As a Global Account Manager, Developer Relations, you'll own the technical charter for advancing integration of NVIDIA's libraries, models, and frameworks across one of our largest and most strategic partners. You will work with product teams across NVIDIA and Microsoft. You will help drive the integration of NVIDIA's libraries, open models, and frameworks into Microsoft’s platforms, aligning with their long-term business and technical goals. This highly visible position aligns with our product organization to deliver joint solutions that move the needle and with our enterprise go-to-market (GTM) organization to drive mutual success.
The ideal candidate brings an outstanding blend of Microsoft ecosystem fluency, a deep passion for developer advocacy, and strong technical account management experience.
What you’ll be doing:
- Drive adoption of NVIDIA software libraries, open models, and frameworks throughout business, product, and engineering groups
- Work closely with the NVIDIA account and technical teams on product and engineering integration priorities and coordination
- Accelerate critical workloads by showcasing and incorporating the NVIDIA software stack (libraries, models, SDKs, NIMs, and blueprints) into partner products, platforms, and pipelines. Support Microsoft in integration by connecting NVIDIA's DevTech, SA, Developer Relations, and Product engineering teams to boost adoption and promote collaborative development of next-generation solutions.
- Engage NVIDIA technical leaders to guide integrations and resolve technical challenges. Use regular syncs to track adoption, identify new workflows, and relay field insights to product teams.
- Build positive relationships with executive and technical collaborators across partner organizations — from C-suite sponsors to the developers building production software
- Advocate for NVIDIA software among the partner’s technical leaders, architects, and developer groups, encouraging early adoption of tools, libraries, SDKs, models, and blueprints
- Identify unique integration opportunities to deliver differentiated solutions and compelling value propositions — particularly in agentic workflows, data processing and model optimization
- Champion partner’s needs and perspectives within NVIDIA, influencing product strategy, roadmap and go-to-market initiatives
- Act as NVIDIA's PIC (Pilot in Command) to lead and influence cross-functional teams — including product management, engineering, solutions architects, marketing, and ecosystem teams — ensuring partnership success
- Collaborate with GTM teams including marketing and co-sell teams to incubate partnerships, deliver early joint wins with key LHAs and highlight joint successes
What we need to see:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a similar field (or equivalent experience)
- 12+ years of overall professional experience in the technology industry in developer relations, product management, technical partnerships, business development, or solutions architecture, including 3+ years of hands-on experience in applying accelerated computing to production workloads - inference serving and optimization, AI/ML/agentic software development, data processing, vector search, and/or search and ads ranking
- Deep understanding of Hyperscalers platform ecosystems — first-party (1P) services and PaaS offerings, data processing platforms, inference platforms, agentic workflows/frameworks, model catalogs/gardens — and the software stack that runs them
- Proven ability to structure and implement complex technical engagements, negotiate requirements, prioritize issues, and collaborate with internal and external partners across sales, legal, product, and marketing teams
- Exceptional ability to distill complex technical concepts and articulate value propositions to audiences ranging from developers to C-suite executives, with end-to-end experience defining, integrating, building, and bringing solutions to market with strategic customers and/or ISV partners
- Experience influencing partner product roadmaps
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- MBA, MS, or PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field
- Hands-on experience with NVIDIA software libraries, frameworks, and models (e.g., Nemotron, Cosmos, CUDA-X, NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, cuVS, cuDF, NIM, Dynamo, Triton, TRT-LLM, Omniverse, Isaac Sim, Metropolis)

Confirm your SOC code before filing
DevRel roles get classified under different SOC codes depending on the employer, which changes your prevailing wage requirement. Check the OFLC Wage Search using both 15-1252 and 15-1299 before your employer files the LCA to avoid a mismatch that triggers an RFE.
Document your technical depth on paper
USCIS scrutinizes DevRel petitions because the role blends engineering with advocacy. Your resume and support letter should quantify the software development work, not just the community or content output, to satisfy the specialty occupation standard for a bachelor's degree in a directly related field.
Target employers with cap-exempt filing history
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government contractors can file H-1B petitions year-round outside the annual cap. DevRel roles exist at these employers too, particularly in developer tooling and research platforms, so don't limit your search to commercial tech companies.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for verified sponsors
Search Developer Relations Engineer roles on Migrate Mate to see which employers have active LCA filing history for this job category. That data comes directly from DOL disclosure records, so you're targeting companies that have already cleared the prevailing wage certification process for similar positions.
Start the LCA process before your OPT expires
Your employer must file the LCA with DOL and receive certification before USCIS can accept the I-129 petition. For cap-subject H-1B filings, count back from the October 1 start date and confirm your employer's HR or legal team has the LCA submitted no later than late March.
Negotiate a job description that supports specialty occupation
If the offer letter describes your role primarily as community management or content creation, ask the employer to revise it to lead with the technical requirements, including programming languages, SDK integration, and developer tooling responsibilities, before the petition is drafted.
H-1B Visa Developer Relations Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Developer Relations Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, but the petition framing matters. USCIS evaluates whether the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field. DevRel positions that require hands-on software development, SDK work, or systems integration typically qualify. Roles described primarily as marketing or community management face higher scrutiny and are more likely to receive an RFE.
Which SOC code do employers typically use when filing an LCA for a Developer Relations Engineer?
Most employers classify Developer Relations Engineers under SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers and Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers) or the broader 15-1299 category for computer occupations not elsewhere classified. The SOC code your employer selects determines the prevailing wage level on the LCA, so confirm it before filing using the OFLC Wage Search. O*NET can also help you identify which classification fits your actual job duties.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor H-1B visas for Developer Relations Engineer roles?
Search Developer Relations Engineer positions on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers based on verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing history. This lets you filter for companies that have already gone through the H-1B process for similar roles rather than relying on job postings that may not reflect actual sponsorship willingness. LCA data is publicly disclosed and updated regularly.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I change Developer Relations Engineer jobs?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can start working for a new employer as soon as your new employer files an H-1B transfer petition with USCIS, without waiting for approval, as long as your previous H-1B was valid when the transfer petition was filed. The new employer files a fresh I-129 with an LCA that reflects the new role and location's prevailing wage.
Does remote work affect my H-1B status as a Developer Relations Engineer?
Yes. H-1B workers must have an LCA certified for every location where they work regularly, including a home office. If you work remotely full-time from a state different from your employer's listed worksite, your employer needs to file an amended petition with an updated LCA for that location. Short-term travel for conferences or customer visits generally doesn't require an amended filing.
