About The Position

The Product Manager, Cloud Storage Platform is a senior technical leader responsible for setting the vision, strategy, and architecture for Lambda’s storage infrastructure across cloud and hybrid environments. You will own the complete lifecycle of our storage platform — from ultra–high-performance block and file systems to petabyte- and exabyte-scale object storage — ensuring it delivers unmatched performance, durability, scalability, and cost efficiency for the most demanding AI workloads in the world. This role demands deep expertise across both software-defined and cloud-native storage architectures, along with the ability to unify them into a seamless, high-performance platform. You will define how storage is delivered, managed, and scaled globally, influencing multi-billion-dollar infrastructure investments and guiding world-class engineering teams to deliver storage capabilities that set a new industry benchmark for AI infrastructure.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• Seven (7) years of progressive, post-baccalaureate experience in product management, including at least four (4) years focused specifically on cloud-scale storage or infrastructure platforms.
• Proven expertise in designing and delivering large-scale storage platforms, including block, file, and object architectures, for performance-critical workloads.
• Experience evaluating and selecting storage technologies through benchmarking of throughput, IOPS, latency, durability, and total cost of ownership.
• Experience architecting and managing storage solutions for petabyte- to exabyte-scale datasets, including intelligent tiering strategies.
• Experience defining lifecycle management, replication, and disaster recovery strategies to ensure data durability and high availability.
• Experience integrating storage services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments to deliver a unified, high-performance platform.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the long-term vision and strategic roadmap for Lambda’s storage platform across cloud and hybrid environments, ensuring it delivers uncompromising performance, scalability, durability, and cost efficiency for the world’s largest AI workloads.
• Lead the evaluation, selection, and seamless integration of advanced storage technologies — spanning block, file, and object architectures — using rigorous benchmarking to optimize IOPS, throughput, latency, and total cost of ownership.
• Translate complex infrastructure capabilities into clear product requirements, precise service-level objectives (SLOs), and measurable performance benchmarks that align with demanding AI and HPC use cases.
• Architect and implement intelligent data tiering strategies (hot, warm, cold) to maximize performance where it matters and drive significant cost savings at scale.
• Collaborate with infrastructure and operations leaders to forecast multi-year capacity growth, design for petabyte-to-exabyte scalability, and ensure consistent performance under peak workloads.
• Define and enforce lifecycle management, replication, and disaster recovery policies that guarantee data integrity, compliance, and near-zero downtime.
• Own the observability and optimization roadmap for the storage platform, deploying advanced telemetry, monitoring, and analytics to proactively detect and remediate bottlenecks before they impact customers.
• Partner closely with engineering to drive continuous performance tuning, eliminate systemic inefficiencies, and ensure the platform remains ahead of industry benchmarks.

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
• Wellness and Commuter stipends for select roles
• 401k Plan with 2% company match (USA employees)
• Flexible Paid Time Off Plan that we all actually use
