Senior Technical Partner Marketing Manager

The posting, as SambaNova Systems wrote it

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.

SambaNova is hiring a Senior Technical Partner Marketing Manager to turn relationships across the ML and AI ecosystem into differentiated joint solutions, clear “better together” stories, and repeatable go-to-market programs. This role will work across model-serving and open-source frameworks, silicon and infrastructure, cloud and inference platforms, model providers, developer tools, and AI application platforms to show how combined technologies create greater value for developers and enterprise customers.

About the Role

This role sits at the intersection of Partner Engineering, Developer Relations, Product Marketing, Alliances, Product, and go-to-market. You will identify the strongest joint value propositions by ecosystem segment, translate integrations and shared roadmaps into credible technical stories, and bring those stories to market through reference architectures, demos, launches, content, and field programs. The right candidate can go deep enough on an integration to define why it matters, align independent organizations around a shared narrative, and build a coordinated GTM motion that creates adoption and business value for both sides.

Responsibilities

• Develop segment-specific partner strategies across model-serving and open-source frameworks, silicon and accelerators, cloud and inference providers, model providers, data and developer platforms, AI tooling, and application ecosystems
• Define differentiated “better together” value propositions that explain the customer and developer outcomes created by each class of integration
• Turn partner integrations into reference architectures, validated demos, solution briefs, tutorials, benchmarks, presentations, and field enablement
• Build and execute joint go-to-market plans with clear audiences, use cases, messaging, assets, launch sequences, field motions, and measures of success
• Partner closely with Alliances, Engineering, Product, Developer Relations, Product Marketing, Sales, and partner teams to define shared priorities, responsibilities, and deliverables
• Lead the content and readiness workstream for partner launches, ensuring technical claims, demonstrations, and proof points are accurate and reviewable
• Create reusable segment playbooks that help SambaNova evaluate opportunities and scale successful partner motions across the ML and AI ecosystem
• Support tec

Why This Role Matters

AI adoption depends on an ecosystem, not a single component. This role will define where SambaNova fits across the ML and AI value chain, make each integration’s combined value easy to understand, and turn strong technical partnerships into coordinated go-to-market motions that benefit developers, customers, and partners.
