About the role

Senior Networking Software Architect focused on DPU management, QoS, performance, telemetry, and software architecture for NVIDIA’s NIC/DPU platforms, spanning pre-silicon to production in large-scale AI and cloud datacenters.

Responsibilities

  • Own software and system architecture for next-generation DPU management, QoS, performance, telemetry, and observability features.
  • Define end-to-end control and management flows across DOCA, host drivers, embedded firmware, BMC, management controllers and external management systems.
  • Specify telemetry and observability requirements, including counters, logs, traces, events, health monitoring, debug data, and streaming telemetry.
  • Define management interfaces and APIs for configuration, provisioning, lifecycle operations, diagnostics, and field serviceability.
  • Write clear architecture specifications, interface definitions, flow diagrams, and design documents for software, firmware, and system teams.
  • Partner with R&D teams to translate high-level architecture into implementable designs and guide features through development, validation, silicon bring-up, and production.
  • Analyze system performance bottlenecks, interoperability issues, telemetry gaps, and customer-reported issues, then feed learnings into future architecture.
  • Collaborate with system and cluster architects to ensure NIC/DPU features fit end-to-end AI datacenter and cloud networking designs.

Qualifications

  • B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 9+ years of experience in networking, system software, embedded software, firmware, or datacenter infrastructure.
  • Proven experience in software architecture, or technical leadership roles.
  • Deep understanding of networking concepts and protocols such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, RDMA/RoCE, congestion control, QoS, virtualization overlays, and traffic management.
  • Strong background with DPUs, SmartNICs, or other high-performance networking devices.
  • Experience with system management, provisioning, monitoring, telemetry, diagnostics, or lifecycle-management flows.
  • Familiarity with management protocols and frameworks such as Redfish, PLDM, MCTP, IPMI, gNMI, SNMP, Netconf, REST, or gRPC-based APIs.
  • Ability to lead cross-functional architecture discussions across software, firmware, hardware, validation, product, and customer-facing teams.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create clear architecture documents and present trade-offs.
