About the role

Senior Linux Administrator overseeing the operational health, efficiency and observability of NVIDIA's large Linux compute farm supporting VLSI design teams. Hands-on role focusing on performance profiling, system-level debugging, observability, and day-to-day farm operations.

Responsibilities

  • In this position, you will own the operational health, efficiency and observability of a large Linux compute farm serving NVIDIA's VLSI design teams, and be the person who can say where the time and the capacity are actually going.

Qualifications

  • B.E./B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years in Linux systems administration or infrastructure operations at scale.
  • Deep Linux systems and kernel-level expertise - comfortable with perf, eBPF/bpftrace, strace, cgroups, NUMA, memory management, scheduler behaviour and I/O subsystems, and able to use them to find root cause rather than guess at it.
  • Demonstrated experience diagnosing and fixing performance problems on large multi-user compute systems.
  • Strong NFS and distributed filesystem troubleshooting: metadata versus data path, client behaviour, mount and latency issues.
  • Hands-on experience building observability - time-series metrics, log and telemetry pipelines, and dashboards (Prometheus/Grafana, Elastic, or equivalent) - plus strong Python for analysis and automation.
  • Familiarity with batch schedulers (LSF, Slurm, or equivalent) and job resource accounting, and a genuine appetite for operational work.
  • Semiconductor/EDA or HPC background is a plus.
