Own product strategy and roadmap for FriendliAI's AI inference platform, covering model serving, deployment, orchestration, APIs, and developer features. Lead and mentor Product Managers and Product Designers, and work with engineering and research on routing, batching, scheduling, and inference performance metrics. Requires 10+ years of product management experience on technically complex platforms.
FriendliAI is looking for a Director of Product to own the product strategy and evolution of our AI inference platform. As Director of Product Management, you will define how FriendliAI’s inference platform serves models, scales across demanding workloads, and delivers measurable gains in performance, reliability, and cost.
AI inference is an unusually complex product problem. Models, GPUs, networking, scheduling, serving systems, and developer workflows must work together under real production constraints. Customers expect low latency and high throughput as workloads constantly change, and the platform must make this complexity feel simple to the engineers building on top of it.
This is a hands-on product leadership role for a technically strong product leader who understands AI infrastructure, works deeply with engineering and research, and translates complex systems into products customers want to use. You will own product direction across the inference platform while helping build and lead the product organization as FriendliAI scales.
