What you'll need
- 15+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Program Management, Engineering Management, or similar technical leadership roles, ideally in cloud, infrastructure, streaming, or graphics. - Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, real-time streaming services, and engineering. - Experience with cloud-native systems including microservices, Kubernetes, observability stacks, CI/CD, and API-driven services. - Experience with operational frameworks such as SLIs/SLOs/SLAs, incident response, NPI readiness, high-level availability, and service reliability. - Experience writing SRDs, PRDs, RFCs, and operational plans within Agile or other program management frameworks. - Familiarity with game streaming (GFN) or graphics delivery networks (GDN).
Nice to have
- Experience in cloud gaming, real-time media streaming, or consumer-scale cloud services. - Familiarity with AI/ML deployment pipelines, inference optimization, or GPU-based compute stacks. - Deep background in data center operations, edge compute, capacity planning, or multi-region service scaling. - Security and compliance program experience including SOC2, ISO 27001, cloud governance, and GDPR. - Experience managing global partner integrations with ISVs, OEMs, CSPs, or game publishers, along with an understanding of the GeForce NOW ecosystem.
