Product Technical Marketing Manager

SambaNova is a leader in next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering a full-stack inference platform for customers worldwide. At the core of SambaNova's technology is the RDU (Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit) — a chip built on a dataflow architecture rather than the traditional GPU model. Its decode performance is especially strong for agentic workloads like multi-turn agents, code generation, and long-running applications. RDUs are packaged into SambaRack, rack-scale hardware that lets customers deploy state-of-the-art models with better performance, greater energy efficiency, and faster time to value.

About the Role

This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market. You will help shape how SambaNova explains its technology to the market by turning complex technical ideas into usable narratives, content, and enablement. The right candidate is not a pure marketer — they are a technical translator and builder who is comfortable getting deep on AI inference, accelerators, workloads, and customer-facing technical storytelling.

Responsibilities

• Build technical messaging, presentations, demos, collateral, and enablement content for AI infrastructure and inference use cases
• Explain complex hardware and inference concepts clearly, including memory bandwidth, interconnect, quantization, throughput vs. latency, and cost-per-token tradeoffs
• Partner closely with product, engineering, developer relations, sales, solutions, and field teams to develop narratives that are both technically accurate and commercially useful
• Support launches, customer conversations, benchmarking discussions, and technical field enablement
• Translate product and architecture details into materials that help customers, partners, and sellers understand why the platform matters
• Collect market and field feedback to sharpen positioning, proof points, and educational content over time

What We’re Looking For

• 3–8 years of experience in technical product marketing, technical marketing engineering, solutions architecture, field applications engineering, developer marketing, or a closely related role
• Strong technical fluency in semiconductors, accelerators, AI infrastructure, datacenter systems, or inference workloads
• Ability to understand and communicate hardware tradeoffs for large-model inference in a technically credible way
• Proven ability to create customer-facing or field-facing technical content, demos, presentations, training materials, or educational assets
• Strong cross-functional instincts and the ability to work effectively with engineering, product, sales, and customer-facing teams
• Scrappy, startup-oriented mindset with comfort operating in ambiguity and high-ownership environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in AI/ML infrastructure, GPU or accelerator ecosystems, datacenter hardware, or performance-sensitive systems
• Hands-on familiarity with benchmarking, workload optimization, proof-of-concepts, or technical competitive positioning
• Public teaching signal such as blog posts, talks, demos, documentation, LinkedIn content, or other technical communication
• Experience supporting sales enablement, partner enablement, or developer and community education
• Bay Area-based or excited to work closely with a Bay Area team
