Give every tenant their own isolated Kubernetes cluster. Built for AI Cloud Providers, AI factories, and multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms running production AI infrastructure. Backed by Berkeley SkyDeck.
About the role
As a Staff Product Manager for vMetal at vCluster Labs, you’ll help own the systems that discover, provision, configure, and manage physical hardware, turning racks of bare metal into a programmable platform for AI Cloud operators and hyperscalers to build tenant clusters on top of. You’ll work directly with the Head of Product and engineering leadership on the tradeoffs that shape where vMetal goes next. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience: 5+ years experience in cloud infrastructure, data center networking, bare metal, or GPU/HPC platforms. We’re open to a range of backgrounds for this role, not just traditional product management, including networking and hardware vendors
- Networking Fluency: You understand InfiniBand, VLAN, VXLAN and EVPN, and BGP, and the NVIDIA networking stack (Spectrum and Quantum switches, UFM, Cumulus Linux, NVUE), well enough to make informed product tradeoffs
- Infrastructure Fluency: You understand bare metal provisioning, out-of-band server management (Redfish, IPMI), and PXE boot well enough to make informed product tradeoffs
- Customer-Facing Infra Experience: You’ve sat across from platform engineers, network engineers, and architects, and you’re comfortable in that conversation

Infrastructure Direction: Align on business priorities and technical direction for vMetal across compute and networking, and translate that into specs engineering can execute against..
Networking: Own vMetal’s networking layer. Define how vMetal provisions and isolates tenant networks across InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet fabrics, from tenant VPCs to rail-optimized GPU fabrics, and how it works with fabric controllers and NVIDIA’s networking tools.
Product Leadership Partnership: Work directly with the Head of Product and engineering leadership to shape the direction of vMetal.
Hands-on Validation: Run alpha and beta builds yourself, including against real bare metal hardware and network fabrics where possible. Catch integration issues before customers do.
