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)
- Successful history of building and scaling developer communities and delivering impactful technical enablement programs
- Expertise in building frameworks to capture developer sentiment and market shifts, translating real-time ecosystem dynamics into actionable intelligence for industry strategy and product rationalization
- Deep experience working at or alongside Microsoft

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Developer Relations Manager
Verify your role qualifies as specialty occupation
USCIS requires Developer Relations Manager positions to demand a specific technical bachelor's degree, not just any degree. Pull the O*NET profile for your SOC code and confirm your job description mirrors those educational requirements before applying.
Target employers with active LCA filing histories
Use the OFLC Wage Search to filter Labor Condition Application records by job title and location. Companies with recent DevRel LCA filings have already cleared internal approvals and understand the H-1B process for this role type.
Search verified H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified H-1B LCA filing histories for Developer Relations roles, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never sponsored this title before.
Clarify whether the role is cap-exempt
If a DevRel Manager position is at a university, nonprofit research organization, or government entity, it may qualify for cap-exempt H-1B filing, bypassing the lottery entirely. Confirm the employer's status with USCIS before accepting an offer.
Negotiate premium processing into your offer
Developer relations hiring often has a fast onboarding timeline that conflicts with standard H-1B adjudication windows. Ask employers to include premium processing in your offer letter before signing, since this shortens the USCIS review window significantly.
Document your developer community output before filing
DevRel roles can draw RFEs if the specialty occupation nexus between your degree and the position isn't obvious. Compile technical blog posts, conference talks, SDK contributions, and API documentation you've authored to strengthen the petition record.
H-1B Visa Developer Relations Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Developer Relations Manager role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, if the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field such as computer science, software engineering, or a related discipline. Generic management experience alone won't satisfy USCIS's specialty occupation standard. The job description needs to show that the technical degree is a baseline requirement, not a preference.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Developer Relations Managers?
Companies in cloud infrastructure, API platforms, developer tooling, and enterprise software tend to file LCAs for DevRel roles most consistently. You can verify which employers have active H-1B filing histories for this title on Migrate Mate, which filters by role and location using DOL disclosure data.
What SOC code is typically used for Developer Relations Manager H-1B petitions?
Employers most commonly file under SOC 11-2021 (Marketing Managers) or 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), depending on how the role is structured. The SOC code determines the prevailing wage level DOL certifies on the LCA, so it directly affects your offer's compliance requirements. Ask your employer which code they plan to use before your petition is filed.
Can a Developer Relations Manager role trigger an RFE from USCIS?
Yes. Roles that blend technical work with community engagement, marketing, and business development can draw Requests for Evidence if USCIS questions whether a specific degree is actually required. A strong petition includes a detailed job duties breakdown, evidence of technical output such as documentation or code contributions, and a clear degree-to-role connection in the employer's support letter.
How does the H-1B lottery affect Developer Relations Manager job seekers?
Most DevRel Manager positions are filed under the regular H-1B cap and are subject to the annual lottery, which runs in March for an October 1 start date. If you hold a master's degree from a U.S. institution, your registration enters both the master's cap and the general cap pools, giving you two chances at selection. USCIS publishes registration results and next steps on its website each spring.
