About the role

NVIDIA DGX Cloud production engineering role focused on building and operating software, automation, and tooling for scalable, reliable, and safe DGX Cloud services across multi-cloud and on-prem environments.

Responsibilities

  • Build and operate production software, automation, and tooling for control plane services, model deployments, and inference and agentic workloads across DGX Cloud environments.
  • Improve the reliability of inference and agentic platforms and services (e.g., NVIDIA Cloud Functions, SGLang- and vLLM-based endpoints, inference services built with NVIDIA Dynamo) through health validation, safer rollouts, observability, and recovery.
  • Improve endpoint availability, inference routing, capacity management, and service health to maintain predictable performance as workloads and demand change.
  • Use infrastructure as code and GitOps to deploy, configure, validate, upgrade, and recover services consistently across environments.
  • Build workflows for service enablement, model releases, handoff, deprecation, and ongoing operations; replace repeatable manual work with reliable automation.
  • Define and instrument SLIs and SLOs for inference and control plane services, including availability and latency; use error budgets to guide reliability improvements and make production health visible to partner teams.
  • Participate in on-call and incident response, troubleshoot failures across routing, model runtimes, software, and infrastructure, and turn recurring issues into automation and durable fixes.
  • Collaborate with model, platform, storage, networking, security, and GPU infrastructure teams to design and operate services safely at scale.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience building or operating production services and large-scale distributed systems, including hands-on automation.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or a comparable language, with experience developing tools for production operations.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code, configuration management, or GitOps, and with building automation for repeatable service deployments and changes.
  • Strong knowledge of Linux, Kubernetes, containers, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and networking fundamentals; ability to diagnose failures in production.
  • Understanding of SRE principles, including SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, incident response, and reducing operational toil.
  • Experience instrumenting services and using metrics, logs, and traces to understand system behavior and improve reliability.
  • Clear technical communication and ability to work across engineering teams.
  • BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
