Business Unit

What the Role Entails

• Product Strategy & Roadmap: Own the full lifecycle management of AI infrastructure platforms (including large-scale clusters, distributed systems, lifecycle management toolchains, and model service gateways); develop 3-5 year strategies and annual roadmaps that align business goals with technical excellence, balancing performance, cost, usability, and reliability.

• Requirement Synthesis: Deeply analyze the core pain points of internal ML teams, data scientists, and enterprise clients; translate technical requirements into clear PRDs and technical specifications, leading products from 0→1 incubation to 1→N scaled iterations.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with hardware architecture, heterogeneous systems, software engineering, algorithms, and SRE teams to drive product R&D and operations; resolve critical technical trade-offs during the development process.

• Metric Framework: Establish a core performance indicator system (e.g., throughput, latency, compute resource utilization, cost efficiency, and developer satisfaction); leverage data to drive continuous product optimization.

• Technical Foresight: Track cutting-edge advancements in AI Infrastructure (such as compiler optimization, cloud-native architectures, and large-scale model training/inference techniques) and industry trends to build differentiated competitive advantages.

• GTM & Commercialization: Collaborate with GTM and sales teams to articulate product value propositions, technical whitepapers, and POC solutions to drive commercial success and client acquisition.

Who We Look For

Education: Master’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, or a related STEM field.

Professional Experience: Extensive experience in product management, with a focused track record in AI Infrastructure, cloud computing, distributed systems, or developer platforms.

Technical Proficiency: Familiar with the end-to-end model development lifecycle; understanding of compilation optimization, high-performance inference engines, and distributed training optimization techniques; product design experience in these areas is a strong plus.

Communication & Leadership: Exceptional cross-team communication and "influence without authority"; ability to drive project execution in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.

Preferred Qualifications: Experience in major cloud service providers or leading AI companies; active contributions to relevant open-source technical communities.
