Senior Developer Relations Manager – Security, AI Software

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain deep technical expertise in software products (Splunk, App Dynamics, Thousand Eyes, AI Defense).
• Serve as the trusted technical advisor, problem solver, and champion for developers in observability, security operations, and AI platforms.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to drive adoption of libraries within those technologies.
• Accelerate critical workloads by demonstrating and integrating the NVIDIA software stack (APIs, SDKs, data integrations, apps, and reference architectures) into partner products, platforms, and pipelines.
• Guide partners and developers through onboarding and integration by providing technical resources—such as sample code, guides, and demo pipelines—to accelerate adoption across NVIDIA’s platform and foster co-innovation of next-generation solutions.
• Map and monitor the developer ecosystem to identify growth opportunities, collaborating with engineering, product management, and marketing to inform roadmaps and optimize partner adoption strategies.
• Engage partner technical leaders to drive best-practice integrations and resolve technical challenges, using regular syncs to track adoption, surface new workflows, and channel critical field insights back to NVIDIA product teams.
• Grow and activate developer communities around accelerated software — representing co-engineered products at conferences, meetups, and hackathons and delivering technical talks and hands-on workshops.
• Drive API, SDK, and integration adoption across Splunk and the broader software ecosystem, championing the developer experience end-to-end.
• Surface developer sentiment and ecosystem trends, translating them into actionable intelligence that informs product direction and platform strategy.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• A minimum of 12+ years of overall professional experience in the technology industry in software engineering, developer relations, technical partnerships, solutions architecture, or product management, including 5+ years of direct hands‑on experience in observability, data analytics, monitoring, or security software (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, Grafana, or comparable enterprise platforms).
• Proven experience leading, partnering, and scaling developer programs at major technology companies, with ISVs, or within relevant verticals.
• Significant technical depth in observability, security, and/or AI software — including logging and metrics pipelines, distributed tracing, SIEM/SOAR, cloud‑native architectures, and/or AI security frameworks — and contributions to product integrations and software libraries.
• Experience leading technical collaborations with engineering and product teams — including architectural design, code reviews, technical mentorship, and delivery of technical talks or workshops.
• Proven ability to structure and implement complex technical engagements, negotiate requirements, prioritize issues, and collaborate with internal or external collaborators (across sales, legal, product, or marketing teams as needed).
• Skilled at distilling complex technical concepts for audiences from engineers to executives, with end‑to‑end experience in defining, integrating, building, and jointly marketing solutions with strategic ISV partners.
