About the role
Senior Engineering Manager for Agentic Systems & Platform Architecture at NVIDIA, leading strategy and execution for the agentic developer platform, turning evolving agent patterns into scalable platform capabilities and governance to accelerate developer productivity and agent quality.
Responsibilities
- Track and deeply understand evolving agent development patterns across NVIDIA and the broader ecosystem
- Identify gaps and friction in current agent architectures, and translate insights into a platform strategy that boosts developer velocity and agent quality—backed by evaluations, benchmarking, and feedback loops
- Assess and integrate open source and third-party tools where they add leverage; drive clear build-vs-use decisions
- Architect and integrate high-performance data pipelines, RAG systems, vector databases, and GPU-optimized training and inference workflows
- Lead integration of the AI Data Platform into NVIDIA’s on-prem AI Factory, optimizing GPU-to-storage throughput, data locality, and distributed inference performance
- Establish and enforce robust Agent Governance policies across the platform, covering model/tool usage, data lineage, and ensuring adherence to compliance and Responsible AI frameworks
- Design, implement, and maintain a centralized Agent Safety Toolkit, providing developers with pre-vetted components for input/output guardrails and prompt injection defenses
- Lead and grow a high-performing team along with a multi-functional community to standardize procedures and scale adoption
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in CS/Engineering or equivalent experience
- 10+ overall years in software engineering, including 4+ years managing high-performing teams
- Strong hands-on experience with evolving agent architectures and open-source libraries; deep expertise in LLM/agent architectures—leading POCs and integrating them into real business use cases with measurable adoption/impact
- Ability to turn fast-moving, ambiguous problem spaces into clear platform strategy, roadmap, and outcomes
- Proven track record building multi-team developer platforms (APIs/SDKs, reusable components, reference implementations)
- Experience building evaluation/benchmarking systems for agent workflows (metrics, regression, feedback loops)
- Strong judgment integrating OSS/3P tools; clear build-vs-use decision-making and integration strategy
- Product approach for safety and governance: controls, audit ability, monitoring, and risk management
- Strong leadership and executive communication (engineering, product, security, research)
