The Enterprise AI Platforms & Infrastructure (EAIPI) organization, and specifically the Cloud Management and Operations (CMO) team, is the core engine driving Cisco’s autonomous cloud and enterprise AI strategy. We build, operate, and scale the foundational platforms that power modern cloud infrastructure and agentic AI systems across Cisco. Our ecosystem spans the RunOn Cloud AI Agent, Infrastructure AI Orchestration, Multi-Cloud Management Platform (MCMP), Public Cloud Governance, Infrastructure Agent and Tool Registry, VM as a Service (VMaaS), and Evaluations Frame works. Comprising elite architects, engineers, UX designers, and data scientists, we are pioneering the transition from traditional, manual cloud operations to intelligent, multi-domain autonomous workflows powered by an agentic operations platform.
Your Impact
As the Principal Product Manager for RunOn Cloud AI Agent, you will own the end-to-end product vision, lifecycle, and roadmap for Cisco’s flagship infrastructure AI assistant. You will translate complex cloud infrastructure capabilities (AWS, Azure, GCP, Private Cloud, Container Clusters, FinOps, SRE tooling) into seamless conversational and headless agentic workflows. You will define how enterprise users interact with cloud infrastructure—moving from siloed control surfaces and interfaces to natural language that orchestrates several infrastructure goals at once, across multiple domains, with proactive operational intelligence. Collaborating closely with Principal Architects, engineering leads, security compliance officers, and executive leaders, your work will directly boost developer velocity, optimize cloud spend, and establish Cisco's enterprise standard for trustworthy agentic operations.
