An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world.

As an NVIDIAN, you'll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
We are looking for a senior systems software engineer to advance the Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) infrastructure that powers many accelerated open-source software. We are passionate about the opportunity to shape the future of secure and scalable CI/CD infrastructure for many open-source AI and accelerated computing software on the NVIDIA platform!
What you will be doing:

  • Collaborate effectively with peers and partners through brainstorming and review sessions to produce high-quality design, code, and documentation.
  • Review, recommend, and model guidelines of CI/CD for reliability, performance, monitoring, security, compliance, interoperability, usability, correctness, consistency, simplicity, etc.
  • Support other NVIDIA teams in using this foundational infrastructure.
  • Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to setting technical direction and standards for the infrastructure team.

What we need to see:
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience and 8 years of experience with software engineering in several programming languages (e.g., Python, Bash, Go), and with data structures/algorithms.
  • Experience with CI/CD technologies such as GitHub Actions and GitLab Runners.
  • Experience with open source software development (workflows, tools, guidelines).
  • Significant experience working with configuration management tools such as Ansible and Terraform.
  • Strong understanding and experience with Kubernetes administration and deployment.
  • Familiarity with security patterns, e.g., authentication protocols (e.g. OAuth 2.0, OIDC), authorization frameworks, and secret management (HashiCorp Vault).
  • Hands-on experience with virtualization tools including containers and virtual machines.
  • Solid understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, Load Balancing).
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Expertise with Agentic AI frameworks, patterns, and tools.
  • Experience developing and operating centralized and large-scale automated build, test, and deployment platforms.
  • Familiarity with compliance and security requirements in cloud and on-prem environments.
  • Experience with NVIDIA platform (hardware and software).
