GPUs + accelerators + networking silicon + storage technologies + memory technologies + power and cooling ecosystems * Partner with system architecture and CTO leadership, marketing, sales, and ecosystem teams on: * + market sensing + competitive analysis + technology trend analysis + customer requirement alignment + long-range portfolio planning * Help define platform segmentation and SKU strategy across customer and deployment categories * Drive roadmap readiness reviews and cross-functional alignment between architecture, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations teams * Support customer engagements and roadmap discussions where technical product direction and platform planning expertise are required * Help establish scalable product management and technical roadmap governance processes across the organization ## Related Videos - [On developing smartphones on wheels](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/258-on-developing-smartphones-on-wheels) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Overcoming bottlenecks of Platform Teams](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1410-overcoming-bottlenecks-of-platform-teams) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [Stop Renaming Teams, Start Product Thinking: A PM's Guide to Platform-as-a-Product](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100342-stop-renaming-teams-start-product-thinking-a-pm-s-guide-to-platform-as-a-product) ## Related Articles - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Why Event-Driven Architecture Isn’t About Speed (and When You Actually Need It)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/745-why-event-driven-architecture-isn-t-about-speed-and-when-you-actually-need-it)
