Senior Product Manager - LLM Inference

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager — LLM Inference to own the strategy, roadmap, and commercial success of Runware's LLM inference offering, spanning our on-demand Model API and dedicated inference solutions.

This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role with end-to-end ownership of the customer-facing LLM product — from initial model discovery and API integration to production adoption, scaling, and enterprise expansion.

You'll work at the intersection of developer experience, LLM capabilities, inference performance, and unit economics, identifying where Runware can deliver the most value and translating customer needs into a focused, commercially sustainable product roadmap.

You'll partner closely with Engineering, Design, Security, and go-to-market teams, as well as our Serverless & Compute Product Manager, who owns the underlying compute platform. Together, you'll align on shared infrastructure priorities and capacity requirements while driving the success of the LLM offering.

What you’ll do

Own the LLM inference product strategy and roadmap. Define priorities across model availability, API capabilities, production readiness, and customer adoption, balancing developer needs, technical feasibility, business impact, and unit economics.

Drive customer discovery and product-market fit. Work directly with developers, AI teams, and technical decision-makers to understand production workloads, evaluate competing solutions, identify adoption barriers, and translate market insights into product decisions.

Own the model catalog and lifecycle. Guide model discovery, evaluation, launches, and deprecations across open-weight, proprietary, and custom or fine-tuned models. Partner with Engineering and Partnerships on model selection, serving, and routing decisions.

Shape the developer experience and API capabilities. Make it easy for customers to evaluate, integrate, migrate, and scale LLM workloads through API compatibility, SDKs, documentation, and capabilities such as streaming, tool calling, structured outputs, caching, and batch inference. Support compatibility with OpenAI Chat Completions and Anthropic Messages formats.

Define production inference requirements. Partner with Engineering on performance, reliability, and cost trade-offs, including latency, time to first token, throughput, concurrency, availability, and serving efficiency. Translate customer workloads into requirements for dedicated capacity, rate limits, routing, fallbacks, and observability.

Drive adoption and commercial growth. Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Partnerships on product positioning, pricing, packaging, and technical evaluations. Support customer progression from self-service usage to sustained production workloads and dedicated inference commitments.

Translate enterprise needs into scalable product capabilities. Work with Engineering and Security to define requirements for data residency, retention controls, service commitments, and other production-critical capabilities.

Stay hands-on throughout product delivery. Write clear requirements, prototype solutions, test APIs, reproduce customer issues, and work closely with engineers to resolve technical constraints and deliver high-quality releases.

Own product performance and business outcomes. Track activation, production usage, retention, expansion, revenue, gross margin, and service quality. Use customer feedback and product data to continuously refine priorities and measure impact.
