Technical Product Manager, Marketplace - vastai

ABOUT THE ROLE

Vast.ai is seeking a Technical Product Manager to drive the product at the heart of our two-sided GPU cloud marketplace: how GPUs get listed, priced, found, rented, and trusted.

The Scale: With over 20k GPUs, our Cloud platform powers thousands of bleeding-edge AI training runs and critical production workloads for 120k+ developers all over the planet. This is a product with real scale, real data, and real users from day one. The work you ship moves tangible revenue in weeks, not quarters.

The Challenge: We don't own the GPUs. Thousands of independent hosts price and operate them, and no two machines are alike. Your job is to make that heterogeneous, decentralized supply feel like a top-tier cloud that just works: the right GPU at the right price, for every workload.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

You'll find the highest-impact problems in the marketplace, turn them into crisp specs, and drive them through engineering and out the door. You'll own the metrics that prove it worked: time-to-first-rental, rental reliability, revenue retention. Initial focus areas:

• Search & discovery. Help customers find the right GPU at the right price, and give hosts the tools to price and position supply.
• Reliability & trust. Give customers rentals that just work, and give hosts the signals and tools to keep their machines healthy and verified.
• Onboarding & activation. Help new customers reach their first successful rental, and help new hosts stand up their first GPU listing.
• Launch & enablement. Nothing ships silently: own release comms and docs, and get support, sales, and marketing behind every release.

IDEAL EXPERIENCE

• 3+ years of experience as a product manager, preferably for a highly technical or developer-centric product
• 
  HPreferred

3+ years of experience as a software engineer

• Industry experience in one or more of the following areas: software infrastructure, developer tooling (APIs, SDKs, CLIs), AI/ML, cloud computing, GPUs, or two-sided marketplaces
• Experience at a fast-paced startup or rapid growth team

YOU ARE

• AI-native. You work with AI agents every day, and you want to build the marketplace the AI era runs on.
• Deeply technical. You speak fluent infrastructure — Linux, Docker, VRAM, APIs — with the engineers who build it.
• Marketplace-minded. You reason about liquidity, incentives, and trust as naturally as features and funnels.
• Biased toward action. You'd rather ship the fix today than present the plan next week.
