Technical Product Manager - Soperator

Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands; Berlin, Germany; France; Netherlands; Prague, Czech Republic; Remote - Europe Department: Technology Product

Why work at Nebius Nebius is leading a new era in cloud computing to serve the global AI economy. We create the tools and resources our customers need to solve real-world challenges and transform industries, without massive infrastructure costs or the need to build large in-house AI/ML teams. Our employees work at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure alongside some of the most experienced and innovative leaders and engineers in the field.

Where we work Headquartered in Amsterdam and listed on Nasdaq, Nebius has a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, North America, and Israel. The team of over 1400 employees includes more than 400 highly skilled engineers with deep expertise across hardware and software engineering, as well as an in-house AI R&D team.

The role

At Nebius, we’re building a next-generation AI compute platform for large-scale ML training and inference — from a few nodes to thousands of GPUs. We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to own product direction for Soperator — our Slurm-on-Kubernetes control plane for GPU clusters. In this role, you will shape how ML engineers and research teams run, scale, and optimize distributed workloads in production. If you care about systems that combine performance, reliability, and developer experience at the frontier of AI infrastructure, this role is for you.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Own the full user journey across Soperator clusters: Slurm workflows, dashboards, alerts/notifications, node lifecycle, and training/inference capacity management.
• Define product direction end-to-end: problem discovery → solution design → delivery → adoption.
• Lead deep customer discovery through interviews, usage analytics, and workload analysis to uncover high-impact opportunities.
• Drive execution across platform teams: compute, networking, storage, observability, IAM and etc.
• Translate frontier ML and infrastructure ideas into practical product capabilities for real-world GPU clusters.
• Define success metrics, prioritize roadmap decisions with data, and ensure measurable customer/business impact.
• Lead the open-source strategy and execution for Soperator: shape public roadmap themes, prioritize OSS-facing capabilities, and ensure strong adoption in the community.

We expect you to have:

• 3–5+ years in Product Management, ML infrastructure/MLOps, distributed systems, or cloud platform engineering.
• Strong technical depth in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or ML platforms.
• Hands-on familiarity with large-scale ML training and orchestration tools (e.g., Slurm, Kubernetes, Ray).
• Track record of shipping technically complex products with multiple engineering teams.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management across engineering, research, and customers.
• Experience with product analytics, data-informed prioritization, and experimentation.
• High ownership, high learning velocity, and comfort operating in fast-moving AI infrastructure environments.

It will be an added bonus if you have:

• Experience with GPU platforms and HPC primitives: InfiniBand/RDMA, topology-aware scheduling, high-throughput storage.
• Practical understanding of modern ML training stacks: PyTorch, DeepSpeed, FSDP/ZeRO, NCCL.
• Familiarity with efficiency and reliability metrics: Goodput, MFU, failure modes, preemption handling, health checks.
• Exposure to large-scale LLM training/inference systems.
• Experience in observability, performance tuning, or SRE/reliability engineering.
• Customer-facing technical experience (solutioning, support, architecture advisory).
