Director, Product Management

Rescale is disrupting the $40B high performance computing (HPC) market by accelerating its transition towards cloud computing. Companies use HPC to create the applied science and engineering innovations we use every day, including safer cars, faster jets, new electronics devices, and AI-enabled services. Rescale’s customers range from disruptive and innovative startups to leading companies in nearly every industry.

Rescale is expanding the modeling and simulation workflow by integrating data management and AI development into a single platform experience. We are accelerating engineering breakthroughs by delivering a multi-cloud platform that orchestrates modeling and simulation on top of the most common CAE software and latest coretypes available. We enable our customers to: 

1. Get products to market faster by replacing the bottleneck of fixed on-premise hardware with the unlimited and elastic capacity of the cloud, running the latest generation CPU and GPU hardware.

2. Full HPC technology stack automation, including lifecycle automation of simulation software & license management (catalog of 300+ ISV and open-source simulation tools), and an always current integration on the latest HPC infrastructures from all major cloud providers. 

3. Complete economic visibility, cost control, and optimization of HPC services across projects and teams running on multi-cloud infrastructures

We are looking for a Product leader with a background in Data management and AI workflows to build and mentor their team, while defining processes that will scale our business to the next level. They will deeply understand customer challenges and opportunities, develop strategic plans, and collaborate with engineering/go-to-market functions to not only deliver the product, but also work to ensure its commercial success.
