About the role

Senior engineer to invent, set, and construct the infrastructure and AI direction enabling software/firmware for GPUs. Focus on automation, tools, and practices that accelerate NVIDIA's GPU innovation, including dev tools, build compute, test farms, artifact and release pipelines, secure signing services, and observability.

Responsibilities

  • Set technical direction for major platform areas, leading the architecture, roadmap, and long-term health across multiple product cycles
  • Design and lead infrastructure initiatives that span team boundaries, building alignment with firmware, hardware, and business partners
  • Own platform reliability: define SLIs and SLOs, instrument what isn't measured today, cut MTTR, and automate the incident response when the platform breaks
  • Find the automation opportunities nobody has asked for yet, make the case for it and deliver
  • Architect and invent AI-powered workflows that multiply everyone's output
  • Set the technical bar through design review, technical writing, and mentoring, so the team makes better decisions without you in the room

Qualifications

  • BS or MS degree in EE/CS/CE (or equivalent experience)
  • 12+ years of infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or SRE engineering
  • Deep expertise in modern CI/CD and test automation architecture: pipeline design, build system internals, caching, testing frameworks, and the failure modes for architectures that only appear at scale
  • Strong Python fluency, infrastructure-as-code experience, and scripting ability
  • History in distributed systems, cloud or on-prem compute fleets, containers, and orchestration (K8s or equivalent)
  • Strong understanding of database concepts, schema design, object modeling, SQL or non-SQL
  • Past ownership of cross-org production system(s) and lessons learned from supporting them
  • Outstanding communication, leading, and teaching skills: ability to articulate WHY a solution is correct, write clear requirements, review critically, and guide others to understanding
  • History of growing other engineers, formally or informally
